CMS Awards

I know it's a long time since my last post. Well I was busy doing stuff! Anyway, I was working on a new project with some of my friends to design and program a new CMS, based on Microsoft ASP.NET . But it's not completed yet, actually it needs more time. A web CMS or Web Content Management System is a system for managing the website content easily using  an administration control panel. There are some CMSs in the market you can use, some free some commercial. and even some of them are open source.
Drupal and Joomla were awarded as 1st and 2nd places in the year 2009 in the open source CMS award in the Best Open Source PHP CMS category. these two CMSs have been always in one of three first top positions. There are other CMSs awarded in different categories too. like Microsoft Sharepoint 2007 for document management and collaboration. this year WordPress was awarded as Overall Best Open Source CMS. For those unaware, WordPress is an open source blogging platform that powers hundreds of thousands (if not millions) of websites.
Creating a new CMS depend on detail level and customization level is a hard work. actually it is fun too!! At least you can try one of these free CMSs. you can learn many things just by using them. have fun!
