    Hi guys...

    I was wondering if anyone knew where I could find a really really cheap (Preferably free) CMS for managing properties.

    A family friend has asked me to help him design a site for his real estate company.

    He isn't bethered at all about SEO...

    I guess as long as I can make a nice looking concept for him, he will be happy...

    The only requirements that I have, are to be able to list the latest 2 properties on the index page, with images (One will do)..

    Really I don't want to have to pay for it because I am not really getting anything for doing this and I really just want him to be happy without it costing me too much...

    If anyone has any suggestions, I would really appreciate it...

    Cheers

    Drupal.org - the new 4.5rc-1

    I built my current site on it (do i have a sig here lol!) and i also built a nice furniture store for my mums biz on it.

    Im "intimate" with it ;) ive built a few modules and regularly hack the code for my own tweaks: SE friendly, will do exactly what you want with the image module installed.

    Very helpful and active support community too..

    added:: hmmm.. no sig, not sure on the rules so you can check my profile if you wish...

    Don't think it's for free but the trial edition is very easy to install and run www.signumsoft.com/htmlnavigator. If link doesn't work: www.signumsoft.com

    Mambo! Mambo! Mambo! with a bit of work would do the trick ...

    If that can't be configured to the exact taste then get Hot Property for $120 ... Demo Page

    I built a site recently, Arizona Multiple Listing Service, with Open-Realty. The layout is pretty basic but you can change all of that to match your needs or ideas.

    Wow... I'd forgotten about this thread.

    Thanks guys, that's pretty handy. I've got to finish this site soon. It's been going on to long (Lots of changes have been m,ade since the initial quote) :rolleyes:

    I've had a look at open reality, but it doesn't seem to be customisable enough for my needs.

    I may give Hot Property a go.

    Thanks again...

    Hi,

    I developed a new Real Estate php script for your sites. It is based on Jetbox cms and you can test it clicking on the following link: http://jpga.free.fr

    As I have to work much to carry it out, it is not free but the price is very low: 10 €.

    Send to me your remarks.

    Thanks.

    jpga@free.fr

    :)

    It certainly looks nice, but I wouldn't buy it because I *ALWAYS* insist on deploying for tryout on my own servers (for a variety of reasons) before I spend.

    You could support this in a number of ways, but that's up to you :)

    All the best with it,

    JL
