Hi all
CMS
WARNING
I keep going around in circles trying to work out what CMS is best for me to use, I'm therefore hoping I can get some general feedback and ideas on a few products I am looking at.
Firstly I am looking for a CMS not for a community based site (such as content is made up of forums news etc) but rather an information and e-commerce site. There is some 1400+ static pages that just contain information, pictures etc, also a set of directories, such as classifieds (and various other similar structured smaller databases), business details (like a yellow pages type thing) and we are about to implement OsCommerce as our e-commerce solution (I prefer OsC as I have used this on many other sites too and I know how this works and have aso developed my own loaded version that specifically meets my needs).
The site will still use forums, news etc, but these are not the core purpose of the site.
Also the content will only be managed by us as the owners of the site plus a few small editors for specific areas - so very few content editors.
The products I am looking at thus far include (in no particular order)
- Mambo
- Plone
- Typo3
Now I am not a PHP or mysql guru, but I have been using both now (via OsC setups) for a little over two years so I have some knowledge and I am comfortable at adding in hacks, modules, add-ons etc as long as they come with instructions.
So anyway that’s my dilemma, what to use, which I suppose many others have the same issue too, but hopefully with the above info some can help me decide or even point em towards something I have not yet considered.
Thanks
Greg
