I=92m gonna maintain the site(s) (one point, if there is dozen of the simil=
ar sites,does it make difference?), CMS, do updates... but =93they=94 will =
maintain the content.
Budget is low to nonexistent.
There is no cost difference which CMS I=92m gonna select.
Some SEO work would/should be done, but not a decision making key.
Is the CMS necessary? I was thinking about to code by myself but it would t=
ake more time and it=92s always security issue - that=92s why is community =
for :-)

Thanks.
