Three or four thousand dollars for a cms is just silly. You can have someone write one for you for a fraction of the cost, or purchase one of the existing other products for a few hundred dollars.

Looks like CARMA does manage tours and both can provide the "whats new" feature, but also found out both are not fully functional for complex front-end tours if one decides to have different sections and features for the visitor. If a person keeps the standard (and boring) tours as every sponsor site out there does, then sure...lol

Anyways, I will be passing this on to the person I am collecting info for. It's their site project and ultimately will be their decision to make. THeir existing site is big and continuously growing so a small solution just becomes more cost in the long-run when they would need to upgrade again so it's best to do it right from the start if you've already been doing business for years and need that automation
