Why is it that nearly every open source CMS thinks they should look and act like a clone of Slashdot? Most sites have needs for content that extends beyond a list of news items with comment, email, and print links.
Most sites in need of content management aren’t blogs or news sites. They are small businesses who want an easy way to update their sites, change their contact information, update services and events, and that sort of thing. News-oriented systems like Drupal or Postnuke aren’t doing a good job of selling themselves to these types of sites.
Where’s the easy-to-use CMS for the average small Web site?
In my opinion Typo3 is the best Web Content Management System. But there are two interesting alternatives CMS:Joomla / Mamboo an Drupal.
I have been using many CMSs for a few years. The best one that can work with any html/htm site is lemonCMS.
I have quite a few clients that I built sites for who use lemonCMS to edit content and upload pictures.
This is awesome because it gives me the freedom to creat a great looking site and they can make simple changes on their own. Most of the sites I design are made with one main page that is php and can not be edited with the CMS so the client can’t break it. All other pages load into an iframe. This gives me the most control over the look and feel of the site.
Most recently I started embeding the pages using the include tag. I build the page and do all of the menus. The client can then edit any of the pages with ease.

I use an older version. The one I downloaded a few months ago was unstable.
Typo3 ist the best, because there are no limits for most of webprojects
I will use Typo3 in kombination with Yaml CSS. So I can it use very well.
Thanks
