Slide 1: Comparison of Open Source CMS Summary Before selecting any Content management System the primary question that strikes in mind is: Why to Use and Which one to Opt For?? Let us have a look at various popular open source content management systems and their comparison. Click here to view Article. Body: Overview of Content Management Systems What is a Content Management System? A Content Management System (CMS) is software for changing website content online. Usually changing, editing or archiving content such as text, pictures and in the good ones menus, navigation and page layouts. Why should one use a CMS? By using a CMS you can edit your web site anywhere, anytime, through your web browser. With a content management system, you can create interactive websites and communicate with your visitors through on-line forms, newsletters, blogs, forums or polls.
Slide 2: You can also add a shopping cart in your website and sell your products online. Brief info of Popular Open Source CMS Drupal: It is a powerful, developer- friendly tool for building complex sites. Like most powerful tools, it requires some expertise and experience to operate. But it is very difficult for non technical users to manage. Joomla: It offers middle ground where it is less complex than developer-oriented, Drupal and more complex than WordPress. It is also easy to extend at any level due to MVC Structure. WordPress: It began as an innovative, easy-to-use blogging platform. With an ever-increasing collection of themes, plug-ins and widgets, this CMS is widely used for other website formats also, but mostly for blogs. Comparison between Popular Open Source CMS  User friendliness Drupal: Requires the most technical expertise of the three CMSs. However, it also is capable of producing the most advanced sites. With each release, it is becoming easier to use. If you don’t want to hire someone to handle the site, or you don’t have technical background, it is not a good idea to select Drupal. Joomla: Though it is less complex than Drupal, it is more complex than WordPress. With a relatively lesser efforts of understanding Joomla’s structure and terminology, you can create fairly complex sites. Wordpress: Technical experience is not necessary; it’s intuitive and easy to get a simple site set up quickly.  Features Drupal: It is known for its powerful taxonomy and ability to tag, categorize and organize complex content. Designed to perform as a community platform, with strong social networking features. Joomla: Ease of use is a key benefit for experts and novices alike. It’s powerful enough for web developers or designers to efficiently build sites for clients; then, with minimal instruction, clients can take over the site management. Known for an extensive collection of themes, Joomla also has large number of ready to use extensions Wordpress: Very user-friendly with great support and tutorials, making it great for non-technical users to quickly deploy simple sites. But WordPress is not designed for complex website structures.  Versions/Security Drupal: TinyMCE or FCKEditor can be implemented to Drupal. Joomla: There are lots of versions. However, the most convenient and good among free editors is JCE developed specially for Joomla. Wordpress: Usually WordPress uses TinyMCE (not full version) and simple text editor.  Visual Editor Drupal: A core is stable. Bugs in demanded modules usually get fixed operatively.
Slide 3: Joomla: Everything is fine with the availability of new Joomla versions. Security is also on the high level, you can consider 1.5.8 and 1.6 versions as very stable and secure. Wordpress: Not extensive as mostly WordPress is used for simple websites.  Image Handling Drupal: Inserting pictures is not included in a base package. It is possible to solve this problem in several ways, thru editors. Joomla: It is ahead of other systems. There are 3 extension types (components, modules and mambots). And each type of extension can solve their types of tasks that actually allow you to add new functionality without changing the “core”. Also lots of extensions available. Wordpress: It is possible and convenient to add pictures to the editor in WordPress. It is possible to specify the file name and signature while loading at once. But still a bit difficult to manage.  Search Engine Optimization Support Drupal: SEO is by default available in Drupal. Joomla: SEO and Meta data handling is a default feature of Joomla. Wordpress: WordPress also allows to create SEO friendly URLs which brings better search engine results.
