I'm going to be putting up a 3 column website where the left column will have a menu and the right column will also. I've never had the need to have 2 seperate menus so I'm a bit confused on how exactly to go about this. I thought Wordpress would be a good choice since the middle content could work as blog posts, but I'm unsure how I would get this to work..another CMS I thought about using is Website Baker. Does anyone know if what I want to do is possible with these 2 CMS's? Or can anyone suggest a CMS for me to use?
As mentioned by the others here, Joomla definitely has the facility to display multiple menus which you can position in different places within the page. The Joomla demo page demonstrates 3 menus on the left and one across the top, but you can easily have your second menu in the right-hand side column.
Joomla makes multiple menus and placement a breeze. If your second menu in Wordpress is very short you could hard code it into the template.
