Rhunt,

If by "community site" you mean forums, picture gallery, etc. then there a number of great turn-key solutions.

I suggest vBulletin® - Instant Community - forum software, in combination with vBadvanced - a CMS system specifically designed to work with vBulletin® - Instant Community.

Once it's setup then all the work is done from a dashboard that the average joe can figure out.

Depending on his other "community" needs there are dozens of plug-ins for vbulletin that extend its features.

Hope that helps.

Peter
