Tips To Choose The Right CMS For Your Web Site
By admin | March 5, 2009
Don’t worry, I’ve been designing websites now for quite a while, and have dealt with every CMS (Content Management System) from WordPress to Joomla. While I’m not biased, I do have a preferred form of CMS, simply because I find that it is much easier to manage, both from a Designer’s, as well as a Client End-User’s standpoint. First up: Drupal. Drupal’s an open-source CMS, which means that it’s open to whoever would like to help develop it. It has a number of features, like electronic commerce, Blogs, forums, peer-to-peer networking, newsletters, etc. So, it has many possibilities, so it may be a little “source-heavy” (having to deal with typing or editing source code) for the average client. Let’s see what other options we have.
Joomla is another open-source CMS, and has many of the same features as Drupal, and for all intensive purposes, is very much like Drupal. Joomla has the added advantage of being supported by developers that routinely develop different plugins and applications through it for you to use in your websites. Yes, Wordpress is mentioned in this article. In fact, WordPress is undeniably the largest and most extensive CMS out there. It’s supported not only by friendly developers, but a staff that actually works on the base core of Wordpress.
There are innumberable amounts of plugins and tips available for WordPress, as well as tons of forums open for advice on using it both as a blogging platform and a CMS. In my opinion, I’m going to have to side with Wordpress. As you can see, there are TONS of options for CMSs – I’ve simply named three of the top ones.
