We have put together a wide range of websites that are built on CMS platforms to show you that Content Management Systems are not ?just for blogs?. These platforms are very flexible in terms of their functionality, and it really is up to you and your website designer?s imaginations what you make it to be. The examples below include social media/networking sites, eCommerce sites, newspapers and magazines, as well as corporate websites of large enterprises.
?
WordPress
One of the most popular CMS platforms, organisations love WordPress due to its customisability, and access to literally thousands of useful plugins. These plugins help you create anything from e-commerce sites, to review sites, to news sites, and more. Examples include:
Ford Social (Social Networking)
A site for all things motoring. We like the way this site puts the reader at the centre of a great community of people who simply love Ford. The ability to submit your own stories adds another level of making the site your own.
The Wall Street Journal (News)
Powerful content from a powerhouse in publishing. WordPress allows the Wall Street Journal to quickly create localized, mini versions of WSJ.com in different languages. For example, they have a successful ?realtime? blog series and can create individual country blogs such as India realtime or China realtime in just a few hours.
Network Solutions (eCommerce)
This provider of web solutions has maintained an ongoing blog since 2004, helping to keep readers updated on their latest products, industry trends and provide advice on managing an online presence.
?
Joomla
The following are some website examples that utilise Jooma, which is ideal for community platforms, and sites with strong social networking features.
MTV Networks Quizilla (Social networking)
Quizilla is an online service for visitors to easily make free quizzes that they can share with their friends. The Joomla platform allows the company to automate and self-service the entire process of making a quiz, and has even expanded to include short stories, song lyrics, and games.
IHOP (Restaurant chain)
The Joomla platform powers a highly dynamic front page for this restaurant chain with rich video reels, language switching, and social media integration.
Harvard University (Educational)
A wealth of course information for prospective students and alumni are included in this site. Rather than go many levels deep, the site offers detailed information across nearly 60 courses, functioning as a Launchpad allowing readers to jump to the website of the faculty of their choice.
?
Drupal
Drupal requires the most technical expertise versus the other two CMS platforms above. However, it also is capable of producing the most advanced sites, and is ideal for websites that require complex data organisation. Some website examples using Drupal include:
US Weekly (Magazine)
An example of extensive customisation in action. This hugely interactive portal offers celebrity gossip, polls, fashion contests, all laid out as a gorgeous online magazine.
Oxfam International (Social Enterprise)
A site customised to encourage donations and participation, with the ability to add special campaigns on conservation and philanthropy.
Universal Music (Corporate)
This site keeps track of the activities of nearly 50 popular artists, with links to their videos, news, concerts, and more, while also providing visitors with a storefront to purchase merchandise.
?
The examples above are just the tip of the iceberg of websites using the top three most popular CMSes. We hope that these examples will provide you with some inspiration towards creating your very own business website, regardless of the CMS platform that you may choose.?
