5 of the Best CMS Options for 2021
Today I will list the 5 best content management systems in my opinion. Remember, this is just my opinion, but I can assure you that the content management systems I choose often look great on the top lists.
1. WordPress — Price: Free
World's most popular website builder. 41% of the web is built on WordPress. The platform is easy to use, and you can customize it to your heart’s content using plugins and themes (of which you have thousands to choose from).
2. Drupal — Price: Free
With its flexible taxonomy system, Drupal excels when it comes to managing sites with large amounts of content. It also gives you a high degree of control over your users and their permissions, and it can even handle multilingual sites out of the box. Drupal unless you have web development experience.
3. Joomla! — Price: Free
For example, Joomla is a great option if you need to manage a lot of custom post types. Like Wordpress and Drupal, Joomla comes with large marketplaces for templates and extensions, which helps you create a website that matches your needs.
4. Grav — Free
Grav is an open source flat-file CMS. The “flat-file” designation means that Grav doesn’t require a database to operate. Instead, it queries content from text files. This makes Grav very lightweight and easy to deploy anywhere as all you need to do is upload your site’s files.
