Every website that I've built has either consisted of static html pages or has been backed by an Open Source Content Management System.
I haven't experienced any unsolvable issues with the Open Source Software that I've used, but lately I've been considering switching all of my web services over to Site Build It!.
Site Build It! seems like a dream come true for online business owners. The folks over at SiteSell.com claim to have taken every tool that a successful online business needs, and condensed it into one solid package.
These are just some of the services you will be entitled to with your Site Build It! site.:
- Brainstorming and researching tools
- Sophisticated decision-making software(makes your niche-choosing foolproof)
- Ranking Reports for Search Engines
- Automated Forms & Sequential Autoresponders (with CAPTCHA graphic-challenge)
- Unique Automated Site-Blogging
- Three unique "ultimate brainstormers"
- Unique Keyword search reports for Directories
And those are just some of the services and features that come along with your Site Build It! site... To learn more about Site Build It!, visit them over at SiteSell.com.
I'm planning of trying Site Build It! myself in the near future as me and my development team are on a site launching journey that could possibly last us a life time and a half.
So far, we've been maintaining everything under control with Nuke-Evolution (a very secure Open Source CMS) and have also been test driving a couple of other Open Source CMS's. We've installed and tested: Mambo, textPattern, RavenNuke, Pligg, drupal, & joomla.
A couple of them overlap each other in the functionality department, but each one has it's own unique feel and touch to it so be sure to check them all out to get a first hand feel of how each one works. Spend some time with each one, install a few modules, uninstall them, take your site through an upgrade cycle if possible, all so that you can get a good feel of each individual software. After doing this, you'll be able to make a better decision on which CMS is right for you and your company.
Every now and then someone asks me to recommend a good CMS for them to use for their website. I usually say: "that's a personal choice, different CMS's suit different needs..."
But if I had to recommend one, it would be Nuke Evolution. It's actually the only one I would recommend to anyone, since it is the CMS that I have the most experience with.
I love Nuke Evolution, and in my opinion it's one of the best, if not the best Open Source CMS available on the web right now. My team has used it for a little over a year now and have had very few complaints about the software. They have a wonderful support staff and their forums are full of helpful topics, bug solutions, feature requests, & install help. There are new posts daily and support requests usually get answered pretty quickly. To learn more about this CMS, visit the Nuke Evolution forums here.
I'll be trying out Site Build It! in early '08, I'm shooting for January, but definitely no later than February.
As I mentioned above, I absolutely love Nuke Evolution and am very grateful for the Open Source Community. If it hadn't been for Nuke Evolution, the creation of our first site would have probably taken us triple the amount of time that it did.
But if this Site Build It! solution really works as advertised, I have a strong feeling that it could be the last regular host I'll ever have to move my sites to. In my opinion, just the services alone are worth the cost of the entire Site Build It! package.
Anyhow, those are my thoughts on Open Source Software and Site Build It! Remember to always conduct your own research, especially when it involves making purchases.
