Result:
300 pages divided over 23 CCS projects containing different parts of the
intranet. About 80% of wich are finished and active on the intranet. The
remaining 20% are projects currently in development with 10 projects on the
shelf that I haven't even started on.
Now imagine handcoding all of this and you will understand why I just love
CCS.

How long did all this take you, Ron? And did you do it alone?

Hi Don,
The intranet I designed was a revamp of earlier work with CC. After trying
the import function in CCS I decided to do it from scratcht. I didn't have
to redesign the databse so I only had to do all the pages. I started when
the first beta of CCS came out and "finished"last sunday ( or rather early
monday morning :- ). I converted the database from the old server to the new
( the old one was running on WinNT and had stability problems with apache
and mysql so we switched to win2k professional server(apache/mysql/php)).
The design work was done by me and I had some support with setting up the
new server. All in All I think it took me about 4 months redesigning and
coding with CCS at aproximately 36 hours a week. This could have been done a
lot faster but it took a lot of time to get all the departments together to
list their wishes and I had to go into hospital for an operation that caused
me to be unable to sit on my butt for 4 weeks(still on sickleave now but the
VPN allows me to work from home). In the end a lot of functionality wasn't
added because of the time it would take. Another problem was the lack of php
documentation wiht CCS. I learned php coding with CC and had to rethink
almost everything when CCS turned out the use a far more OOP aproach then CC
ever did. So getting email notification working the way I wanted took some
time, custom code in general took a lot more time then it used to take in
CC. SQL took a lot of time also because the intranet is also used to deliver
management tools that show workload per employer per month, set off against
norm values as decided by management. (our client registration software runs
on Oracle and the constant switching from oracle to mysql sql dialect can
get frustrating) . The other problem is that I'm not a graphic designer but
had to do all the html stuff as wel because I'm the only one in the it
department that nows how. Since everything had to look decent as well as
work this took a lot of time as well.
So I think it could have been done faster, better and yes... more pretty 
but it's up and running and the first day I got ten emails about little
problems and today just one. I'm happy
