Looking for customizable CMS, sort of....

[Strangeplant]

I'm thinking of using a CMS system, but I have numerous php pages that are stand-alone, highly specialized and not suitable at all to put in wrappers, so I will have to link to them, using the CMS as a front end and not using all the standard bells and whistles. Joomla, Drupal, are out. Maybe Mambo too. Any suggestions? I would use the CMS essentially for the look..... but even that has to be highly customized. Suggestions? I'm considering writing my own from framework from scratch.

check out Textpattern (http://www.textpattern.com) U can use raw PHP with it and all through the admin interface.

I run 3 sites with Textpattern. One is a Blog, Another is an Ecommerce site, and the last one is a newspaper type site.

It can be used for almost everything imaginable.
