Content Management Systems Research

March 15th, 2008

For the Ocean Addict website I have been looking into open source solutions to creating a form of CMS to link together the main features now wanted for the site. An obvious choice might be something like Joomla! or Drupal but we have already got together the blog frontpage and a store, so instead the site is heading for WordPress. I’ve heard of WP being used before as a CMS, it is known for its flexibility but until now I have never considered using it as anything more as a blog.

An excellent page bringing together a whole range of resources to do just this can be found at:

Before now I have experimented with the nextgen gallery wordpress system and the wordpress simple forum.
