New site ideas

Looking at moving to a Linux hosted CMS site

joomla is looking good at this point in time, anyone use it?

Any other suggestions my current site is just to slow running a ASP.NET framework

I have noticed a lot of people use wordpress but it just doesn't feel like a business website platform but more just a blogging platform.

But people obviously use it for a good reason, might have a deeper look into it.

Joomla is a pretty good platform however the best CMS would depend on your needs. For example nothing bits wordpress ease of use. If you don't care about complexity of administrative interface and you have a lot of content you probably should take a look at Drupal.

The one great thing about Drupal is that the plugins (modules) are always free because that's how drupal community works. Joomla on the other hand requires you to spend some cash for more advance modules.

Hello,

I use joomla for my website. I really enjoy it and there are a ton of free modules available along with themes. I have to say I am very happy with it.

One thing that I learned is that no matter what theme to pick or module there is always some customization that you have to do. I have done alot to my theme even though it doesnt look like alot right now. Recently did a reinstall to fix some problems and lost my testimonials (darn it!).

If you do use joomla there is one module that is almost a must-have. Its called "Web Fonts". You install it and then grab fonts from google and you can change any font in any page/module to what you like. It made things ALOT easier.

I did try wordpress but I like joomla more because it seems there is more you can do with it. Perhaps that is just me. I dont know.

Im using a heavily customized theme called "light-breeze blue". Ive added positions and moved some around to get the look I wanted.

I am looking at Drupal also, I don't mind having a complex interface to work with, just means I can change more.

Shall take a look at the module thanks
