Re: [WSG] HELP WITH SETTING UP A CMS PROJECT
I've only been on this list for about 6 months or so, but foot has been placed firmly in mouth. Anyways, perhaps I should contribute something constructive. I think Joomla is bloated (though a very good CMS) and requires more of learning curve. Where as WordPress is a great all-around platform, particularly with the new version 3. Drupal is a great CMS, but again, probably too much bloat. I have been developing sites in Stacey http://staceyapp.com/ and playing with Perch http://grabaperch.com/ because they are lightweight and less clutter. Though, Stacey is probably not a great fit because it requires a bit more effort. I wonder how any of these CMS's work with screenreaders, given the long list of menus that aren't always used and heavy use of admin Javascript. Thanks for being an understanding group of individuals! -- Mark Host On 9/15/2010 12:30 PM, Raul Ferrer wrote: No worries, mate!
