My site is http://www.its.asia/ What kind of CMS should I use, should I use word press? I have 2 developers suggesting I use wordpress. But I want to do custom ads, emails, payment system for featured stuff. (Paypal would do) So. Should it be Just custom PHP? Custom PHP+wordpress CMS Word press CMS would do the job 100% Any suggestions and cost to alternatives? I have developers saying its around 100 or less for wordpress CMS (its like prebuilt) Some other PHP system prebuilt around that price or less too. Some a bit a higher. What's your suggestions? What type of CMS and costs/turn around. BTW 2 programmers say using Wordpress CMS its about 3 days turn around, is that true? for my site. what's your estimate See http://www.its.asia/ thanks
If your wanting a content management system you need a fairly good reason why not to use an off the shelf solution and simply have custom modules/ controls built for it. It will add a significant amount of cost for a full CMS to be created from scratch for you (if its going to be any good)
I did just that, using WP. But I am a little worry that WP might be "slow". Is that true, wp is slow to load. I know for a fact, that the facebook widgets, google adsense, and twitter stuff makes site very slow. Is WP the same thing?
Widgets, trackers etc all add to load time because they have to make calls to different servers, though you can make most quicker by using asynchronous calls. Wordpress as a CMS will be slower than having a static HTML site because each page is dynamically generated however with any decent CMS, a reasonable server and a sensible approach to caching this impact should be small enough to not make a significant difference to an end user.
