When building a site, "choosing a CMS" is an important decision. The right choice makes further work easier.
What is a CMS?
A CMS (Content Management System) is a system that lets you manage site content without programming. Adding text, uploading images, creating pages โ all through a convenient panel.
Popular CMS options
- WordPress โ the most popular. Suitable for a blog, business-card or business site. A large choice of plugins.
- OpenCart / WooCommerce โ for online stores.
- Joomla โ more complex, but flexible for non-standard projects.
- Builders โ the easiest, but with limited capabilities.
Which one to choose?
For most projects WordPress is the safest choice. For an online store โ WooCommerce or OpenCart.
An important condition
Whichever CMS you choose, you need hosting that supports PHP and MySQL.
