Im like do I look like an elephant? You Think I will work for peanuts?

I kindly told her I would not be able to meet her budget or timeline, but good luck .. Then wanted me to do a flash banner for 10 bucks :eek:

Actually that would take me about 10 hours and a modified Joomla. ;) Most of what you posted is already available with Joomla and I do believe that it has a seperate "newsletter/contact" contribution for it.

Except for the "logo" unless it was just a font text.

Most CMS programs already have these features and more - and most people don't know that when they ask for "custom" it's high dollars.

Good luck.

I never could understand that. "Customized CMS" WTF for!?

That's like me asking a software compnay to produced a customized WYSYWIG Web Design program for me, because Dreamweaver isn't good enough.
