j22cal Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Up until now, i have mostly been writing my pages with just XHTML pages. However, when there are a lot of pages, it gets kinda hard to deal with. This is probably a someone subjective question, but what CMS do you recommend? Seems like WordPress it starting to be used more and more for site management. Is it good? Are there any others that you would recommend? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Andrea Posted March 15, 2010 Report Share Posted March 15, 2010 Considering that it's being used more and more - it's either good, or there is something wrong with the many people using it. It is free, has loads of plug-ins and allows for all kinds of features, but it's the only one I've tried so I cannot give you any kind of comparison.

Susie Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 (edited) I prefer WordPress for the reasons Andrea listed. I've also got a fair amount of experience with CMS Made Simple. It's a pretty good CMS and may be a tad easier to use when it comes to creating catalogs and managing pages without needing a bunch of extra plugins/modules. At least that's my opinion.

administrator Posted March 17, 2010 Report Share Posted March 17, 2010 Drupal and Joomla are very popular. Both are very powerful, where Drupal requires more configuration work and Joomla may not be as flexible ... but it is easier to set up. .. I've never used Joomla though, I am just repeating what I've heard. Stefan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lm Posted April 21, 2010 Report Share Posted April 21, 2010 Wordpress seems to be a best choice to start with, if it will be your first CMS and the text is the main content of your website. Once you go through Wordpress, the other CMS will be easier and quicker to learn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jsheffers Posted May 1, 2010 Report Share Posted May 1, 2010 Wordpress is a great start for a first CMS. I love Drupal but like Stefan said it's a pain to configure, but extremely powerful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
