What are the advantages and disadvantages of a CMS?

Which ones are the best to use?

:smokin:
 


Not sure if serious ... but if seriious, check OpenSourceCMS.org for demos and reviews of virtually every platform out there. If this ties into your post about an online magazine, the answer to your questions (pretty much all of them) is "WordPress."

Advantages
• menu and other navigation updates automatically
• ability to have visitors comment and otherwise interact
• ability to have multiple writers and different access rules for different users
• ability to reuse design components more easily and propagate changes sitewide.
Disadvantages
• more vulnerable and must keep up with security fixes
• uses more server resources
• more complex to run and manage.
 
Thanks to you guys I will check out that site and learn a bit more. I have a couple of websites That I may want to use CMS for so that's what I am asking because I've heard that its the way to go usually i just upload my files directly to the servers or my hosting company and wooahla. But i am looking into this.
 
Joomla CMS is best to customize and integration for programming and easy to use and also time consuming content management system.
 
There is no "best CMS"! It really depends on the requirements. Some examples:

Blog -> Wordpress, ...
Shop -> Magento, xtCommerce, ...
Big Website -> Joomla, ...

However, the main advantage of a CMS is that you don't need any skills in html, css, php, mysql to style your content or store it in a database. But, for simple websites its a bit overkill to use a CMS like Joomla since you'll need to learn how it works. Imho, it's not a out of the box solution.

If you have a website with static content (like the content stays the same for several weeks) then you don't really need a CMS. So, make sure what you really want to do and then think about the best possible solution.
 
agree, and has a lot of components
