Which CMS should a beginner web studio choose?

Question

CMS

Hello.
Yes, a beginner web studio. I agree, it does not sound the most convincing way, but, nevertheless, I will forgive your advice and help!
Essence of a question: there is a made-up site (html + css). The site can be a one-page, landing, promo, corporate (multi-page), blog, mini-shop (one page), standard store (tin in the form of sorting, categories, sections - in general, full stuffing).
It is necessary to pull the CMS on this made-up site. It is desirable that this be done not too zaparno. (Well, you can dream). After reading a bunch of guides, I realized that all this is one big crutch - pulling a made-up website - and I couldn’t even google such an operation with a store. There is at least something clear with a regular site, then how to pull it on a store - oooooooo.
In general, tell me if we are doing everything right: creating a design, layout, stretching and the site with the CMS is ready. It seems that I look at the questions on the toaster, and on the Internet - everything is so easy for everyone. Yes, and somehow normal web studios work in general.
And what CMS or 2 CMSs to choose for these tasks, as I understand it, you get 1 for stores, and the other for everything else.
The segment of clients is initial, that is, I don’t know if Bitrix will be pulled. But you can still write this option if you see fit.
I also heard about CMS, CMF and frameworks. Maybe we need a framework? Enlighten, there is already porridge in the head and it is not clear where to move there and what to do. Now I'm just spinning around.
Thank you!

Answer 1

I'm probably going to be stoned right now... A web studio using Joomla, Wordpress and other "quick deployment" DMSs is a bunch of crooks or schoolchildren. A decent web studio works either on a good general-purpose framework (Larva, Yui, Zend, etc.) or makes its own framework (Most often based on the same larv yu, etc.). For when everything is systematized and all processes and rules are written, the final product comes out faster and better than on the CMS "Create a website in 3 minutes". A frequent exception to this rule is online stores, and then for the time being, while preparing their decisions. If you don't feel it, you will become another shitty office making shitty sites for shitty clients for shitty pennies. This is about the back. For the front, a limited set of tools is also selected, work with which is also systematized. For a start-up office that does not yet have its own front-end bison, React can be advised. Fast, simple, neat.

Answer 2

WordPress. He himself came to work in the studio, where they used this cms. At first, I treated this system with disdain. Get used to using frameworks. But after a month of work, I realized that the time for developing sites has decreased significantly. Designing a template and then inserting it takes minimal time. You can make a website of any complexity and subject matter. A bunch of plugins and all have free functionality. I would also note the support and speed of this cms.

Answer 3

Each task must be approached individually. For example, if a forum, then you need to take cms for the forum, and not make a news site with a forum module. The same applies to shops. In some cases, it is more correct and easier to write from scratch than to fence crutches on cms

Answer 4

Of course, you can dream, but there is no panacea, if this were possible, there was only one cms and everyone set it.
I can only advise wp for blogs, but for some reason I can’t digest Joomla and Drupal.

Answer 5

For abstract needs and greater flexibility, it is better to use frameworks, something like yii2, Django.

Answer 6

Write something yourself. With an abundance of modern frameworks, this is not so difficult. Thus, you tie the client to your tech. support, and you save yourself from other people's bugs (the main thing is to spawn your own :)
From CMS, I would choose ModX - well, I like its structure and approach. Something that can be screwed to it with plugins.
Under something loaded Node js + Express.

Answer 7

WordPress.
Perfect in the beginning.
Here are interesting articles on this topic:
The nuances of commercial development on WordPress
How we make budget sites
ps: and also read the WebCanape company blog on Habré . There is a lot of useful information for development.

Answer 8

MODX for simple websites and something for stores like Bitrix/CS-Cart

Answer 9

joomla is best or develop your own cms

Answer 10

Since you are a beginner studio and you have a mess in your head, by your own admission, and also there is no specialist who knows how to integrate layout with the CMS of the store, then pay attention to commercial design themes for Bitrix, OpenCart (it will be easier to start), they can be finished and it is easier than integrating from scratch.
If you still decide to integrate, then Bitrix offers a lot of courses and video tutorials for developers on the site, but this system is more complicated than OpenCart, which I already wrote about.
Write to me by mail or better on Skype, I will consult you for free in more detail about these processes and others, for 8 years I have drunk on everything;)

Answer 11

If you have such questions before you, then there are doubts about the competence of the developers. Since professionals themselves choose those tools with which it is more convenient for them to work. And the manager should have a completely different kind of questions and metrics.

Answer 12

modx and only modx for websites and directories.
for IM - Bitrix.
