    text
    copied!<p>I am working on a project for a client that started out as a simple CMS with pages, posts, and a directory. The client is constantly expanding the scope of this project with requirements for customization of just about everything. As a single developer, I am having trouble keeping up with the clients time-table. I have googled for software packages that might already exist that proved the features my client needs but I have not found anything. Does anyone know of any pre-built software that allows for the following customization or at least better words to describe this type of package?</p> <p>Here are some examples of the customization that is requested:</p> <ul> <li><p>A page or directory listing needs to be formatted from an admin-defined template. Within this template there needs to be admin-defined sections that contain admin-defined data types. (This is so the look and feel of the site can be maintained while users can easily build content, add listings, and etc.)</p></li> <li><p>Advertising-tiles need to be able to be defined and populated globally and at page level.</p></li> <li><p>All user generated content, pages, posts, and directory listings need to be associated with user and have flexibility to show all other user generated content for inter-linking between same users content.</p></li> <li><p>Site would need billing/e-commerce system for premium listings, premium posts, advertising tiles, and etc.</p></li> <li><p>Approval system for all user added or edited content (pages, posts, directory listings, etc.)</p></li> </ul> <p>(asp.net and mvc are definitely preferable)</p>
