One CMS that is missing from many lists is e107. I use e107 for most of the current church websites that I host. There is also a list of Open Source CMSes with demos and download info at this site. http://www.opensourcecms.com/ I hope this helps someone.

If your needs are very simple, then it might be perfect. But as soon as you start needing fancier things, for multiple content providers, then you'll need something that's more extensible -- be it Drupal, Joomla, something you code yourself or something else.

Why do you list it as NOT customizable? I think it's extremely flexible? Maybe I'm missing the point of your criteria. Isn’t WordPress the best CMS? Why do you list it as NOT customizable?

Many thanks for letting me know about it. I actually used phpwebsite years ago, and liked it. But I doubt my knowledge of it would be that helpful since it was quite a while ago and it's probably been updated repeatedly since then. This is a terrific list and a great resource.

Thanks! Do you know anything about Soholaunch, phpwebsite, or SiteXpress? These are the 3 CMS I've used, so I know what they do. It would be nice to compare the ones you've reviewed with ones I know. We're keeping a list for UUs that's a permanent resource at UUWiki. Would you help us compile information there?: http://www.uuism.net/uuwiki/index.php?title=Content_Management_System This is a great tool for comparing CMS. Thanks!
