Not an Ad: This Platform Rocks!
I've been in Web Development/Internet/tech for over 10 years, so I feel like I have an ounce of credibility when I say that GraffitiCMS just is AWESOME.
Ten years ago, I kid you not, the functionality in this $400 product would have been $70k at least.
I have been helping Dan Pink, author of A Whole New Mind, prepare his online strategy for his upcoming book, The Adventures of Johnny Bunko: The Last Career Guide You'll Ever Need (www.johnnybunko.com is the non-Graffiti site, but you can check it out there).
A friend recommended that I check out Graffiti, made by Telligent and led by my acquaintance, Rob Howard. And with it, that I use www.appliedi.net for hosting (cheap and GREAT customer service)
I set up Dan's temp site (it'll go live in April) on Graffiti and was so convinced that I've moved my entire online brand (Jer979) over to it as well.
If you are in web development or, more importantly, if you are hiring someone to build a site for you...don't. Save your money.
Just great.
No, this was not a paid advertisement. And yes, I am a megaphone for these guys. I should probably ask them for a marketing/biz dev job! :-)

Hi Jeremy,
Actually there was a bug in the store. The price is actually $70K, we are sending you a new invoice. :)
Thanks for the kind words. We are very happy to hear you like it and that it has helped you get your sites launched.
Thanks,
Scott

Jeremy, thanks for the kind words about AppliedI (I don't know if we're cheap but we're definitely GREAT :) ). We're big fans of the work the guys at telligent are doing and are equally excited about the promise graffiti brings. You can't beat an application that you just upload and it works!
Looking forward to watching your site grow with graffiti. Jess
