the Right CMS for Your Business

[jack91]

WordPress - WordPress is the most popular platform for CMS and powers more than half the CMS sites worldwide. The system is comprehensive and intuitive and every new version that has been released has been impactful. The developers' community contributes magnificently and there are innumerable free extensions with simplest interface. If you are seeking an uncomplicated CMS with powerful scaling capacity, WordPress CMS is the easiest to create with simple steps - create a page, add it to the menu, post something and your content is reflected on the frontend of the website.

 

Joomla - Joomla is user-friendly and offers multiple customization options though it is more complex than WordPress. Despite its rather complex framework, Joomla extension developers and community have contributed immensely smart solutions for common design problems which can't be found on WordPress. Joomla has innumerable extensions, plugins for modules and countless layouts that can be manipulated for highly standardized CMS website.

Drupal - Drupal is the ultimate platform for CMS development as developers can pull off any kind of magic trick on this platform without the need for custom coding that is often required on WordPress and Joomla. There are many ready-made solutions on Drupal and these can be enhanced with third party extensions. If you are after a heavy website that will have full-time administrators, then Drupal is the best platform.

Wordpress is also one of the most-breeched CMSs ever. It's insecurity is legendary and its poor seperate of content from framework makes it suckers choice where I work (when migrating from WP, we'll charge more since it's going to take a lot more time). Not to mention customisation is basically downloading the same templates everyone else uses...really customising templates can break the site when a plugin needs to be updated. 

 

Joomla has seen far better days and is quite long in the tooth, and while I respect Drupal greatly, it's a beast and it'll be harder to do development. 

 

If you want a more modern PHP-based CMS, look at Craft and ExpressionEngine 3, both of which have been build in a modern style in the past 2-3 years. Craft is from a plugin dev who thought he could do it better himself and has a very faithful following, while ExpressionEngine is one of the most secure CMSs ever (nearly 10 years and never been breeched) and has completely rewritten their code from the ground up (no more fudgey CodeIgniter code - even though they created it). Basically, the two groups are circling each other, gaining where the other is falling behind.

 

For those who balk at spending anything on a CMS, remember - putting it in place is one of the biggest costs. Want something out of the box and don't worry too much about securtity - WP is fine. If you do worry and want something very custom, then consider either of the last 2 instead of Drupal. The costs to Drupal development often go into the tens of thousands because it's a 800lb gorilla of a program. Better, I say, to go with the 650lb EE/Craft apes which would be far easier to customise and implement than to monkey around with WP. 

If you REALLY want custom, consider a nice Vue.js environment with one of the several Laravel-based CMS's out there -- but then do you want a cutting edge science experiment or more established apps that offer service and support? (another reason to spend a nickle and buy the cms)

 

Edit: one last thing -- it may be euro/north-ameri -centric to say, but I've never heard of Dimofinf CMS4. While their hosting services are well regarded, I did a google search for "Dimofinf CMS4" and found only 2 pages of results, with no comparisons or reviews to compare it to.
