Hello, I am planning to create a website for programmers. Basically it will have code snippets, applications, samples, demos, videos, etc. please suggest me a CMS for my site. Thanks
I vote Joomla All the way! Lots of "plugins" and lots of support and coders out there.. But I must see what drupal is like .. never seen it!
good choice in my opinion i tried joomla but could never get into it i am a drupal man now. Still kind of new to the platform but you can check out my sites in my signature they are just some simple drupal builds but i haven't focused on them much due to time constraints and other projects. good luck with the new site!
Wordpress is a publishing platform and good for personal use. It is simple and nice, but that's all. If you want a CMS for a full website, than Joomla is for you. Joomla is not that simple as Wordpress, but after a few weeks you will learn everything you need to run your site. Drupal is nice too, but I have no personal experience with this CMS. AND, you can never find great templates for Drupal. For Joomla you can find thousands.
Yeah I agree with you. There is no big amount of nice templates for Drupal. But found many nice templates for Joomla.
drupal is way to go if you know how to use it, for me, it takes days to entirely understand it. and you won't find any 'web 2.0' templates for this cms but you can always make ur own. overall its a solid cms. one of the best. for other cms seekers out there, there are still many other cms you should try if you had the time. I guarantee some of them should fit you needs. I went to http://www.opensourcecms.com and found some interesting candidates for my next sites: websitebaker, Jupiter, and CMSmadesimple. just my 2 cents
Not surprised. Most people say Joomla and that is the case as it is a bit easier to get started with. Here is a comparison of the two on features (quoted from http://mydrupal.com/joomla-versus-drupal) Drupal * Rock solid & high quality platform * Real multi-site-feature (only one installation for several sites) * Any Kind of user groups & user permissions, OpenId compliant in Version 6 * Can run membership and community sites, not only CMS etc * Powerful templating system. Any XHTML or CSS template can be easily converted to Drupal. * Drupal needs a little time investment to realize all the huge possibilities of Drupal * Clear, high quality code and API (easy to integrate with other solutions etc) * Flexibility and no known limitations * Many high profile sites use Drupal (e.g.: MTV UK, BBC, the Onion, Nasa, Greenpeace UK, New york observer. ) Joomla * If you are not techy its good to start * Easy install & setup with your mouse * Easy learning curve * Cannot integrate other scripts etc. to your site * Generally you cannot create high-end sites, without investing huge amount * No SEO out of the box, URLs are not search engine friendly. * Server resources utilization is more compared to drupal * Only one site per installation * No Single Log-in to several sites * No User groups & permissions * More intuitive administration user interface * Some polished modules for things like calendars, polls, etc. * Modules cost you money Drupal has a bit higher learning curve, but the advantage is huge. I started off with Joomla and later shifted to Drupal, and I appreciate both for its strengths. I have created free 35+ video tutorials for any one to easily get started with Drupal at http://www.seoecom.com/cms
SubDreamer is brilliant I used that a while back. You have to pay for it, but it is very powerful and easy to install/use.
