    I use the CMS XOOPS on my main website and I am very happy with it. It is very configurable and has just about every module that I could want and writing a new module when I can not find what I want is simple too.

    The reason for this thread is, I have a few other sites, where I use Zen-Cart as a CMS because of the great banner management that Zen-Cart has and the ease of operation of Zen-Carts E-Z pages. I don't actually sell a product on any of my Zen-Cart sites through Zen-Cart itself. I just like the ease of adding my PPC links and tracking the activity with Zen-Cart.

    What good CMS are you using that has very good banner management and banner placement, click tracking, log checking, comes bare bones as far as initial modules or extensions go, but has a ton of modules or extensions available and uses PHP as the programming language. If it uses Smarty template engine, that would be a very nice plus.

    I use Wordpress. Tons of plugins, php and lots of documentation. I don't code but have found it very easy to find programmers that are versed in Wordpress. And once the design is done it is very easy to update.

    Wordpress is a blog. However, its highly customization thems and powerful plug-ins make it to be used as CMS.

    E.g. seo.com is built on wordpress. Just look at the theme and SEO.

    In the beginning I only used Joomla, and I thought that Wordpress only were to be used as a blogging software, but it's really not.
    You can get themes/templates for Wordpress which makes it an ideal CMS. If you do not want to use Wordpress, you could try some other CMS like e107.org.

    I think it`s important to find a CMS that you feel your`re comfortable with, because you`re going to use it for a while I guess.
    I would recommend Wordpress together with a theme\template that you like !

    learn php and make your own cms, much better then using something built by someone else.
