JonnoTheDev Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 Advantages: No need to learn PHP, etc if you are using it straight out of the box, quick to setup Disadvantages: Possible security holes, need to install patches for bug fixes, may not have a feature that you or a client requires in their website, looks and feels the same as other websites using the same system, possible steep learning curve if you wish to modify the code yourself to add new functionality. This applies to any CMS, not just the one you mention Quote Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/273795-third-party-softwares-for-build-website-is-good-or-bad/#findComment-1408997 Share on other sites More sharing options...

kicken Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 A CMS is fine if it fits into what you need it to do. The more you need it's functionality customized though, the harder they can be to work with. There isn't any one-size-fits-all solution when it comes to website construction. You have to analyze what you want to accomplish with your site and then do some research to determine if it is something you can accomplish with an off-the-shelf CMS (w/ plugins possibly) or if you'll need to do some custom coding.
