Best CMS for news website : Not Joomla and wordpress

I am looking for best CMS for news website.

Please don't mention Joomla and wordpress which I don't like for news website.

Are there any other CMS for news site apart from Joomla (with ijoomla) or Wordpress?

I appreciate your help.

thanks

 

The best way is buy scripts ( CMS ) which is dedicated to your site. Find somenone in this forum who build commercial CMS and tell him what you relly want in yous site. This CMS will be faster and better. When some CMS is for everythink ( Joomla, WP) it have to much option that you never use....

 

I think Drupal is quite good.

You can try drupal or easycms. Drupal is one of the best CMSs in market.

 

I suggest WordPress

 

I said not to recommend Wordpress or Joomla.

I have quite a few WP powered sites.

e.g. www.thehostingblog.com , www.web-hosting-news.com

I don't like WP and Joomla for news site.

Do other big news sites use them?

Like telegraph.co.uk , bbc.co.uk . Do they use those blog scripts?

I like to know other scripts than wordpress or Joomla.

Do not discuss WP or Joomla (ijoomla magazine) here.

Anyone used opencms ?

 

I recommend WordPress LOL LOL

 

WP is for novice. Be human. Can read english?? Don't spoil other's threads. OK??????

Do not discuss WP or Joomla (ijoomla magazine) here.

Get the WP--ck out of here.

 

Drupal and e107. But may be Drupal ultimately , ultimately you discover nothing beats it. Not even any commercial solution, unless its drupal's own commercial wing Aqua

See news site built easily but very differently from each other, all using drupal
http://esciencenews.com/ - science news
http://sparkleshelf.com/ - fashion news
and at least a dozen big others like mtv, onion etc

You can follow the story how these were built using drupal at

Hi ryukenden,

Have you tried Plone?
http://www.insmallsteps.com/

Hope the above site helps.

 

Plone is not php based and more or less 'easy' like drupal, running it is more resource intensive also.
But yes, those who can manage it and knows languages other than php or has enough time to learn non-php things can find it useful. You will need python and zope and you can find the start-point here http://plone.org/documentation/how-to/the-novice-steps-from-www-plone-org-to-mysite-running-plone

 

I look at it. Installation is a bit complicated and it ask to install python again even though my hosting provider got python itself.

 

if you know how to configure properly drupal is the best. for news site
http://www.theonion.com/content/index
it is very stable cms handle high traffics without database problems. you can check traffic rank for above site.
drupal is good for SEO.

let me know if you want any drupal related services

 

@ryukenden - are you comfortable with python? Personally I feel php a lot easier.

 

Yes, Drupal looks great.

I am starting with

science news headlines .com

I have no idea about python and I know a bit about PHP.

 

Try to use PHP-Fusion. Its lightweight cms by Digitanium.

 

Dude whether you like it or not, wordpress is the best for news related sites. If you choose a magazine theme, something similar to the one I'm using then wordpress will be your dream cms!

Anyway, apart from that i think drupal is quite good.

 

Any example BIG site powered by php-fusion????

 

Hello, You can try http://e107.org Thanks
