I'm trying to do some research on what would be a platform for the best product review site. The ideas I've come up with are: Wordpress (not ideal imo) Joomla (I don't have a lot of experience but have seen others) ... I don't know of anything else. Basically I acquired a domain name that is perfect for a specific niche of product reviews and I want to develop a site for it. I haven't done a site focused on product reviews before, so if you can offer any ideas I'd greatly appreciate it.
Take a look at All Enthusiast's ReviewPost. It might have the features you want. --- add --- http://forums.digitalpoint.com/showpost.php?p=8919934&postcount=2 Jezz also recommended jReviews for Joomla. http://www.reviewsforjoomla.com/
I don't know so much but I've seen Dolphin is pretty amazing, it might be a bit 'overkill' but, its free and pretty amazing for anything. I'm still on the wordpress routine, got it down pat
Joomla is one of the most robust CMS options I've ever seen, and it's widely supported, has a great community of people willing to help you, and provides plenty of themes and extensions that you are welcome to customize. Did I mention it's free?
Hmmm, lots of different responses. It seems like there is no clear winner. What about SEO wise? That's going to be one of the most important aspects as I believe most of my traffic will come from search.
I've had a lot of success with Drupal and the SEO related modules they have. There's nodewords, global redirect, SE Friendly URls, Pingomatic is in the core, sitemap generator and more.
