I'm looking for a simple CMS for a site I'm building for my girlfriend.
The requirements are very minimal
Any suggestions come to mind?
Can wordpress do this?
For something this simple, with only a handful of pages, it almost seems like overkill to use a CMS at all. Surely the added complexity of a huge application like WordPress isn't called for here.
You may think that it is simple - an dit is now. But can you predict the future?
If your gf is an artist, might she not want to sell? Then she'll need watermarking (now) and a shopping cart (when she decides to sell).
Does she want to speak about her art? She'll need a blog.
Does she want others to speak about her art, or art in general? Then a forum n (blog & forum will also attract viewers).
Etc, etc.
Why not consult the oracle at http://www.cmsmatrix.org/ ? It's the best place to go to look for a CMS system.
Pick something simple & easy to set up & use, but be aware of possible future expansion features.
Yes, you can use WordPress with some gallery plugins, for example: NexGEN or kPicasa Gallery. Last is used for show pictures from your Picasa account.
Other option: ZENPhoto. Actually you can combine both WordPress and ZENPhoto in one site.
