hello im gav and im here i am starting to sort out a website for my band which is a metal band and wondered which was the best cms i want the layout pritty much the same as http://nightwish.com/en/news/ well with out the shop banners on the right will need gigs calender and music players where the shop banners are later on will need to to have a shop once we get ower first album recorded thanks in advance
Well their website was created by http://www.synatic.net/. But I would recommend to test Wordpress or site2you.com
Alot of people use wordpress because it's probably the easiest one to use. Also has the most free templates so that's probably the way to go. If you want more functionality then perhaps joomla or drupal might be right for you but wordpress would be the easiest. Good luck
Wordpress is the best i ever saw. Joomla is very critical to use but it can handle a lot of data. For blogging and community wordpress should be the first choice.
It also depends on how much time you want to spend learning a cms ... wordpress isn't necessarily the best, but it will certainly be the quickest way to do it.
you can try with wordpress and see if it meets your requirement and future demands. if not you can go for customized wp with developers
although there are free templates available i want to have something unique as its for a band website and it important to look right
you should have programmed by yourself or by others in the templates to look as unique. I suggest to use paid templates.
I'm an avid promoter of wordpress. Excellent script, I've worked with it a lot in the past 2 years (I am a professional wordpress theme designer) and it doesn't cease to amaze me. I've recommended it to all my clients, even if they don't run blogs and everyone has been super pleased with it.
yes that's right. we can use wordpress if we just need a simple site and don't have more time to learn about cms joomla is the great cms if you need to get pro site and complete but drupal more strong to your security other all cms
I would go with Joomla and virtuemart plug in for the shopping cart. You may also try to integrate Wordpress with OScommerce.
I would personally and blindly suggest you to try wordpress. The other options are: 1. Wordpress 2. Joomla 3. Drupal 4. mambo and many more, its all about your choices. If you are not a coder or techie - go for wordpress. a lil bit of techie, you might love joomla. in case you really want to take advantage of drupal to the best, you need to been a good coder. Drupal is great too.. cheers Josh
