WHAT’S YOUR FAVORITE CMS?

By Glen Graham | June 26, 2008

C.M.S is short for content management system. Content management systems have been around for quite awhile but I have noticed that the buzz has been steadily growing even out side the technology circle. The main idea behind a content management systems is giving clients the freedom to update content on their site via a control panel online from any computer that can access the internet. Often I come across CMS sites that are plagued with bugs and glitches. These bugs can be over come with time and diligence.

It’s totally understandable that today clients are more knowledgeable and demanding. They want more control and freedom to keep their customers a breast of the latest developments with out sending massive email blasts and newsletters to clients. Or constantly having to pay money to a web-designer when they need their site updated.

I have worked with the following content management systems over the years. Joomla,Drupal,WordPress and Typepad . My favorite so far would have to be WordPress. I have found the WordPress community to be a sharing one. The documentation and the forums on how to use some other CMS platforms can be cryptic and even outdated. So far my favorite CMS is wordpress. A buddy of mine told me to try ExpressionEngine so I’m going to check it out download it and see how it functions on my test server I will let you guys know how it turns out. So what is your favorite CMS? leave me a comment.

Stumble it!

    I would also vote for ExpressionEngine. I’ve built a few sites with that and been using their CodeIgniter framework for a few years. The fact that it’s open source, built on PHP, fully customizable and supported by really smart people is another great advantage over other CMS platforms.

    Cheers!
