Which CMS?

    Hi Folks,

    I have a client who would like a cms that allows him to add Categories with links on the main page of his site, which would in turn take the visitor to a sub page with a list of businesses in that Category.

    Then when a certain Business is clicked on that page, it will then take the visitor to a sub-page with a contact form on it which will then in turn send an email to that business.

    Which CMS would be ideal for this arrangement and allow the client to add Categories, sub-pages with a contact form for that individual business.

    Would wordpress suit?

    Thanks for your help!

    I'd probably use Joomla or Drupal rather than Wordpress for this task.

    I recommend joomla www.joomla.org certainly is the best CMS Now if your project is a virtual community, I recommend Drupal www.drupal.org

    I've begun to like MODX, easy to use and has a nice wysiwyg editor and very light on its feet.

    Like it, like it a lot.

    Expression engine seems a good 2nd choice .. but costs money for a pro version.

    I love Wordpress, but your best bet is to develop your clients site in Drupal.

    I currently have 2 sites I run using Joomla, It's worked out well. It's easy to use and they have many add on components and modules. Also, there's a wide selection of templates available, some free and some commercial.

    One more thing, the official Joomla site has a forum which is quite helpful.

    I think you could easily do something like this in wordpress with a few of the right plugins. Foldable categories sounds like a must.

    You could do this with Drupal and the Views module.
