Comparing different CMS

In my last post, I've talked about an example of a Content Management System, Joomla! But there are more CMS available, such as Drupal, PHP-Nuke, SPIP, Zikula, Mestre a Casa, Moodle and several more.

First of all, let's see Drupal. There are two examples of sites made on that platform, and both of them are fairly high-quality and easy to navigate, which is very convenient for anyone who is visiting them for the first time.

Websites made via Joomla! are also of fairly high quality. Here are two examples:

The same could be said about PHP-Nuke, SPIP and Zikula:

Some websites made with Mestre a Casa require a little bit of polishing, either in their format (some tables don't fit inside the general frame) or their distribution of information (little visibility of the information menu):

All these sites are basically information about different schools. Personally, I tend to like more those that offer useful information about the school on their front page in a clear way, rather than those that emphasize news and events and hide the information somewhere in the corner. This site is a good example of the former and this one, of the latter.
