Universal engine for the site?

Question

CMS

Hello. That's how many times they ask me to make a business card website with a blog or an online store, and I cut myself off because it somehow takes time on .net, and I don’t want to kill a lot of time for little money. Interested in a php engine with the ability to create from an online store with filters and all sorts of bells and whistles to a simple site. Preferably with good documentation and free. Also, so that you can expand the functionality without fierce crutches. Is there anything? Or do you need multiple engines?

Answer 1

Do you understand that cms, which seeks to provide for everything, is a pile of shit code?
You have two options - to crush this substance with your hands for a penny or to solve specific problems on the framework.
Take a component framework and design, either not component-based, but with a rich selection of extensions.

Answer 2

There is Drupal for this purpose. It is very flexible, but also quite difficult to master. =)
But specialized applications outperform universal ones - they are often simpler, and therefore easier and more reliable, simply because less code is required, and it is simpler. Also, they are often more developed, because originally conceived to solve a specific problem.
Therefore, something complex, such as a store, is much more reasonable to do on a specialized engine, though.

Answer 3

Or do you need multiple engines?

Yes
if universal cms, then without crutches it will not work. Crutch - payment for versatility
There will be different lists for different TK. Miracles don't happen.
well, that doesn't happen either. Of course, you can use cms for the store to make a simple site, but this is hellishly not optimal. It makes sense to buy a car if you need an ashtray. If you are one of those who do not pay attention to such things - there is always WP. We take WP, add clumsily written modules, finish our crutches - "beauty". Will go. Crookedly, slowly, but will be. If you make very cheap sites in batches, probably the only option.

Answer 4

Modx is a good alternative for small and not very complex sites.
Something between classic CMS like Wordpress/Jommla and PHP frameworks like Laravel/Yii

Answer 5

A business card site with a blog is WordPress, and here is a ready-made theme with an adaptive design for 40-50 greens - cheap and cheerful. With the store, you need to look at what the customer has - there are many or few product names, payment methods, etc., so options are possible.
