CMS - which do you use

[desk2web]

I am heavily involved in content management systems (Joomla, Mambo and bespoke systems) I was curious to see which CMS system you use on your web sites.

For those unfamiliar with CMS systems such as Joomla, they quite simply allow you, the owner or adminstrator of the site to update the site without necessarily knowing any HTML or other web language.

Whilst I am here, if anyone needs any information on CMS systems please reply to this thread.

CMS is the way to go without a doubt.

I have used Mambo / Joomla on a few clients website's and ALL my site's are powered by Joomla...
I am very happy with it - especially when a good SEO component is used to create search engine friendly URL's (the standard Joomla SEF system is rubbish).

we use joomla - can you recommend a good sef component - we are only getting major hits from the front page although thanks to google maps, the whole site is indexed

I use WordPress.

It is easy to setup, easy to use, offers RSS feeds,etc.

The only thing that bothers me is navigation between posts, as there has to be a special theme to have a sidebar on single post pages.

Related posts plugin is relatively good, too, though.

Hi.

We use our own CMS we call PRISM it was specifically designed to displap and sell artists works and photography, but now is used to sell all manner of things. It has an easy editor and html editor, and sells using either/both paypal or cart.

I have installed Joomla, Mambo from the cpanel and couldn't make head nor tail of them. I handcode and and am intelligent, or I thought I was until installing both softwares. lol

regards Lynny Canzdesign

Hiii
We use only drupal because its a SEO Friendly and Secured
Drupal use smarty template where as on the other hand
and Joomla uses plugin and modules whereas Drupl has module only
In drupal php code can be written directly whereas in
Joomla you need to install plugin for php support

Having used Joomla a lot and from general consensus, I can recommend Joomla more than any other CMS out there, especially since 1.5 came out. The code standards are high, it's good for SEO, just by adding ARTIO SEF component, and it doesnt rely on smarty templates.

Joomla uses MVC structure and proper object orientation, which is nice from a coders point of view

I use Drupal.... there is a quite steep learning curve, but there are many 3rd party modules out there to extend the functionality that makes it all worthwhile.
