tibberous Posted December 20, 2007 Share Posted December 20, 2007 I am almost done with my latest website. I was going to write it in Joomla, but decided against it and wrote my own CMS system for it. It is really good - it uses a mix of flat files and tables, and already has a ton of features. The best thing about it is that it is really light-weight. Right now it is perfect for my website, but I was thinking about cleaning it up and turning it into a full fledged CMS. Does this sound cool, or are there enough CMS'es? Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/82602-if-i-made-a-cms-would-you-use-it/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

trq Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 I voted, I don't use CMS's, though thats not all the truth. I use a framework to build my own CMS as per client specs. Most of these pre built CMS's require too much customization.

The Little Guy Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 would this be something like Web-FTP? If it is, then I don't use them. If it is not, I still don't think I use them.

redbullmarky Posted December 21, 2007 Share Posted December 21, 2007 the problem with CMS's (as thorpe sort of touches on) is they're all overblown and try and be too "one-fits-all". I've not found one CMS that: - makes complete logical sense to the end user - hiding technical stuff away if needs be, displaying sitemap/tree as expected, etc - is also easy to customise and adapt. sure, all of them have a handful of plugins, themes, etc, but the API's for many is vast and over complex. - is also fast - easily adaptable for non-content driven sites - social network, commerce, etc unless it fits all of the above, i wont look at it for anything other than research purposes. so i'm with teng here for now - i roll my own, and its generally more like a framework with a small CMS element than a fully blown CMS.

wolfrat Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 Well, I prefer to code all my own stuff, as I like to know exactly what is happening and why it is happening. Although I know that a lot of less experienced people that want their own websites are always on the lookout for good cmses, so there is definitely a market for your cms Link to comment https://forums.phpfreaks.com/topic/82602-if-i-made-a-cms-would-you-use-it/#findComment-422421 Share on other sites More sharing options...
