WordPress vs Joomla vs Drupal - CMS Popularity War. Since the beginning of CMS “Open Source” software applications, the tides have turned on how a website development project is approached.
Before Open Source code that would handle the back-end approach to a website, users had to rely on developers and web masters to build and add content for their site. This sometimes required full time staff to work on the site around the clock. Open Source applications created a library of code that would handle all of a website editing needs by using a simple tool called a “What You See Is What Your Get”, or WYSIWYG editor. It would save content edited into a database on the server which would in turn be “called for” by the website when a page is opened. This content was not hard coded into a file like it was previous to CMS functionality. Solution e-commerce. The CMS Matrix - cmsmatrix.org - The Content Management Comparison Tool.
