Help choosing a content management system?
Ok, I’ve got my hosting set up, and I’ve got my design put together in photoshop -and I was trying to figure out how to make a forum and blog to go along with it.
I found content management systems online that are free (after a lot of digging around on the web), but I was wondering which to choose. They all seem to have good reviews, but I can’t tell which one would be easiest for me.
I’ve looked at Joomla, Mambo, Drupal, and Wordpress. Are there more, or are these my best options? I don’t know much about PHP, so is this going to be hard for me to set up? And which one would be easiest for me to keep my design? Also, are these the best ways to get a forum and blog, or is there an easier way? (I don’t want some group online service like flikr or something -I want my own site).
I’m not exactly a tech wiz, but I can follow online tutorials pretty well. Any ideas on which to go with would be appreciated.
Joomla is fairly easy, and has the largest and cleanest online help resources.
I use CMS made simple for most projects, mainly because it’s easier on design, and easier to integrate your design into. The help resources are there, just as with Joomla, but they’re a little hard to stomach (but they are sufficient). The set up is also easier with CMS made simple, and the overall file size is smaller. (size of the whole system).
As far as it being your best option -yes, I think it would be.
