Hi Marcus,
Your article on CMS is illuminating. I completely agree with you. Using a CMS is a must if you are going to manage content. Free form pages would eventually be a nightmare. CMS applications like wordpress, joomla, or drupal offer not only ways to manage you content but also offer plugins to help disperse content making it very viral and more likely to gain followers and recognition. The easy integration combined with easy content management make CMS systems a must have for large amounts of content or really any website with more than 5 pages.

Hi Marcus, I like your first hand analysis of all the available CMSs in this single post. I also have done such a comparison for my website and concluded that wordpress is the only best as of now.

I also tried plenty of CMS software.It was also a very long and tedious process.Eventually I just went with wordpress.It is in my opinion,a lot easier to learn than drupal or some other cms software.

Hmm…I was actually going to use Joomla! but after reading this post I’ll be trying something else. The reviews were very helpful so thanks for sharing. I keep hearing mostly positive things about wordpress and after reading this post I’ll have to check it out.

Great post Marcus. Like you, I’ve been building static HTML websites using Dreamweaver. You have now saved me a ton of time knowing to simply visit WP. Since I was able to code HTML, I suspect transitioning to PHP should not be so difficult. Kudos on a job well done.

I’m personally not a fan of Content Management Systems, it makes it difficult when there isn’t a plug-in available for what you’re looking to have done, and when you need to create custom “one-of-a-kind” type web applications for your website. It’s really only an ideal choice if your site is purely informational, and you’re just looking to be able to update / add more content and you don’t necessarily have the technical expertise to do the updating yourself.

Great post. I’ve found Wordpress to be the best CMS overall. It’s not just great for blogging, but also any business can use it.

Quite some time ago I had the same question. I trued drupal, joomla and php nuke. And with each of them I got the same question: Am I the only person to stupid to use these CMSs? Luckily I found wordpress. At the moment I can hardly imagine any use case where wordpress is a bad choice.

Hey Marcus! Really great review of CMS! I wish I found it before. I use Joomla! for my site, but it had to be customized a lot. It was a big project involving full time PHP engineer. So far I’m quite happy with results and then future will show.;)

There are many succesful websites built using just wordpress and Drupal with little customization however. They come pretty good out the box!

Wordpress is the best CMS I have used. The learning curve is smaller than other CMS’ such as drupal and joomla.

The expression engine looks very good, but i’ll opt for joomla or in a case of a blog, to wordpress.
