For those of which are unfamiliar with what a CMS is, or what it can be used for. A CMS is computer software that is used in organizing and collaborating the creation of content and other documents. CMS is a combination of large database, File System, and other related software modules, which are used to store and retrieve huge amounts of data when required.

These web-publishing systems are different from the databases in the sense that these can index text, audio clips, video clips, or images in a database. So Content Management Systems are one of the most significant ways a company can improve its website effectiveness, and simply being able to edit your own website without any HTML knowledge needed.

Joomla

Joomla is an open source solution for CMS (Content Management System) which helps you to build websites and powerful online applications. Joomla is easy to use and good for extensibility, thus making it the most popular website software available today. Best of all, Joomla is an open source solution that is freely available to everyone. It is extremely robust and there are a wide variety of extensions readily available for Joomla, which can be found at: Joomla Exensions.

WordPress

WordPress is one of the most popular open-source and free blogging software. WordPress is written in PHP using MySQL. Today, it has grown to be the largest self-hosted blogging tool in the world, used on hundreds of thousands of sites and seen by tens of millions of people each day. We’ve found that WordPress works great with blogs, but lacks as a primary CMS (in our view) but it keeps improving day by day! A list of free themes, extensions, and plugins for WordPress can be found at: http://wordpress.org/extend/
