5 recommendations for determining a solid Content Management Framework?

Once you determin that upgrading your website from static to a more dynamic one or whether you are creating a new website, the question that is difficult to answer is which Content Management Framework to use. Depending on the developers or people you ask, you will get various answers. Some of the options are Joomla, Drupal, and WordPress (these are the most popular but not the only options).

If you ask me I would tell you it depends on what you want to do with your website. Some people think WordPress is for blogging only but you can create websites in wordpress with the adequate tools and also include a blog if you want. I personally favor WordPress for most small business individuals. I used Drupal but I realized moving to WordPress made my life a lot easier.

When I moved this corporate site to WordPress, I realized that I could focus more on providing content instead of spending so much time on coding. To help me get familiar with WordPress I decided to buy the Genesis Framework (affiliate link). I got over the learning curve factor as quick as possible and I realized that I could not have made a better choice using Genesis.

If you have a complex website in mind, Drupal is my choice since it is very functional and a lot of great developers that I know and run circles around me when it comes to this frame work.
