Let’s say you want to start a commercial website. You don’t want to reinvent Ebay or Amazon, just sell some stuff, like, I don’t know, your gramma’s pottery or something. Make some money on the side. But you want your site to look nice and professional, not like one of those flashy scam-businesses where you’re constantly being told you’ve just won a million dollars because you are by some unbelievable coincidence the umpteenth visitor.

Voilá, here’s the CCK – the Content Construction Kit.
