Great comment battle "for CMS suggestions"

  • Choosing the right CMS isn't easy, isn't it?
  • If you are creating websites this hint is for you.
  • If you are completely satisfied with WordPress this hint is not for you.

Interested in the forever ongoing discussion about the best CMS?

Over at 456bereastreet.com there is a fresh article from today handling the questions which have to be asked and proposing some scenarios. The author Roger Johansson is a Swedish web professional.

But the valuable content is coming from the commenting crowd. Most of them are talking about real life experiences with the many different CMS.

That CMS discussion looks like a great pool of CMS knowledge exchange.

Content Management Systems

A couple of times in the past I have asked my readers for CMS suggestions, but it’s been a while now. Last time we ended up using Plone, which was a real pain to work with. I don’t know if the situation has improved by now (it’s been three years), but just thinking about working with it gives me a stomach ache. So we want to look at other options, and I’d like to ask what you all think.

We’ve been looking around for a while and two of the very few systems that look like they could be worth spending more time with are ModX and Drupal. Their approaches to content handling are quite different, so they would most likely suit different kinds of clients.

Looking for open source CMS and portal software options

Right now I can see 73 comments and I am sure there are many more to come.

Choosing a CMS can be tough. I wrote an article about it here: http://cmstester.com/how-to-choose-a-cms/
