What is the best CMS?

The Best CMS (Content Management System)

Well, on the internet, there are thousands of similar topics asking which is the best CMS (Content Management System). Since I have used almost all of them, my opinion is as follows:

WordPress

Good: I think it's very good. I used it for a couple of weeks, and I like its templates. Many people say it's the most recommended CMS for Google, but that's relative. It's easy to manage and doesn’t require much web knowledge to make it work.

Bad: For large projects, it lacks maturity. As the website grows, it requires plugins and modifications that are difficult to integrate. It's more suitable for blogs, as it falls short for professional sites.


Xoops

Good: It's the perfect CMS for block organization. The admin area is easy to use, and after a few hours of use, you get familiar with the system and can create a professional website in no time. It has hundreds of available modules and a wide variety of templates. It's constantly updated, and its support community is very active (at least in English).

Bad: The modules are outdated. Many of them are available but not compatible with new versions, and the developers seem not to intend to update them to match the latest system versions. Installation can be confusing because of the folder-moving process after installation, which many users find confusing.


Joomla

Good: According to many, it’s the best CMS, plus it has the largest support community compared to the others. It's easy to install, has tons of modules available, and a large selection of templates to choose from.

Bad: The admin panel is somewhat confusing, and it’s hard to get a website running quickly. Just like WordPress, it falls short for large projects that require many modules and varied content. It has received many complaints about security flaws (at one point, it was the most attacked CMS).


PHP Fusion

Good: It's one of the easiest CMSs to use and configure. The admin panel is understandable, making it easy to create a website in just a couple of hours. It has countless infusions (modules) for every need, and these infusions work independently of each other. The panels can be easily managed, and it comes with everything built-in: News, articles, forum, photo gallery, etc., offering you a complete (simple) website without needing to install extra infusions. The community is very active and efficient.

Bad: All its templates are similar, with little differentiation between them. The designs are outdated, and many modules are not updated for the latest versions of the system. It doesn’t offer a flat start URL like "www.mywebsite.com" but instead has a page like "www.mywebsite.com/index.php". You need to pay $35 to remove the PHP-Fusion link from the footer.


Drupal

Good: Its English community is very large, offering constant support for any questions about the system. It has countless modules, most of which are updated to be compatible with the latest version. It's in constant development, providing improvements in all areas. You can create a simple website or a massive one due to its wide range of options and modules. It allows you to do things that others can’t. Many say it’s the best of all and is very secure and stable.

Bad: It’s one of the hardest to master. The admin panel is somewhat confusing. Most modules depend on other modules. If you want to install module A, you need to install modules B, C, and H, and if you want to install module D, you need to install modules M, T, and J, which overloads queries and, consequently, the server.


Conclusion: There is no best CMS. The best one is the one that fits your needs and the website you are going to create. You will never find a definitive answer to this question because each person will have their opinion based on their experience. Try them out and draw your own conclusions.
