PHP CMS to crate a tutorial site like w3schools.com or tizag.com

Question

Gurus ..

Kindly suggest a lightweight PHP cms which can be used to start a tutorial website similar to w3schools.com or tizag.com. Some links or tutorial would be of great help.

If there is possibility with Wordpress i would prefer to go with it.

Answer 1

Go with whatever you're most comfortable with, whether that's WordPress, Joomla! or Drupal.

Any one here could suggest any CMS, but if you're unfamiliar with it it's going to make your task infinitely harder as you've got to learn the CMS first as well.

Answer 2

There are a lot of open source CMS's available and a little searching will go a long way.

Here's a link that helped me a bit in choosing my CMS.

http://php.opensourcecms.com/ http://php.opensourcecms.com/general/ratings.php

Remember that there are different types of CMS's and you should start by defining to what end you are going. Or in other words - what the purpose of the project you are developing is.

ezPublish will be used for publishing type site whereas something like wordpress can be used for your blog type site.

Anyone back me up on this, but you have to define your purpose before you can select a good CMS to use?

Answer 3

If you familiar with wordpress of course i will recomended Wordpress.

There is much Opensource CMS you can try, but i will be wise if you use what you know, then you didn't spend much time learn how to use it..

Answer 4

Nearly any CMS will let you make a site like your examples. I would recommend WordPress, Drupal, or CMS Made Simple.

You can add nearly any kind of content to any CMS platform. What defines it is the content that you ad, and the UI you use.
