Abstract:
There are many web-authoring software like FrontPage, Dreamweaver, etc which have been used to
develop and maintain the websites. But gradually, it became difficult to maintain and update the
websites because of their very dynamic nature and a variety of file formats. Content Management
Systems (CMS) evolved as an alternative to such web-authoring tools. There are many CMS Like
Joomla, Drupal, Mambo, Pligg, Plone, Post Nuke, Tweak, Zope etc., but this paper deals with a
comparative analysis between Joomla and Drupal. The goal of this comparative study is to find the
better CMS of the two according to various selected criteria. The criteria includes installation,
platform support, browser support, modules and extensions, documentation, support, user
management, multimedia integration, content creation and searching.
