Client Learing Curve

A lot of developers are wondering what clients' learning curve is on using Concrete5. I can tell you from experience that I have seen a client use Concrete5 efficiently in about 1-2 days. This is someone will average knowledge of the web. The main questions we get are basic web questions that someone with little web experience would ask such as how to link something to another page, how to rename a page, what keywords to use, etc.

As compared to Joomla or other true CMS system the curve is very different. Clients (and some developers/designers) seem to have a much longer learning curve with Joomla; several days if not weeks. Things in Concrete5 are well thought out and easy to use. If this was an MP3 player it would be an iPod. Now if we can just get more designers on board with learing the system we would be happy!
