I guess i need CMS :D

I'd like to create a site similar to Vibe Magazine's http://www.vibe.com

I did a little research and ran accross joomla but i need to be sure i can have something easy to integrate ads into and something easy for editors/writers to publish content...

i found something called ijoomla: magazine .....this seems like it may do the trick...will it work with any custom template? ....and where would i go for a custom template?

 

Looks like they sell them on their site...

 

May be achieved with Wordpress and a template for zines.

 

I am also looking for cms other than joomla, mambo and wordpress.

 

Drupal.. If you are looking into a magazine site. That is what I think I am reading Drupal can be adapted to fit your needs. Look at www.fastcompany.com their entire site is done on the Drupal platform. You can learn more about how it was done at drupal.org and search for fastcompany and read the article.

Drupal is more difficult to start off with then say wordpress or joomla but it has so much more possibility and clean flexibility.

 

XXL Mag and Concrete Loop use Wordpress.

I have a site which ranks around 3 or 4 for 'hip hop news' on some G Data Centres. I use Wordpress.

 

I would use Wordpress. Joomla / Drupal, etc..control panels are so complicated and themselves require training. Wordpress can be mastered in a few days or less.

 

let me make a demo site with drupal.

 

i'm going to hire some1 to design a custom template/site ready for editors and writers right away, using either wordpress/joomla/drupal so on... if any1 is interested or knows somebody who might be, please forward this on. Contact me via IM on HustlinHolmes via all networks...or snail mail:
