However, the real advantage of using any software WCMS is that it provides a way for users with little knowledge of languages or markup languages to create and manage content with relative ease of programming. Unlike the site builders, a WCMS allows non-technical users make changes to a website with a little training. A WCMS typically requires a cryptographer configure and add new features, but is primarily a website maintenance tool for non-technical administrators.

In the past, WCMS before were introduced as commercial software products in the mid-90s. However, in mid-2000, the market for web content management has grown as a vast collection of new suppliers has emerged to integrate traditional suppliers. Some of these were creating WCMS open source software. So what is the Top-Three CMS that very populars today, Based on reference which i ever read, the Top three CMS are:

  1. Joomla!
  2. Drupal
  3. WordPress

Ok lets check them one by one,

Joomla!

Joomla! today is considered one of the best WCMS used in the market. Joomla! won the Packt Publishing open source content management system award in 2006 and 2007.

Another is that although Joomla! supports right-to-left languages, two-way models are non-existent, other than those shipped with the Joomla! install. Third-party developers universally model work in hardcoded LTR or RTL, despite bi-directional support complete with Joomla. Another is that components, modules or plugins that link for Joomla! are considered derivative works to link with the direction of the project and so are required to conform to the GPLv2 license also to qualify for the official Joomla! web page extensions, which caused controversy among some vendors of plugins.
