One of the biggest questions when building a website is “What is the best content management system?” The answer isn’t always so easy. While there are arguments for WordPress, Joomla, and a host of other options, as well as custom builds, it’s really going to depend on your client’s needs. Here, we evaluate a few of the most popular CMS solutions: WordPress and Joomla. Wordpress has been around for a while, which makes it an open-source favorite due to user-friendliness and routine security enhancements. There are many developers for plug-ins, which are updated frequently, so there’s also good flexibility in terms of customization. In terms of design, WordPress lends itself to being more simple or minimal, while the platform also makes it easy to implement effective SEO on your site. WordPress is ideal when there is a specific purpose in mind – for example, for clients who have blogs, or content driven sites. MSNBC is an example. Joomla on the other hand, offers design versatility and freedom and is a bit more intuitive than WordPress, making it ideal for complex sites. The Joomla platform can be a bit tricky when it comes to implementing SEO, but the system has a growing community of developers who are dedicated to improvements and innovations. Joomla is a good fit for clients who have static, corporate or intranet sites. Ebay is an example.
