Is the Best CMS no CMS?

Is the Best CMS no CMS?

So what CMS is right for you? There’s a ton out there. Some are free, some you pay for – they all have a ton of really cool features. More and more though, people are turning to a simple, easy to use, google PR friendly blog.

Obviously, if you need something complicated like a shopping cart or a forum you’ll still need a CMS- oh, wait, what’s this. Ecommerce themes? Ecommerce plugins? Wow… WordPress e-Commerce Plugin seems to be the standard for a light and cool little shopping cart. They boast “Over 500,000 + downloads, stability, security and tight WordPress integration make it the right choice for growing your business online.” And why not? Admittedly wordpress is a lot easier to use than Joomla or Drupal CMS or any of the other ones out there. SEO is a lot easier too with so many high PR blogs itching to link to cool content for their followers. I’ve seen blogs rack up a PR6 homepage within a couple months of being online, which is just outstanding.

What about forums? Yet again, several plugins exist. I think feature-wise, a wordpress blog has nearly as much going for it as a CMS does. So why even consider CMS?
