natcheney Posted November 15, 2012 Report Posted November 15, 2012 What content managements systems would you recommend for someone new to professional web design but with a background in html? I've only used Joomla!, and I love how friendly it is, but I've heard great things about both Wordpress and Drupal. Cost aside, which has more advantages for a small business or personal page? Quote
grabenair Posted November 15, 2012 Report Posted November 15, 2012 This is just my personal opinion but I like wordpress. To me it is a lot simpler to use. Quote
administrator Posted November 16, 2012 Report Posted November 16, 2012 Wordpress has the HUGE community and ecosystem behind it. That above all, is it's greatest asset. You want templates/themes, plug-ins, unlimited. Wordpress itself is easy to set up and use. I actually think it is a fundamental skill of web design: I believe all web designers should learn at least a little Wordpress - it's that popular among small business owners. I wrote about this in 2010: http://www.killersites.com/blog/2010/the-wordpress-web-design-strategy/ Stefan Quote
administrator Posted November 16, 2012 Report Posted November 16, 2012 I failed to mention Drupal and Joomla ... they are cool too, but I would lean towards Wordpress for all but really big projects and in those cases, Joomla and Drupal might be worth considering. Not to say you can't build a big site with Wordpress, you can. And you can build small sites with Joomla and Drupal ... it is just that WP is easier to config. Stefan Quote
valeria Posted November 21, 2012 Report Posted November 21, 2012 The Joomla Web CMS is considered to be a popular choice for many types of websites, including corporate sites, news or blogs, government applications, small business sites and sites where secure logins are required. The ecosystem of Joomla developers and users provide products and services to the Joomla community which has more than one-half million members and more than 20,000 developers. Quote
williams22 Posted November 23, 2012 Report Posted November 23, 2012 My option is WordPress. We can create a professional and attractive web design by using the templates!! Quote
kcmastrpc Posted December 9, 2012 Report Posted December 9, 2012 Over the summer I built my local city governments web site using Joomla (crossvilletn.gov). It was a very unique learning experience - one that I'll probably never do again (at least not unless I'm being paid a lot of money). The functionality of their package is unprecedented but the documentation is horrible - and while I understand they have a great community, nothing beats having a well-documented code base. I cannot always wait 2-3 days for an answer to come back and engage in a 5-10 day discussion over an issue I'm having. Learning their MVC framework was like picking at my eye ball with a pitch fork. I managed to build some functional extensions for it, but only after weeks of experimentation and frustration. If I get another project my way that requires such an extensive CMS I'm going to look at some of the other packages. For the most part though, I've been able to build sites with my own CMS (which I'm going to rebuild since I'm learning OOP with the help of the guys here). Quote
onetoone Posted December 19, 2012 Report Posted December 19, 2012 I go with joomla, it is very convenient for making the website. Quote

AdamJack Posted February 15, 2013 Report Posted February 15, 2013 The choice of the platform for your website is often no less important than building a foundation of a house. It provides a framework for later developments, so you need to think twice before making the final decision.As per my experience i must prefer WordPress that i really appreciable. Quote
