What are the best free CMS to make a website?

When we are thinking of creating the website of our business, we always have the doubt of what will be the best option when choosing a good CMS for our project. It is important that we choose a professional company to develop our project, the place of a "friend" or a "cousin", since in addition to being a bad decision, it is likely that the project will have to be paid twice and go to some professional to make the web.

At this point, that we have already selected the company that will make the web, we are faced with the eternal question;

What are the best free CMS for our website?

In this article I will try to elucidate this and other questions, making an easy and simple comparison, which allows us to choose the best CMS for our project; Drupal, Joomla and WordPress.

You should always start from the idea that the choice of a CMS will always be based on the needs of a project, since there is no best CMS for all projects, that is a mistake. To make the decision we must take into account aspects such as; customer requirements and needs, ease of management, accessibility and usability, SEO optimization and better efficiency in dedication time.

CMS Drupal Joomla WordPress

Presentation Drupal is a powerful, developer-friendly tool for building complex sites. But its management is complex for the end customer if he does not have some technical knowledge. Joomla is an unintuitive tool both in development and in management, but it is easier to manage than Drupal WordPress started as a blogging platform. But in recent years it has improved so much that it has made it the most used platform for websites and blogs.

Installation and Development Adequate technical knowledge is required for development Some technical knowledge is required No technical knowledge is required, very simple to install and create the web
SEO optimization Although it has some SEO plugins, they do not have the level of optimization and functionality that in WordPress. Requires more hours of manual work in SEO setup and optimization Although it has some SEO plugins, they do not have the level of optimization and functionality that in WordPress. Requires more hours of manual work in SEO setup and optimization It is the most efficient of the three for 2 reasons; the first because it has an internal blog to be able to publish content and the second because of the innumerable plugins that optimize hours of manual work in a single click. They offer very good results in natural positioning

Cache plugins Pressflow: Includes performance and scalability improvements. JotCache provides control over what content is cached and what is not. WP-SuperCache and W3 Total Cache are hands down the best wordpress cache plugins.
Use cases For complex, advanced and versatile sites, for sites that require complex data organization. Joomla allows you to build a site with more content and the flexibility structure that WordPress offers. It can be used to create blogs and business websites. Its use has been spreading to other more complex areas, being used in social communities, universities and important newspapers.

Conclution: Any of these CMS could be used to make the corporate website of a company. In more complex project cases, we should choose Drupal technology, bearing in mind that we are sacrificing ease of use and the best SEO.

But as long as WordPress meets the requirements of the project to be carried out, it is in all probability the best choice. WordPress will help us a lot when we start working on the SEO of these projects and make our company website reach the best positions in the search engine.
