asked on

joomla & cms - opinions?

I'm working with a designer for a non-profit's site.  That means great design but the staff who will update the site will have no experience (no HTML skills, etc.).  If the designer uses a great CSS, the coding of the pages could be fairly simple.  I'm considering recommending Joomla.  Any opinions or recommendations for a low-expense (it's a non-profit)  content management system that is easy for the newbie to keep up?  We can expect turn-over in the staff, so training an individual isn't really feasible.

Hello,

It's true Joomla is very good solution. You could devellop your own components easly even a large extensions directory.

Youd need calendars, reservation, directory, gallerys.... Joomla allows you to create a full website that you could manage with different rights author, editor... this is good, because people with no html skills could insert articles validated by author. Editor could be notified by email with a plugin named Admin Nitify.

In other way, if wanna just publish articles and a gallery with all social stuff integrated, wordpress could be a great solutions too.

I hope it helps
