I've been looking at the source code trying to figure out which CMS has been used for these sites. Can anybody guess?

Welcome to the forums.

 

I'd say they are all custom built...

Thanks @@BlueDreamer ! If you were building a greeting card site or meme generator would use Drupal or Joomla?

Personally I'd custom build an application for it. What exactly are you trying to do?

@@mikekaperys I'm trying to build two sites (or one if possible). One that acts like http://www.someecards.com or http://memegenerator.net where users can modify/add words to the images I host. And another part that's a cart like http://www.hallmark.com

 

If I can combine them into 1 site so users do not have to sign up twice that would be ideal.

I see Drupal and Ubercart might be a good bet for the store. Does anyone know if I can connect two separate installs? (ex. main.com and store.main.com)

Sounds cool.

 

You can have both applications running on the same domain, as you described.
You'd upload your main website to your root directory. Then create a subdirectory for your store and upload it there. Usually, most hosts allow you to create subdomains by creating a folder then appending it to your URL. For example, you'll create a folder called store in your root directory, then access it at store.example.com. Make sense?

 

As for Drupal or Joomla, I don't have enough experience with either to say which would be easier to manage your application with - but I'd imagine to manage something of that complexity you'll need to custom build it.
