Another day of dotnetnuke today. This time I’ve been working on the CataLook store module with paypal integration. After a previous integration with barclays epdq I have to say paypal is (so far) a breeze and a pleasure.
I always get stuck with something though – and today was no exception, getting a quick report report for the accounts department showing all orders complete with the dotnetnuke profile info…
After lots (and lots) of messing with different content management systems and blogs, I have decided to try wordpress as both a blog engine and simple cms.
I have a lot of people after a simple web presence, and most systems are either way too confusing for the client, or way too simplified to be able to do anything with.
Heres hoping that this works a little better than some of my previous attempts:
Joomla – update nightmare
Dotnetnuke – expensive for the hosting (cms is free but on windows) can be a little clunky for a small site, however I do use this daily in a corporate environment
Drupal – was way too complicated for my average client, lasted 5 minutes
hosted wordpress – great, but unable to host ads (a major requirement for some clients)
hosted blogspot/blogger – not bad, and fits the needs of some clients, the only issues are slight content ownership concerns, and limits of 10 pages.
