Subject: Re: ot: CMS




I develop sites in both Wordpress and Joomla. Wordpress is great if you
have different users contributing articles. Joomla is pretty powerful too
but is less blog oriented . Your design can be accomplished in both.
Either one can be made to look like your site - but from the looks of your
site, either one may be an overkill unless you are planning on expanding
the site with items like periodically updated news and articles and other
content that makes these CMS's so valuable. It appears that much of the
site is currently fairly static.
Nevertheless, with Wordpress you
can set up pages for each of the items you have on your navigation, then
set a page to be your default page rather than the news-feed. Then just
design the theme to your current site's design. At least then you can
easily update items like your staff bio's and gallery. You can do similar
with Joomla too. I recommend installing both on another server and playing
with them to see which one you find easier to manage.
Be well,
Mike
