L.S., Web design / content management is not my bread and butter (as my signature might explain :-), but I have to evaluate a proposal to bring my (real life) employer's site under a content management system. After a European Tender procedure, we're left with several offers in the high 6 digits (Euro's ~ Dollars). These are the characteristics of our site: 1. O(10**5) pages, of which probably half are stale. 2. Mostly static content - the dynamic pages are updated at most a few times per day. Content consists of text and static pictures. 3. O(10**6) hits per day on average, which might shoot up to O(10**6) hits per hour under special circumstances (~10 times per year). In the future we might consider (in addition to the above): 4. Pictures worth O(100Kb) - O(1Mb) updated every 15 minutes. 5. Loops of the above with 4 - 12 pictures, updated every 15 minutes. The obvious questions are: 1. Can Zope handle a site like this (items 1-3) ? 2. Can it handle the update (items 4-5) ? 3. Is it possible to give a rough estimate of the amount of work to bring this site under Zope's CMF (working hours) ? It could well be these questions just show my ignorance; what information is lacking to make an educated guess ?
