April 23, 201511 yr Hi Everyone Just a very basic question which probably has been asked before, I am looking for a Content Management System which is great for being able to manage different sections, via different users. My website deals with reviews and interviews for example - so I'd want my reviewers only able to edit the review section, the interviewers able to edit the interviews & then the homepage only to be edited by one admin etc. We would also be looking for something which could create polls, run pages which update themselves automatically (such as BBC Football Live) and be able to upload various videos on feature pages etc. I guess a lot of the user systems do this, but can anybody advise which ones I should use or which ones I should avoid? Thanks in advance!!
June 24, 201511 yr I would definitely recommend Wordpress; It has a large range of free and premium themes for you ready to go, the largest range on the market out there, it has the ability to have post types (e.g. reviews and interviews), a range of user levels to which you can set different privileges (editor, admin, reader etc. e.g. to only edit 1 type of post), a ton of plugins (for polls, live streams) and also supports all types of media be it video, audio or image. If you are building this from scratch, wordpress has by far the largest user base and a great codex to read, so if you encounter any problems a simple google search will most likely get you the answer, unlike drupal, which although it has its advantages (as does wordpress) - it has a smaller community so less support. Wordpress is definitely the way to go.
