I need a content management script for my website but I'm not sure where to start. First, I don't want to have to completely redesign my site, I just want there to be a simple easy way to post a list of links with descriptions, and photos into the template I already have designed. Go to http://www.thunderfap.com/free-samples.htm to see how my list looks now. I need something that will keep the same general feel of this list format with photos.
As far as I know that will not be possible to use CMS for just a list. I would suggest a redesign...its worth the time to use a CMS
Joomla is probably the best out there. But you need to spend time learning how to tweak it, to suit your needs.
I found Joomla to be excellent and relatively easy to setup (depending on your host provider), but beware, if you are not tech savy and want 3rd party add-ons etc, expect to spend quite some time on their forums. You will, however, come out with a top notch CMS for $0. Cheers, Prophet
Drupal is better than Joomla in my opinion. You can create customized lists of pages (nodes) with the views module.
Guys when you talk of Joomla not good for a newbie, are you referring to newbie in general or newbie to CMS's?
first is was Mambo and now its Joomla... Try it...Very easy to learn....Ebook available with me if interested to learn a step by step guide with photos...Pm me
If natural search traffic is important to you, Drupal should be number one choice, followed by Wordpress.
I like Drupal better than Joomla. I installed both and ended up going with Drupal. Try them both and set up a couple of pages, then decide what you like best.
I would go for Drupal too, it really is a matter of opinion, but I've found Drupal works better for customizing and is pretty secure.
