Does the World really need another CMS?

VLW was created for a very specific function. To be an easy to use starter website tool. There are lots of full featured content management systems out there for doing every thing from blogging to social networking, but they are complex and require a steep learning curve and often expose underlying HTML or CSS issues making the learning curve even steeper. VLW was designed for small websites needing a few article pages, wanting a consistant look and feel from page to page and/or some simple pages to collect data from a customer and mail it to the website owner.
