Content management software

This entry is different than the rest of the posts that are on here. This topic more asks for help than gives design and computer advice. I know some of you are saying you are designer you are to know these things. Well from time to time even experts go to the till  and ask for help.

Being involved in a project that is undergoing a new environment from a single to a multi-admin environment

Most of the sites that I deal with are what I like to call single admin. This means I can get as visual as I can possibly get because the site may need to be updated once in a while or it’s updates for a calendar page that are just adding rows in a table or the updates are so small that it can be done without letting someone else do it because the client is not computer savvy.

Now the project that I’m aiding on is a multi-admin environment meaning more than 1 person will be adding content and may need to be time specific content updates. In this economy if you are small designer that means you are doing this on the side and may not have time to add the update at 12:00 PM due to working at another job. Thus environments like this are key.

In these few weeks I’ve learned that you have to pick your battles and really over analyze your environments before you go in and put things on paper and draw them out.  So this project has been a real learning experience for me and not just something that I can put a time line on and design.

If anyone can help me with tutorials, websites, and any other kind of hints regarding wordpress the more help the better.
