Web Development Content Management Systems - Custom vs. Prebuilt
Friday, April 25th, 2008 by jbarlup
It’s been a long overdue task posting here on the Vault and I welcome the invite! I’m a geek by trade as most of you know (or are about to find out). Actually we spell it G33K - the 3’s make it geekier by nature! I’ll try to tone it down a bit, but consider this your warning prior to reading on that this is a g33ky entry.
Often in a normal work week I get asked many questions regarding web development. These questions are on a wide range of topics including Flash, Accessibility, XHTML, CSS… you get the idea. With more and more companies becoming enlightened in the ways of existing content management frameworks, a question that comes up often is: “Which is the right solution for me, a pre-built content management system like Joomla!, Drupal, WordPress (for blogging), or Ektron…or a custom tool that JPL would code specific to my needs?”
