WordPress, Joomla and Wix are the most popular CMS solutions. Let’s break them down:Let’s break them down:
Top 5 Free CMS Platforms
WordPress:
WordPress is the king of CMS. Because WordPress accounts for 36.5 percent of the world’s total websites. If you calculate the total market share of CMS, 63.5 percent is occupied by WordPress. From blogging to ecommerce stores, there is no such thing as a website category that cannot be created with WordPress. Even if you are not a web developer, even if you do not know coding or programming, you can create a professional site from WordPress which can take years to coding. WordPress has maintained its excellence for many years, combining great themes and plugins, easy setup, beginner friendly, free and effective, professional design. The use of WordPress is increasing day by day but it is not decreasing. So maybe no one can take WordPress down from number one. As a result, a billion dollar industry has been created online around WordPress alone. The funny thing is that our serawebsites.com site is also made with WordPress.
Joomla:
Joomla is another popular option for building websites with no coding knowledge required. It boasts over 1 million active installs worldwide and offers powerful features like content management, social media integration, search engine optimization (SEO), eCommerce capabilities and more!
Joomla has been around since 2005 and is free to download and use. It’s also open source so you can customize it to your heart’s content. Users are able to create templates for their website using HTML or CSS, but Joomla provides an easy-to-use interface that allows even non-technical users to create beautiful websites without any coding knowledge at all. We made Bangladesh High Commission India website using Joomla back in 2016.
Drupal:
Drupal, another open-source CMS, holds approximately 2% of the CMS market share. Founded in 2001, Drupal has actually been around longer than WordPress (founded in 2003).
Based on PHP and MySQL, Drupal is an open-source content management system (CMS). The CMS is used by more than 1,000,000 websites on the web for website design and development purpose. Because Drupal can adapt to your needs, it is a popular CMS. It is possible to start with a very simple corporate website and gradually add the necessary features (e-commerce, catalogs, rating systems, etc.). Today, businesses depend increasingly on the speed of decision-making, which makes Drupal’s flexibility a major advantage.
Wix:
With 1.5 percent of the total website and 2.5 percent of CMS in terms of market share, Wix ranks 2nd on my list as a blogging friendly CMS. Although very similar to WordPress, Wix did not gain as much popularity as WordPress. However, Wix’s users are slowly increasing day by day, as a result of which Wix’s market share is also increasing. Many new bloggers, ecommerce businessmen are leaning towards Weeks.
Blogger:
Blogger is the blogging CMS of tech giant Google. Google’s Blogger is the most popular CMS after WordPress for blogging around the world. However, the limitation of Blogger is that it does not work with any category other than blogging. Specifically designed for Bloggers. If you just want to get started blogging, then Google Blogger is the best option. [It only costs to buy a domain]. Although there have been a lot of users in the past, there has been a decrease in Blogger lately. As a result, Blogger’s current market share is 1 percent of the total website and 1.8 percent of CMS.
Tumblr:
Tumblr is another CMS platform. Like Medium, they have not gained much popularity as website builders despite having millions of users. However, social media and web 2.0 are very important to Tumbler bloggers.
