The Mission Link

At the Internet Ministry Conference I attended back in Sep 2007 I took several workshops about open source CMSs.  The best way to share those notes with you is to direct you to the original session notes.

A summary to walk away with…

Why Open Source?

• Cost - Hey - you can’t beat free (sometimes)
• A wide variety of pre-built themes and plugins at no cost or very little cost.
• Runs on Apache/PHP/MySQL
• A CMS helps force you to do good planning ahead of time
• Support comes from thousands of users, not just a company (that can be good or bad…)

The Big Four

• WordPress
• Joomla
• Drupal
• MODx
