    I think you should try with Drupal.

    Yes Drupal is okay. You can also play with Wordpress. BUT JOOMLA, its a no no. It has lots of security holes.

    Joomla is good , but if your website will grow so much you will work so much .
    Typo3 has no so much modules and components as Joomla .

    I recommend Joomla for small website which has a sitemap no more than 3 levels .

    As a rule, pick the tool that works best for what you want your site to do.

    The two platforms that have the MOST plugins to get you up and going FAST are Joomla and WordPress, hands down. Other platforms may be "better", more powerful, etc., but you must always factor in your time frame requirements as well as site features and budget. With Joomla and WordPress you can get a functional site up and going pretty quickly because you can add functionality so fast.

    Joomla's security issues are well-documented, and typically addressed fairly quickly by the developers. Also, remember, a LOT of problems are caused by webmasters and site owners who do not secure their directories properly, are running out-of-date versions, etc. The same can be said about almost any platform. ;)

    Typo3... I briefly read some API documents, and read what other web developers had to say about it at a different cyber-wateringhole. One comment that stood out was, "Typo3 makes my brain bleed." Supposedly (again just based on what I've read posted by other developers), Typo3 is more complex than Drupal, and don't expect to get a site up and running quickly with it.

    Again, choose the solution that best meets all of your important requirements, but Joomla and WordPress have the largest repositories of extensions. Be prepared to put in some work, no matter what platform you choose, and you should be OK.

    Thx for all replys...
    ... especially Bratzilla for realy good analyse and usable comment.

    I notice, just like you said, typo3 is not so widespread like joomla. But for bigger business sites that don't need so much "makeup" I think it's better typo3 then joomla or wordpress or drupal? :)

    Enterprise-level usage is potentially a VERY different situation than, say, the typical web site. :)

    For this type of website, you should have some specific questions about a CMS that is being evaluated. These questions may include, for example:

    How does this CMS scale? How "big" can it get before you start running into performance issues?
    Is security a priority with the CMS developers?
    Will the platform be interfaced with an intranet?
    What are the database types supported?
    Will an IT team have primary responsibility for creation and management, or will this task fall to a non-technical person or team?
    What is the learning curve required? (of course, dependent upon who specifically will have primary site creation and maintenance responsibilities)

    Just as importantly, look at the CMS community itself. Is it active? Do developers participate? Is the CMS team responsive to user concerns and issues? Does the project have history/longevity? Does it have a reasonable amount of extensions readily available (to speed up development)? I'd even recommend that you join the communities for those CMS platforms you are seriously considering and participate, even if it's just to post a list of questions (or maybe lurk and watch the action). Personally, I would NEVER consider a CMS that doesn't have a strong community and ongoing development.

    Once you do the analysis against your specific list of requirements, the right CMS will probably present itself :)

    And of course, be prepared for customizations as needed.

    You can use joomla, but look for security components like sh404sef. There are also paid components that are cheap.

    For a heavy traffic I think joomla will be a bit slow and security risks too IMO

    I have been using Joomla for over a year and have had no security issues. I have kept my versions about 90% up-to-date during that time.

    I would recommend Joomla if you want a simple and easy to use platform than looking at any other options. Few reasons for this are:
    * Standard website coding framework.
    * Easy Administrator
    * One of the largest open source support groups of developers
    * Best templating engines for business sites.

    I love Joomla!

    But If you have a really big website with a lot of visitors, you may need to add some extra security and keep a close eye on all 3rd party extensions. Don't just go for free ones. Many developers create free extensions just for advertisement purposes.

    Joomla is great, if you are worried about security use jsecure for better protection and joomlapack to make backups (always make backups).

    Personally I haven't met anybody having a security issues with Joomla yet.
