Choosing an Open Source CMS -- Planning, Playing, and Page Views
There are a number of full featured open source content management systems out there. Content management systems (CMS) are used increasingly in lieu of more "traditionally" managed web pages, on various sites with diverse audiences and very different goals. They can be updated quickly, easily, and require very little (if any) knowledge of how the inner plumbing works.
There are, of course, proprietary CMS platforms. Many -- from individuals to businesses -- opt for open source alternatives. Cost is naturally a factor, but having used both closed and open CMS platforms, it's been my experience that the open alternatives offer better features, an increased ability to modify and customize easily, and behave with more consistency in different browsers than most of their closed counterparts.
Finding the right open CMS for your needs is the hardest part. But there are a few considerations and rules of thumb that can make this decision a little easier.
Looking for hosting services for specific OSS apps.
I'm looking for hosting services that pre-packaged & support the following apps:
- Mediawiki
- Drupal
- Joomla
- Alfresco
- Mambo
We're looking at providing our clients with a complete pre-packaged CMS solution (development + consulting + hosting) and am looking for the best possible alternatives out there...
Ideally, it would makes our lives much simpler if there is a single service provider that can provision servers with the above mentioned apps
Which one should I pick, Joomla, Mambo, Postnuke, Xoops?
I dont want to spend all day on each one to find out with one is the best. Which one is the most user friendly and has skins so I can match it up with my other sites?
