Experiments with CMS

I’ve been experimenting with CMS platforms. Following in the footsteps of the great scientists of the world (or crazed experimenters, depending on your outlook), I’ve been experimenting mostly on my own self.
I just redesigned my website on a Joomla platform.
If I looked crazed when you see me out in web design circles here in Nevada, well, I just might be. Building in Joomla can be a terrific headache, I’ll tell you that, even after you figure out all its esoteric design code.

There’s a lot of good about Joomla and I’ll be recommending it to some of my clients. Maybe that’s more of my delirium speaking! But Joomla’s a boon to small business owners who want to quickly grow the content on their sites.
It’s got a nice admin side to it, so it works for businesses that want multiple people uploading information; and that’s all controllable, too, so a Joomla site is not a fragile or easily breakable site.
Still, it’s just one of the CMS tools I’m liking these days. Another favorite of mine: Adobe Contribute.
