I'm a experienced developer with advanced site requirements, so I'm leaning towards ModX, but am also considering e107. e107's built-in forum (that operates pretty reasonably) is appealing…although I might use Modx and work-up or find a PHPBB3 bridge etc.

Strong templating, multi-lingual, and AJAX support (or extensibility) are also considerations.

Henrik, since the IMPORTANT site nav is at the bottom of your site :-) ..you might want to pick up Don't Make Me Think by Steve Krug. A super-fast (2 hr), wonderfully illustrated read..that will improve your web usability thinking forever.

Anyhow..Nice Review!

I’m a experienced developer with advanced site requirements, so I’m leaning towards ModX, but am also considering e107. e107’s built-in forum (that operates pretty reasonably) is appealing…although I might use Modx and work-up or find a PHPBB3 bridge etc.

Strong templating, multi-lingual, and AJAX support (or extensibility) are also considerations.

Henrik, since the IMPORTANT site nav is at the bottom of your site :-) ..you might want to pick up Don’t Make Me Think by Steve Krug. A super-fast (2 hr), wonderfully illustrated read..that will improve your web usability thinking forever.

Anyhow..Nice Review!

Snippets, chunks and the templating system really makes it what it is. The only problem is that the user base isn't as extensive as it should be. We'll see what happens with the release of 0.9.7.

Joomla is a very simplified CMS which can accommodate only needs of very small web-sites and organizations.

This is a statement I don't agree with, switching “very small” to “small to medium sized” feels more accurate.
