    Hello,
    I am starting a flash tutorials website similar to wolfdemo but it wont be based on just web hosting related stuff. I am looking for a CMS to start on a free one would be preferred but if there is a paid one I will also take that into consideration.

    Some features I will need
    • Good themes, I am going for a darkish colored theme
    • Some spots to put ads
    • Members login system
    • Different parts of the website have paid subscriptions or they pay and they get access to X amounts of pages
    • Im sure I will add more here later
    The CMS will work if they have plugins for these features they don't have to be built in to the actual CMS.
    Please ask any questions if needed thanks
    -Dustin

    You can pull this off with joomla or drupal... joomla is quite easy if your not used to using a cms. http://www.joomla.org/
    you can make that stuff do just about anything pretty quickly.

    hope that helps,
    Nigel

    Joomla is decent but it's not the "best" out there. There are several choices and Joomla can get quite overwhelming at times for new users. Check out some of the other options here: CMSTester.com
    I literally have listed every blog, wiki and cms platform available with descriptions. there are also some reviews that mmight help
