Which php CMS should a frontend developer choose?

Question

CMS

Good evening community!
I work as a frontend developer, and sometimes I receive orders for the development of a site on a turnkey basis. I tried to work with backend specialists remotely, but I was lucky on dishonest ones.
As a result, I came up with the idea to master some CMS at a minimum level in order to fulfill orders for standard projects myself.
I have experience with the laravel framework, and with the October CMS built on it, but there is a lot of writing there (although, on the other hand, it is a very flexible system). I also look at Wordpress with its army of plugins for any occasion.
I would like to hear the opinion of the frontend masters, their opinion on this matter. What CMS have you chosen for yourself, or do you give the backend to other specialists?

Answer 1

mods of course.

Answer 2

Try Modx Revolution

Answer 3

ModX or Drupal. Both are pretty confusing for CMS, but it's not that hard to figure it out - it just takes practice. Both are CMFs, but ModX is more of a framework and Drupal is more of a CMS.
I would recommend mastering both, because mastering these two CMFs covers most of the needs for using a CMS.
I do not recommend Wordpress - this CMS is suitable for those who want to make a website, but are not a developer, for developers it creates more difficulties.

Answer 4

Wordpress, although it is also not without its shortcomings. Haven't come across a better one yet. Easier means better and more flexible. Plus a huge community, which is important for a beginner. You won’t find an answer for some Drupal for weeks ...

Answer 5

It seems to me that one of the options would be to use firebase (But don’t listen to me, I’m superficially friendly with front development)
As for CMS derivatives of frameworks, and the frameworks themselves, then we must proceed from the task at hand. For typical - any that can.
But if REST, tricky logic or something else in the TK. Then if it is not possible to dissuade the customer from this functionality (or find alternatives), then either delve into the framework yourself, or find a decent companion.

Answer 6

WordPress. Although I myself do not like php and everything connected with it, WP is the best option for most typical tasks.

Answer 7

my choice is drupal.
