And that is even more truer for bands such as Massive Attack, who for a long time now, have been a self-proclaimed "albums band".

    Richard : We advise most of our clients nowadays to go with Wordpress. Unless they're doing some advanced ecommerce thing then maybe Drupal or a custom webapp.
  • Avatar of Richard
    Richard : To get the most out of Drupal you probbaly need some sort of PHP skills.
  • Avatar of Richard
    Richard : drupal is probably the most flexible CMS of them all but it is also the one with the hardest learning curve.
