What is the best CMS on the market?

Ber|Art · 07-31-2004, 12:59 AM

Hi, I received a question from a customer about what CMS he should choose for his business. Now I am curious what you think is the best CMS on the market today, and why do you think this?

Thx a lot

There is no best. There is most suitable for your needs.

mambos seems to be good. have been fidling with it. seems to be fast too!

yeah as already stated it depends on yur needs, however I do have experience with phpnuke and it seems it is riddled with security bugs which are not always updated when they are found in a timely fashion. Although I am sure other CMS's will have similar problems occassionally

I have seen some amazing phpnuke sites. Its amazing what you can do with it.

I am looking for some more reactions, can you please post your opinion? Thank you very much for your time

Typo3 is the best for complex sites
Mambo is the easiest and most user friendly

Found this article - http://www.phpbuilder.com/columns/zeidman20040716.php3

Basically, it says that creating your own CMS is the best option, and proceeds to outline what you need to consider when creating one. I tend to agree.

E107.

it's not even a contest once you try E107. It is so far beyond the rest, they seem pedantic in comparison.

I've just set up IRAQBUSH.COM using Geeklog and it was very simple. I took a look at opensourcecms.com and decided that Geeklog had exactly what I needed without any of the complicated frills that some of the others had. I also liked the simple templates.
