We used this strategy on a small vendor database for a local nonprofit street newspaper when we built a vendor locater web app for them. The non-technical staff can update vendor names, availability, photos (by URL) and locations, which we then pull from to populate a map-driven search. It worked really well and saved hours of work building a custom CMS. The app is at http://find.megaphonemagazine.com http://find.megaphonemagazine.com (best viewed on a smartphone) and the code is open source at https://github.com/denimandsteel/megaphone https://github.com/denimandsteel/megaphone.
