If I remember well they offered to purchase advertising on my sites (that could be an another site, but I remember well their homepage).
As for CMS management, really IMO it is better to write it yourself or to get it done by someone. That way you have only your imagination as limits! PHP/MySQL is so powerful, fast and easy to use that it’s really a good option to make you a complete customized interface, responding to all your needs.
You will maybe lose some time and money at the start but it will an investment that you won’t regret!
I’ve written myself everything for my sites and it saves me tons and tons and tons of time. :rasta:
(however I am still as busy as before :phone: , but I am doing 5x the usual work)
