-CMS something like a joomla
Joomla is utter crap. :( i can assume the sort of functionality specs you are looking for in a CMS, but would not recommend this under any circumstances. it is actually a dying community as well.-a web interface so we can update anywhere
yes, clearly- that is the very definition of a 'CMS'. all done via web browser; platform agnostic.-ease of updating is most important as we post news and images frequently (global changes). a template.
so then, there is not spec for dynamically populating your webpage(s) from news services? or from subscription publications? not wrong, just trying to quickly flush out if there is any remote connection or secondary data stores that need to be communicated with in content populating.-we need to implement blogs within the CMS with commenting
are these instances of the blog software implemented from w/in the CMS, or controlled from root via a manual operation, or the like? do you wish to have any sort of workflow/permissioning assigned to these instances?-some sort of calendar software would need to be included
are there *any* functional specs to this request? 'calendaring' is arguably the single largest custom web application on the web today. it's needs are literally 100% organizationally driven.-10-15 pages would probably need to be created for relaunch
and designed, or simply pages rolled out based on the assigned template already going w/ new content?-we need the functionality of a full-fledged news site, with out our annoy process we go through now.
see: http://blackenterprise.com, http://msnbc.com, http://upscalemag.com, http://cnn.com
we aren't looking for something as robust as those sites, but we need to be able to bring news to our readers similar to the way they do it.
so then, if these are not accurate models, do we have any others that would be? if in fact these are more accurate than not, i can assure you that the project will begin at 6 figures (USD) for custom development alone. the design will probably take a third seat behind the development and workflow/permissions allocation and scripting, from my experience doing this for quite a while. if in fact you are serious, I am happy to discuss this offline as I work with a team that provide these exact services working on very large data-management projects.
