Hi all,

I've inherited a website that currently runs off Drupal 6. We've had our share of problems with upgrade migrations, the way it was initially built, and lack of simple layout flexibility in the current version. Additionally, the existing website uses Subversion. The previous guy was pretty over the top for a one person team.

So I'd like to think outside the Drupal box for a minute and start fresh. Our goal is a marketing-driven website with some dynamic content such as content customized to users who would be able to log in and have accounts. At this point in time, I and another guy would be the sole content editors/developers, so a big fancy CMS may not be necessary.

What would you recommend? Something like Codeigniter? Stay with Drupal and attempt to fix? Some other CMS that's less abstract? A static website that only makes use of a template system like Smarty?

Thanks.

I'd say have a look at Expressionengine, the new 2.x version is built on Codeigniter, and templating is a breeze with all the flexiblity you'll ever want.

Thanks for the ExpressionEngine suggestion. I'll keep that in mind as an option.
