First off I should say that I don’t have any experience in working with a CMS.

I have 2 general questions about CMS:

  • How easy is it to create a template? I have strong CSS/XHTML skills, is creating a template as easy as writing the markup or does it have to be done in a very rigid way?
  • How is jQuery support in CMS systems? I like what you can do with jQuery and would like to incorporate it into the next couple of sites that I will do.

EDIT:

So far answers are asking which CMS, I don’t have any in mind. Any suggestions welcome, open source and non .NET preferable.

    Question 1:

    It is quite easy. You just create your mark up with XHTML/CSS as you’ve always done. The point is that you have to leave placeholders/holes/(divs with nothing in them)/li’s to store dynamic content.

    Remember you’ll still have to choose a CMS framework from the variety out there. I find WordPress great.

    Question 2:

    Just like you’ve always done in your previous sites. Just include the jQuery library on all templates and write you jQuery script as you go.

    I’ll be back with more info.

    UPDATE:

    For WordPress templating check this:

    For jQuery integration:

    I hope it helps you get started. It helped me.

    UPDATE:

    I don’t know why the links are not working.
