Ask YC: Opinions on using a CMS like Joomla?
2 points by rjett on June 26, 2008 | hide | past | favorite | 1 comment
I am about to begin building the back end of my site. What has been your experience with/ is your opinion about using a CMS such as Joomla to provide a framework for doing so?



Don't.

If you're going to use any CMS for a framework for your site, use Drupal or something of the sort, but not Joomla.

I've had experience with Joomla for years (and Mambo before the fork.) It's powerful, but to a fault: it's large, bloated, and has too many features that you don't need.
