Open Source Content Mgt Systems

CMS's have a wide range of applications

• Simple static website • Simple personal homepage • Company website • Dating website • Orkut-like website

 Basically, with most of the popular CMS', you really can make any type of website you want !! 

Why are open source CMS’ becoming so popular

 

 Cost is naturally a factor,  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 Many publishers are switching to free, open-source content management systems from expensive proprietary ones.

A lot of seemingly ‘simple’ sites are also using a CMS in their back-endSo that they are ready when the content

becomes voluminous and complex !

This is resulting in a surge in interest in this area. Job opportunities are also on the rise

Joomla, Drupal and Word Press searches are soaring !

Wait a minute, isn’t this open source ?

But open source is mainstream today Google has not one but two open-source operating

systems: Android and Chrome OS. 

Apache remains hugely popular among web servers.   Red Hat is a successful public company posting

strong financial results with its business model of services and support for open-source software. 

Firefox is taking away market share from Internet Explorer every month. The list can go on…

Each CMS has its own advantages and part of the job lies in choosing one of them

  Joomla, for instance, installs and manages modules in a very visual, "friendly" manner.

Drupal tends to require more "hands-on" work with deploying modules. A site function might take minutes to roll out, or significantly longer.

WordPress has historically been a blogging platform, but there are a number of features and plugins that invite further visitor interaction
