Summary

This chapter has introduced Mambo. Mambo is an open-source content management system; you can also think of it as a free tool for managing the content of websites.

We looked at what Mambo offers in terms of a visitor experience, and also what this will mean for the person who is in charge of maintaining the site. Mambo has functionality to make site maintenance easy, and the site can be run from a web-based interface. We found out about the Mambo community, and where to go for help or further Mambo resources.

The chapter concluded with a quick description of Zak Springs Golf Club—the site we are going to create in this book.

We are ready to begin on this journey, so the next step is to actually get Mambo up and running.
