I have looked at and love the functionality of Light CMS (@ http://www.speaklight.com), but I don't want to pay their residual costs and I can't afford to have my business based on their technology. The amazing thing about Light CMS, you can integrate slideshows, lightbox photo galleries and many more technologies that are built into a feature rich CMS - not just text entry. Does anyone know of a system this powerful that can be installed on a Linux host like HostGator? Thanks in advance - please no spammy posts about Wordpress being the best CMS. Charles
Drupal is probably going to be the most secure and most flexible solution. I have seen drupal sites that have everything from forums, videos, social networking, and custom profiles on them. Because of the security issues that revolve around joomla, I recommend that you do not use it. Joomla has a lot of features, but its not very secure. If drupal is good enough for Yahoo, NASA, MTV (UK), The Onion, The BBC and Nokia - just to name a few. Then it should be good enough for your site.
Does it come the functionality I was talking about out of the box? Thank you for your replies. It reminds me i had seen a couple of those features before, but it was always when I was looking at themes or managed services. If I install Drupal myself, will it have lightbox/floatbox and other javascript library functionality out of the box? Also will it require a bunch more coding - or can it be inserted via menu driven CMS functions? Thank you very much. Links to resources that will answer my question are greatly appreciated also.
