Which CMS to choose for a news portal?

Question

CMS

The task is to make a project similar in functionality to this site: advgazeta.ru The site was made on Bitrix, so our management wanted to take it too, but the programmers began to dissuade that it was just a waste of money.
One specialist suggested DLE, but they did not work with this cms before.
We are still thinking about Wordpress, but is it suitable for a high-load project?

Answer 1

I have been working for 7 years already only with DLE for me there are no better options, everything is simple and easy + my knowledge of php for the necessary modules, yes it is paid but it's worth it

Answer 2

I doubt that programmers sit and think about the company's budget. Most likely they don’t know how to cook it, this same Bitrix.
My answer is Bitrix. Moreover, how much it is there ... 5400 rubles is inexpensive.
I can show one of my news sites made at the "start".

Answer 3

dle - has been dead for 10 years already
, there are no paid competitors to Bitrix, and integration and community and compliance with Russian legislation.
If we talk about free
modx, well, wp,
but comparing the functionality of a paid engine with free ones is also not entirely correct.
Bitrix is ​​well suited for stores and news portals, so I think this would be the best solution.
One proactive defense will be a reason to choose it, Bitrix is ​​really badly hacked.
Yes, and compliance with Russian legislation is a plus.

Answer 4

paid / free engine is not an indicator
, you need to take the engine for which you have people who are well versed in it available.
but you should not take their word for it (especially "beginner frontenders", who have been starting with DLE for 7 years already), you should definitely ask them to show the projects they have already implemented on such an engine.

Answer 5

Sit down Make
a list of features that are required from the engine
Go through all the engines and see which one has a set of required features and what is their quality
The engine that will have the least improvements and the one in which your team has expertise and choose

Answer 6

DLE or Wordpress (even a cleaner will figure it out in dle) -
DLE is in favorites (but paid)
WP is also an option You
can also look towards Drupal or ModX

Answer 7

For a newsreader, definitely WordPress.
In our company, I personally support a site with a traffic of 5 million uniques per month, it keeps and keeps normally.
