I am a web design, i am not a programmer.... I need to give ability to my client to edit there sites by there self by adding CMS to there sites... Please suggest me a simple to use CMS... Like... when i slice down any sites and i add editable tags to the html which can be simply editable from Admin Panel.. Any CMS available for me... Ideally Opensource and FREE!
Joomla, because if its for a client and they want new features, they can just add new mambots, modules and components and its very easy to use. If they prefer a blog style of things, go with wordpress. It basically depends on what your client wants. I just think Wordpress and Joomla are the best two out there, although there are money which do compare well.
if u looking for a simple CMS, then Wordpress or Drupal.. but if you want more functions and latest upgrades with good community support then Joomla is the best.
Joomla is great because you can add modules/widgets very easily with one click installs. Same goes for larger addons like entire site components and bots. At first Joomla! is a bit confusing, but once you learn the basics or somebody teaches you how to use it, it is very simple and has a great feel to it. I just wrote a little post on my blog about how to set up Joomla as a simple blog. The link is in my signature. =] Good luck.
NO... actully its that what you suggest a person with not much knowledge of PHP. What i want is to convert any of my html design to CMS system....
Rage, Joomla is very self explaining if it says all content items it shows all content items, you can even add more user friendly editors for your client, after a site is created with joomla i basically just go through 1-2(max) hours to teach them the basics, they dont have to know where to edit the css and where to edit the admin modules, they usually just basically manage1-3 components and the content after the site has been completed Its like riding a bike
If you want something simple, then wordpress. If you want something very customizing and much better than wordpress then take joomla.
i prefer wordpress because you can find anything you want in its community,from SEO plugins to almost anything...
If you are happy jumping through hoops then Joomla is great but it has become very bloated. As for me I use wordpress and build two or three content management sites a week for clients using it. The main reason is I can teach them how to use it in a very short time online. Joomla is just not that easy to teach an absolute novice. I agree with JAG however the latest few releases make it a very good CMS. Q
