tj71587 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I am new to php and am redoing a website in the near future in need of a cms, which is the best? I have heard good things about drupal, is that the best? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steelmanronald06 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 The best is always your own. :-/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 CMS Made Simple. Easy to use/skin/expand but nice and useful straight out of the box. http://www.cmsmadesimple.org/ (a nod to AndyB for that one ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Azu Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 There is no "best". It's a matter of preference. If you could give us specific details about what kind of CMS you are looking for, maybe we can find one that will suit your needs good.

jcombs_31 Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I think most bloggers seem to use wordpress. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Liquid Fire Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 I second "build your own". It may take longer in the beginning, but if you can do it, it will be the best CMS for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redbullmarky Posted September 7, 2007 Share Posted September 7, 2007 i sort of agree about rolling your own. however - and this is no reflection on tj71587 - but the original question "which is the best" would imply not enough practical experience with existing CMS's. Once you've played with a few, which you'd ideally need to before you can understand them properly to write your own, then you'd be able to answer that question (or give a good opinion) yourself. give some a go here: http://www.opensourcecms.com/ - i'd recommend staying well away from drupal to start with as it comes with a hefty learning curve for people new to CMS's. CMS Made Simple as I suggested will a) be good to learn the basics and b) more than enough for simple sites. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tippy_102 Posted September 8, 2007 Share Posted September 8, 2007 For me, "the best" right now is TYPOlight: http://www.typolight.org/index.html The most popular seem to be Joomla and Drupal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
