Website Engines

[Zach Lien]

Hey guys, just wondering if anyone else knows of any other sql type engines besides the one's i have listed below.

http://www.mamboserver.com (personal favorite)
http://www.neocrome.net (ldu engine, very easy to use)
http://www.phpnuke.org

So far I think Mambo looks the cleanest, but it can be a bit complicated at times.

I just want to see what else is out there, a bit more of a variety before i choose one for my site. Thanks guys

I just spent a week or more installing Mambo and designing a site around it. It's great! Although, unless you find a template you like, you might need to fiddle with the PHP code to make your site look unique. And it was sometimes complicated to get mods and mambots working right. Too many options is not always a good thing. I eventually decided that it couldn't do what I wanted so am starting over from scratch. My brother is a programmer and is building the backend of a custom search engine that will crawl the Internet gathering data. But I'd go with Mambo. There's a lot of support for it.

Good luck!

sweet. i found joomla, from the rebels that left mambo. apparently mambo was going corrupt, so the lead programmers left and started joomla. looks pretty much the same.
