Question for designers
I am a novice designer at best. I have a website i would like to launch, but would like to be able to maintain it myself once the design was done. Is this possible? If i paid someone to design the basic layout for my site (it would have a navigation system, browse and search function...kind of along the lines of a place like myspace i guess. The only changing weekly would be advertisment or what have you. Is this possible for me to take over and do myself? Would i need the program they were using...yada? If this is possible then i was thinking of offering up the job here. I am going to do all the graphics and images, text. All i need is the hardcore stuff like navi system, browse, and personal blogging for each memember and user.
Thanks for any advice and help.

Sounds like you are looking for a CMS (Content Management System). I have heard very good things about Joomla but never used it.

Or you could manually install one yourself which isnt that hard.

Joomla is indeed very nice, I tried the demo a while ago.
http://umbraco.org/ is more "myspace" imho. I'll dl the source for that one when I got the time.

Joomla! with the Community Builder component works nicely, but it depends on what exact features you want.
