I don't know if I'm writing in the correct category or not, but here I go:

I just want to get a feel for Content Management Systems (CMS) that are Web 2.0 compliant and whose using what and who would suggest what?

At the moment I'm using Joomla 1.0 (have not had a look at Joomla 1.5 yet), but I'm on the hunt for something that can be used to sub-brand a web site. By that I mean, have multiple templates for various projects or campaigns. A great example of this would be wiliam dot com dot au - please have a look and notice how the different sections of their web site can have different wall papers.

=)

um what does 'web 2.0 compliant' even mean??? gradients and beta buttons galore?

i'm also confused as to what a cms has anything to do with the flash backgrounds used on that website.

Did you just say 'Web 2.0 compliant'. A marketing puke somewhere is laughing his ass off.

Web 2.0 is a figment of your imagination.

RaelRode · 23-04-2008, 15:18

Web 2.0 is like the root of -11, imaginary.

What the friggin hell is "Web 2.0 Compliant"? Is everything I know only "Web 1.0 Compliant" because I started working on the web 10 years ago?

Oh and for CMS wise, google "Modx CMS"... probably what you're after... its full of all the ajax mod-cons.

Okay sorry - how about Web Standards compliant?? Sheesh. What I mean is that it complies (at least somewhat) with W3C web standards...

Thanks Rustybones, I'll have a look

peter0379 · 23-04-2008, 21:19

have you used a cms system iBlastoff? Have you heard about the capabilities of multiple templates within a cms system?

foolfodder · 24-04-2008, 03:53

CMS Made Simple allows you to specify a template per page.

arsholdings · 28-04-2008, 21:52

My recommendation is to go web 3.0 compliant. The cms blows you when you make updates, lol.

*How about no.*

I would look at Hot Banana or Clickability. I like Hot Banana the best, but, its pretty expensive.

IMO I think these systems have to go away all together. We need a better build platform so we dont have to map a CMS afterward. Why cant it be integrated right into the build platform so you dont have to map? The problem is Peter, that even if you give them a great CMS if they make any larger changes to their site you have to get the system remapped.....and that takes time and money....and wastes your time.

What are you talking about? Don't have to map? You have lost me.
