Hi, I was planning to rebuild my site and wondering what would be better solution here, to use some kind of CMS like worpdress or joomla for my project or simply use static HTML pages like I do now. As for static HTML, it is hard to update sometimes, but as I use 3 languages,and planning to add more in the future - I am not sure if it is a good idea to create new CMS for each new language?
I'd also go with a CMS over static HTML, because it's a lot easier to update the web pages than to always go into your HTML and manually change code and re-upload all the time... So in your case, if you update often, I'd suggest you get a good CMS too!
if you have the website only to display the same information all the time just use static HTML if you want to be able to add new information quick and easy you need to use CMS
HTML creates web site structure and CSS use its make stylish and attractive. WordPress is an excellent open source web publishing system or content management system (CMS). Your will install this inside your control panel hosting and is typically installed with the press of a button in Fantastic or with something like Simple Scripts. Currently WordPress is one of the most popular web blogging software.
Content management systems always are the better option than using static HTML which is hard to develop after lot of working. CMS like wordpress and joomla are so easy to use with little knowledge about languages.
Go with CMS and i prefer Drupal. There are lots of benefits to using drupal, once you use it you will be in love with it.
The most popular CMS (Content Management System) on the webs today is WordPress making website creation very simple.

You might want to consider a middle-ground. There's what's called a "poor man's CMS" which provides many of the same functions as a CMS except that the content for each page is edited as a static file. In some ways you can end up with a 'best of both worlds' scenario as you've still got raw control over your content, you can still easily reskin the site and have a theming system, and you can do all sorts of fancy things like 'one index.php to rule them all'. It also keeps your back-end code simple enough you can belt out your own system in a day. If you're gun-shy of a full CMS, or just think the off the shelf answers are all crap thanks to them shoving idiotic BS markup down your throat proving the people behind systems like turdpress or boomla have no business writing HTML or CSS in the first place, it's a good answer. Use just enough PHP (or language of choice) to simplify the job of hooking together all the stuff that should be automated, while still maintaining the low-level control.
You should go with CMS as you can easily manage content and if you are planning to get site on different languages then now days every CMS provides multiple language support. But with HTML you can't even do that. So my suggestion go with CMS.
A CMS can take away lots of headaches that come with building your own pages by scratch. Also, a CMS should have Valid HTML and CSS.
I'd definitely go with a CMS. I orginally built one of my early sites using just static HTML pages and found it to be a real hassle to maintain. I converted the site over to WordPress last year and it was one of the best decisions I've made!
According to your requirement, cms is the best option for your website. You will find various plugins which will solve your multi language problem. CMS will save your efforts and time.
