If you want to do customizing with ElevatedX though it quickly becomes a headache.

Our goal is to offer our customers a product that will get them up and running with quality sites that rival the most successful online...without making them spend months of work and tons of money on customizations to make it happen.
The CMS offers a massive benefit right out of the box with things like limited trial areas, iPad and mobile site versions, model index, DVD catalog, Banner Management, Video on Demand Sites, Mega-Pass Networks, tube style and transparent "deep tours" for SEO. This is on top of dozens of time saving features for scheduling, photo handling and automatic video conversion, clip cutting and screencapping.
AND we handle 100% of the installation and setup and provide online tech support and release a new CMS version every year with tons of new features.
In other words...you shouldn't be doing any customizing
All kidding aside, I'm sorry you found the learning curve of customizing the software to be a headache. We do have developer docs we can send you as well as staff that is happy to answer questions and help you out. Don't hesitate to call or email us if there's anything we can do to help make it easier when you're trying to make changes.
And - thanks for the honest feedback on the system. It's very much appreciated
