CMS: cost effective portal system?

Hello

I have been just introduced to the concept of CMs as i was trying to build a web portal. I am looking an open source system in PHP that comes with speed and flexibility (when it comes to add new modules etc...).

I have been introduced to Ez Publish amd Mambo Site Server, anybody who have experienced the us of those CMS or Portal engine, would you please share your experience...

Thanks

Exu.

Hi Exu,
We actually sell our own CMS that we have used to run this site. It's only $139 and its called CONtent MANager v2.2. YOu can see it at www.contentconcepts.com. As for EZ publish, it doesn't look too bad. Looks like it's geared towards a more static type of web site such as a small business information site though.

I will look carefully at your content management system, thanks

If you want a free one, PHPNuke is always an option, but I personally don't like it. You have to stick to a selection of templates.

I would go with mytch's CMS or try making your own .

ive used php-nuke before, and because of its lack of well documented admin it can be hard to figure out, i would suggest paying for a CMS, one like sitecube's siteworkspro. hint, hint, nudge, nudge, plus you will be suporting devarticles, and keeping the site going.
