Hi Guys,
I'm a web designer, but I have never used a content management system. Obviously I need to learn my way around one. I don't really have enough time to try them all out then pick one, so I was wondering if you guys had any suggestions.
The things that I would prefer are:
- complete control over the appearance of the site (is this possible? do i still write the html and css?)
- a free, open source one
- i don't mind if it will take me a while to figure out, i just want maximum control of the appearance
- needs to be able to support things like a message board/news page, with comments allowed, i suppose it could just be a modified blog though.
I hope I don't sound stupid, but yeh, could you help me out please?
Also if you suggest one in particular could you tell me why?
I had kind of been leaning toward either Joomla or Wordpress, but only really because they're some of the ones I hear about most.
Thanks
