Thinking of using Vanilla as a CMS

I am thinking of using vanilla as a CMS by means of creating a topic as a page. Any thoughts?

I saw that but it is in Beta and recommended not to use for Production.

Id give it a shot rather than attempting your own solution.

Custom pages is great if you dont mind gerting your hands dirty. If you want a cms style web ui for editing site comtent go with vanillacms. What testing i did showed a pretty solid tool. Never played with candy, although ive seen it and the icon graphic is cute.

There is a CMS application that has been built on top of garden. Take a look at the addins page.

There is another CMS application built upon Garden: Candy

I am not sure if I should use this as a CMS. I think I will look somewhere else for the CMS and use vanilla as a comment module.
