[BNM] Which CMS would you recommend if your were to use a popular one on the market?

[Julian Blundell]

Hi Andy

For a relatively simple one that does what you want without going mad and
has good security and does re-template without any problem i.e. no fixed
layout I would strongly recommend CMSMadeSimple.

If you are going for a multiple site type installation with lots of power
and again totally configurable and, again, good security Drupal is your
friend but big learning curve to get going.

Woordpress seems ok for little installations, until you need to do a
security update and all your plugins stop working ;)
