Can you recommend me a CMS?
 

Hi guys,

Can anyone recommend me CMS that is search engine friendly, relatively easy to use and FREE? I have had a look a Mambo and trying to figure it out. This is my first venture into CMS...

If there is already a good thread somewhere pls direct me to it

I recently wrote a little article about this at www.seo-scoop.com/direct_link.cfm?thepost=71 with some links to help you find the right one. Hope that helps.

Check out Midgard.. just do a google search for it...
U need to have knowledge of PHP for it .

how about phpnuke - any good experience someone?
I am building a new site and got recommondations on mambo server and phpnuke...

oh yeaaaaaah
Php Nuke is not bad !! it come integrated with phpBb and stuff..
Not a bad option..,

postnuke, zope, & plone are great.

I've made a special point of testing dozens of cms systems over the last year or so, http://drupal.org is head and shoulders above EVERYTHING.

I even wrote a little tutorial on what features to enable and how over at the sew forums. Not sure on the link policy here, just go search in the dynamic website issues forum for it if you want.

You dont really need to though, it's dead easy to set up ;-)

Its all good nick the policy is, if you arent linking to spam crap then you can link. I like to be able to click to what someone is referecing as well. Only time my mods get uptight is when you are posting a lot with your own links as the target, gets construed as spam. But seriously a useful link is a good link.

Drupal
 

I asked the same question yesterday and I had some answers in the seo discussion forum. Then I started to Install most of the ones that comes with Fantastico and Drupal is in my best opinion that does the best job regarding to be a friendly search engine CMS. Try it out. It even let you create static pages in either PHP or HTML without any knowledge of PHP.

Also there are many modules that you can integrate later on as your programming skills gets better. I am building one of my website based on Drupal only.

Good Luck,

Cms
 

I have looked at several CMS scripts but can't find one that is in xhtml (without tables)

Back a few years ago we started designing websites using xhtml and css for the layout instead of tables and hand coding everything then we developed our own CMS, it's pretty scaled down but it does the trick.

You can enter your title/meta info, update content and access form submission and subscriber records.

I have also tried the CMS from http://phpwebsite.appstate.edu/ but it still has tables.

I would be interested in finding a good CMS that is not using tables.
