Comprehensive Overview of Top 14 Content Management Systems

| Wednesday, January 26, 2011
These days many websites (in fact, millions) are implemented by the use of popular open source content management systems (CMS). I would say, for everything you would imagine your site doing, there is one or another CMS which can do that. Thus, the reason for choosing a particular one depends on the tasks you want to accomplish. For blogs there is a common sense of using WordPress blog management system, for large scale websites Drupal CMS is perceived to be a better fit, while Joomla CMS is easier to learn for newbies. .NET developers prefer alternative DonNetNuke or umbraco CMS. Besides these, CMS Made Simple and Liferay are amongst the most popular content management systems based on the number of the number of downloads. Elgg and MODx are amongst the rising stars.

I will not tell you what a CMS is. If you want to learn, see the CMS Wikipedia page. In this blog I will give a comprehensive overview of top 14 content management systems based on the number of weekly downloads, installations, and brand familiarity. The full statistical data can be found in the 2010 OPEN SOURCE CMS MARKET SHARE REPORT by water&stone (2010). The report is distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution-Noncommercial License (3.0).

Today we will cover Drupal, Joomla, MODx, WordPress, DotNetNuke, umbraco, Liferay, TYPO3, CMS Made Simple, MOVABLE TYPE, Plone, eZ Publish, concrete5, and Alfresco content management systems. You might already be familiar with some of these, while some can be new to you. I bet you will be surprised to learn that some unknown for you systems suit your requirements much better than those you have got to use so far (my personal experience). So, let's learn about each of them, and do not forget to leave your comments below on what other CMS should have been included in this list and why.
