We’d like to recommend a CMS. We’ve been using e107 with hosted Powweb hosting and found it very reliable, simple to set up and a wonderful tool for our website.
e107 is an advanced CMS system for your website. For example, you can enter content and later you can search for it or browse through the calendar. e107 is ideal for those who are looking for a solid core, easily modifiable themes and an extensive number of plugins, highly preferred by web developers. You are required to have at least a basic knowledge of PHP and MySQL in order to use this e107 CMS system.
The coolest thing with Powweb hosting is that you able to easily install the most popular open-source scripts. There are over 40 scripts available to be auto-installed in Powweb InstallCentral.

- In Preferences, set Admin Front Page style: admin_etalkers
- Then, Admin Front Page items are categorized into: Main Options, Users, Content, Communication, Files Management, Other tools, Plugin Management
- At Main options, stop cache system so that changes made in the site may be reflected properly. Then, update all other preferences to suit your needs. Now is design time, the FrontPage design with Menus.
