I am planning to publish a portal. I am not trained in server scripting, but I know basics of HTML/CSS/XML.
I am looking forward to use a CMS for the job, I don’t have a lots of bucks to buy an expensive cms. But I can get pirated adobe contribute or open source like drupal, joomla, jaws etc.
can I use pirated contribute for whatever job I like, or do adobe has some genuineness verification program like xp and vista of Microsoft? which wont let the pirated s/w to work or hinder its features.
Which cms gives full freedom in customizing every part of presentation with the help of web authoring software like dreamweaver. or include flash presentations

I’m really puzzled about this thing here….
We have a website (called The Gospel Of The Kingdom). It was originally developed with Adobe Dreamweaver. I downloaded a free trial of Dreamweaver, after a friend of ours developed the site. I then did lots of modification and updates, etc, etc.
Now, the site is not the most search engine friendly website there is, it seems. Furthermore, its all HTML, and there are some problems with both the HTML and the CSS Style Sheet. I am going to take a college course on web development but until then… I need some tips and pointers.
I read so much good about Joomla, and I’ve even installed it on our server in a sub directory. But, It was just about impossible for me to find a template I liked, that was free… and even harder to make one myself. We would like it to look like our current website, but to be formatted more for letters and books (the current HTML site is very narrow as far as that goes).
There are a lot of apps… Nvu got me into A LOT of trouble with HTML coding and I would never use that again. I heard about Eclipse and Aptana… I’d like to get that maybe, if it would work.
So, basically… I need some help as to what app to use. We do not have the money for Dreamweaver and I’ve read a lot of bad about HTML coding, etc, etc. Joomla would work out great if I could just make the template look like our current website. I’d give a link but Yahoo Answers does not allow that.
