    Thanks for the recommendation of Textpattern. I have been converting one of my older sites with it. Textpattern makes it very easy to modify templates. Their forum is very helpful with quick responses.

    Drupal has plenty of mods. There aren't so many in the basic install, to help maximize performance, but there are plenty for download and install at Drupal.org. It's also set up with pretty clean hooks in so developing mods is easier than on some, so far as I understand it.

    Drupal has weaknesses but I would not rate lack of modules as one of them. You can see the list at the official Drupal site.

    Joomla, without question.

    I am a web designer, and I use Joomla for every single client now. Its possible to get it to look like anything you need, and the scope of add-ins is, well, breathtaking!

    Wordpress and Drupal make pretty good backend systems for a CMS, given that they both have excellent caching mechanisms, UI abstraction and a very good plugin architecture.

    Hello,

    I have been down this road a few months ago.

    I tried most as they are available via Fantastico.

    I was looking for an easy to use website builder. Something that was easy to seo, had a ton of plugins and themes and so on.

    Joomla and Drupal I found you need a degree to work out mind you I am experienced with web design and know my way around php but I like simplicity. Then I came across wordpress and wow I fell in love instantly.

    You can build pages in seconds there are plugins for SEO, widgets, themes, Google sitemaps, a word counter which is important and so on. I now have everything I need to build a site and each time I build a site I upload the complete folder.

    All of my sites in the near future I will be building them with wordpress. If you have Fantastico you can install Joomla, Drupal and a few others and compare.

    Hope this helps.

    Joe





    The best system I found
