This is definitely not a typical post for Swiss Legacy, but since I receive a lot of emails about portfolios and you are you readers, I am sure, always looking for new, easy and nice way to publish your work without having the trouble of making your own website… The 5 CMS that I present below are very straightforward in terms of integration, although, you’ll have to get a little bit of dirt on your hands if you want it to look like you want.

Here’s another suggestion:

We’ve been working on http://elementalise.com which is a sort of hosted CMS. It doesn’t force you to use templates, but instead lets you move elements around a canvas online, much like you would manipulate design elements within Photoshop, and then when you’re ready you press the ‘publish’ and your site is live online.

Currently accounts are by invite only but we will release the pay plan shortly. If you want to try it out we can hook you up with a beta account.

Out of the self-hosted options:

Stacey = not a real browser-based cms
Core = dead
Indexhibit = backend unnecessarily complex, development too slow

I also found one called Indxr
Indxr = dead

Any other suggestions?

Thanks for the info Xavier! I used Indexhibit and have played around with Cargo recently. I’ve been considering trying out Stacey for my portfolio redesign and this is really a great resource.

Thanks for the mention about Arlo, Xavier. It was nice to find it in my feed reader today. Just a quick thing, tho, it doesn’t look like there is actually a link to our website in the text above. So for other readers, I am including it here:

Thanks again!
