Attack of the web standards CMS Solutions
I’ve been playing around with various CMS’s to customize website around lately. Even though it base is in blogging I like Wordpress the best so far. I just wish it was a bit faster, like lightpress. Better database abstraction would make a WORLD of difference.
I especially like the template system in Wordpress (probably because I’ve spent time to understand it.) Its my choice for personal site or sites with less than say 25-50 pages…but 50 is pushing it. However, lightpress is making great progress and integrating many new features by the day. I will keep my eye out.
As for larger, more business based CMS’s I am exploring Mambo type systems, specifically Joomla. It looks decent, the performance looks decent and there seems to be a big support community. I just really don’t like their templating engine. Of course my initial preference was a web standards based XHTML/CSS CMS template system. Joomla claims to be moving in that direction. Of course that has brought me to solutions such as PMachine too. Even though it looks like a great solution I would like to do more exploration with it and review various free alternatives.
Wordpress is in (perhaps lightpress too), we’ll see what the other solution will be to complete the package…stay tuned.
