I am trying to help a buddy set up a simple web site for a small
landscaping business. I'm going to run it on a Fedora 21 VM on Digital
Ocean (I love them, by the way).
I will set up the OS and software, and I'm a relatively savvy
sysadmin, but he's not an IT guy at all. I'd like to make sure it's
dead-bang easy for him to upload pictures and the like when his
company finishes a new project.
Does anyone have a favorite CMS that is really easy for users?
You may have a look at http://www.cmsgarden.org which is a cooperation of various open
source content management systems.
Someone mentioned WordPress, it is not really a content management system but a blog
system. There is a tendency that each system claims to be suitable (and capable) for
everything. It is as true as the claim a formula 1 car is suitable for your weekend family
shopping.
Unless you have a good IT support you may avoid php based systems for security reasons.
Some systems (e.g. Drupal) are re-programming the whole bunch a comply to a security aware
architecture but most use a programming architecture of the last century.
I suppose the intended site will we quite small (e.g. less than about 100 pages), doesn’t
need a history, is just modestly updated and managed by quite a few authors. You may
choose djangoCMS (easier) or phone (more functions) (both Python). For a really big site
with a lot of daily updates and a bunch of authors you may choose one of the Enterprise
ready systems (OpenCMS or ScientificCMS).
