Joomla sits between WordPress and Drupal: more built-in structure than WordPress, less developer effort than Drupal. Its strengths are multilingual support, access control, and a flexible content system that come in core. Its weaknesses are a smaller extension market, a smaller pool of developers, and major version upgrades that can be disruptive for sites with…

Drupal and WordPress are both free, open source, and licensed under the GPL, so neither charges for the software. The price gap people talk about, sometimes framed as twenty thousand dollars for a Drupal site versus a couple of hundred for WordPress, comes from who has to build the site and how much custom work…

Joomla itself is free: it is open source software released under the GPL, and there is no licence fee to download, install, or run it. What costs money is everything around it: hosting, a domain, templates, extensions, and the time someone spends building and maintaining the site. For a small site the yearly running cost…

Most content on a CMS-powered site is published, indexed, and then ignored. The pieces that get read, bookmarked, and linked to tend to share a handful of habits: they answer a specific question early, they are structured for scanning, and they stay accurate after publication. Here are eight of those habits, with notes on how…

Wix AI (Wix’s built-in AI site builder and text generator) creates a site that lives entirely inside Wix’s proprietary system, and there is no direct export path from it to WordPress. Moving from Wix to WordPress, whether the site was built manually or with Wix AI, means rebuilding the site rather than migrating it in…

To log in to Webnode, go to webnode.com, click “Log in” in the top right, and enter the email and password you used to sign up. If you built your site on a country-specific domain (webnode.cz, webnode.page, etc.), the login screen is the same across all of them. If you’ve forgotten your password, use the…

phpBB is standalone forum software; bbPress is a forum plugin built to run inside WordPress. If you’re moving a board from phpBB into bbPress, you’re not doing a like-for-like swap — you’re moving from a full-featured, independent forum system into a lightweight plugin that inherits WordPress’s user accounts, themes and permissions. Some things map cleanly.…

phpBB is free, open-source forum software that has been around since 2000. It’s stable, well-documented, and still one of the most widely used forum platforms, but its admin interface feels dated and development moves slowly compared with newer alternatives. What phpBB does well Free and open source. No licence fees, and the code is available…

IP.Board (now sold as Invision Community) and vBulletin are the two main commercial forum platforms still in active use. Both are PHP-based, both charge for licenses, and both have their own theme and plugin ecosystems that don’t cross over. If you’re hunting for a vBulletin theme, you’re locked into vBulletin’s own style system – IP.Board…

Wix and Squarespace lock your content inside their own systems with no real way out. WordPress gives you a portable database and files, but only if you host it yourself and keep it maintained. The “wrong” with each isn’t features, it’s what happens the day you want to leave. Control and exit, not features Feature…
