what CMS can I use?

I need to build a website that:

- allows users to update the text.. after logging into a password protected area. So they can simply just post and edit content from the webpages

- Create online surveys and polls

- Add in images to a gallery

Or do I need to hire a PHP programmer to create this?

Thanks!

 

There are a number of options you can use for this.

If you have a large number of users that will be modifiying texts, use the same program as wikipedia (http://wikimediafoundation.org)

If it's a small number of users that you know and can handle in an individual basis, use Joomla (joomla.com) and give them each editor rights.

 

I would like to design the layout.. and then find a 3rd party to integrate it into a CMS. Is this still possible?

For modification, it will only be one member..

For joomola, I can create polls, add in pages, content easily? Can this be coded like WP themes?

 

wordpress, i guess

 

i suggest you the joomla but pls look

joomla has 5 level user management system . you must edit the user level to EDITOR .

joomla has poll property by the default . you can use it. it also has an extension category for the surveys.

joomla extension directory has a gallery component category but my suggest for the gallery component is ZOOM media gallery component.

i think you must see http://extensions.joomla.org/ .

shortly i suggest you JOOMLA. in fact i suggest joomla for everythink. imagine and do with joomla

 

Try e107 CMS

 

Joomla is the best for this, I'm using it and It's great for everyone

 

Thank you so much! Sounds like I'm going to go with Joomla. hopefully coding it from PSD to JOOMLA won't be too hard

 

Good luck with Joomla. I have pleasant experience working a website using Joomla.

 

I also recommend Joomla. and like to add some stuff into this.

 

joomla would be better it has got lots of options!
