Content Management Solutions
Meet the CMS heavyweights!
WordPress
It has been a big year for WordPress. If there were still some lingering doubts about its potency as a full-fledged content management system, then the full support for custom taxonomies and custom post types in WordPress 3.0 core should have put them to rest. WordPress 3.1 took those leaps one step further, polishing custom taxonomies with multi-taxonomy query support, polishing custom post types with native template support for archives and feeds, and introducing features (like the “admin bar”) that make it easier to quickly edit and add content from the front end.
SilverStripe
Only last year in 2010 SilverStripe took home the NZ Open Source Award. The past year has huge growth in the SilverStripe project: the product has improved, the community in strengthening, and SilverStripe is being used to power more and more high profile websites. Oh yes it is also locally produced right here in Wellington.
I can recommend both of these software packages as they have a huge potential to power your website. Your website can be developed into a theme in either one of these Content Management Systems (CMS) without any limitations on your design or functionality.
