Re: CMS solutions for team website?
Drupal, Joomla and Wordpress are the top three CMS clients I suggest.
I've used both wordpress and drupal extensively. I use Drupal for all my websites now because they have the most flexibility & options. If you are just starting out on website development, I suggest wordpress as a first-time CMS package. EDIT: Just found this article today - http://drupal.org/best-open-source-PHP-CMS-award-2009 PM me if you have any questions |

Re: CMS solutions for team website?
As always, i'm the only one saying DotNetNuke. The only reason for this, is because for people that have no idea what the heck PHP is, VB.net is a lot more readable on this, and it uses more JavaScript for most things than actually generation.
But the other websites are very good. All of the above can be tested locally too (XAMPP) (except DotNetNuke which needs IIS and MSSQL express), so you can download all of them, mess around and decide which you like ![]() |

Re: CMS solutions for team website?
We use Wordpress for our blog here.
The theme (Atahualpa) made it easy enough to customize everything, and I'd recommend it. |

Re: CMS solutions for team website?
I've always been a fan of Joomla and Wordpress. I haven't wrapped my head around Drupal yet, but I hear it's really great, and it seems to be popular, so that's definitely another option.
I second the recommendation of browsing this site: http://www.opensourcecms.com/ It features nearly every CMS/platform worth using, and provides a front-end and back-end demo for every single one of them. |

Re: CMS solutions for team website?
1676 currently uses WordPress and it does an excellent job: www.team1676.com - but in the past we have used PHP-Fusion (both are free) and work extremely well. We changed over to WordPress because it was a little more customizable to our liking and generally looked a bit "nicer" ... to view our old "PHP-Fusion" site, go to: www.team1676.com/old-news.php
Good Luck! |

Re: CMS solutions for team website?
For Team 2503, I code it by hand. I'm starting to think about just wiping it clean and putting in a CMS (save me the trouble of all the PHP work, plus designing it myself).

Re: CMS solutions for team website?
Team 2472 uses the Joomla CMS with several extensions, including a Facebook page stream. For the design, we bought and modified a template made by RocketTheme. It was a little tricky to learn at first, but the result is much better than anything that I could have done (at least, in my skill set) with HTML and CSS. Once you learn its in's and out's, Joomla is easy to work with, and allows team members to post content without needing an html editor, ftp, or coding knowledge. The WSIWYG editor is very nice, and it allows modification of the html, if needed. I would definitely recommend Joomla as a CMS.
