CMS

[theknight]

Hi,

I am looking to build a custom CMS system and I was wondering what the best way in doing this is? Should I use a framework (if so which one) or something like Joomla.

Cheers.

Joomla is a CMS. Were to use it, you would not be building a CMS, but using one.

Using a framework will save you a lot of coding time, but has the drawback of making bugs hard to locate and get fixed. Plus if you fix it, the framework devs fix may be different. Zend Framework is my framework of choice, other than my own framework 😉

A CMS is a pretty easy thing to build, the hardest part is figuring out how you want to do it and how extensive you want it to be.

Is there any specific reason for you to build your own CMS? If there is no such reason I recommend that you use one that is already available such as Joomla or Drupal.
