I’m developing a small business website and want to give some control over content to the client but also allow myself control over the outputted code. Indeed allow the user to fill in the content gaps while not creating havoc.
I’m leaning towards WordPress rather than reinventing the wheel in asp.net, which would be my code of choice, or possibly just html.
Any recommendations either way? An alternative CMS maybe or some robust but productive framework? (interested in mention of python frameworks)

As mentioned Umbraco is a really good and capable open source ASP.NET CMS. v4 (which just hit beta 2) has some really nice features including in-page editing and a neat package repository. The API does leave a bit to be desired if you want to do my code interaction but I’m working on resolving this with a project of my own.

For a True CMS I can recommend you Joomla, Drupal and SimpleCMS.
For Blogging Wordpress is in the best.

Joomla is seriously one of the worst CMS out there, I would strongly recommend you go another direction.

After managing a Drupal site for a while, I settled into Plone 3 and never looked back.
We still have the Drupal site but it’s rarely used. So much more is achieved, achievable with Plone. Keywords ’rounded’ and ‘cohesive’ come to mind.

If you want to know more CMS, your can visit this website: CMS Matrix. You’ll found a a lot.
Wordpress does fit simple CMS requirement, simple usage, friendly user interface, and easy to extends. Be careful when choosing CMS, some of them may have too many feature and too complex for simple use.
I was once setup a typo3, and failed to teach user how to use it. Then I move to wordpress.

The answer depends on the requirements. WordPress can be an excellent choice if your customer’s budget is very low
If they have some more budget and want something more, the take a look at the CMSes listed above. For ASP.NET I’ve used SiteCore and SiteFinity and have liked both because they allow a lot of flexibility over design and content. Plus, if I need to I can just get into the code and add my own user control to get something hard done.

Hmm. Too bad nobody said symphony yet.
The only reason to use wordpress is the nice looking admin interface, the code is poorly written and only pointed at blogs. It is possible to use WP as a ‘real’ cms, but not without hacking the core, or hacking away in templates.

WordPress fits well for a blogging setting and is relatively easy to adapt. I tried Drupal but I couldn’t get it to play well. I’m still considering what CMS functions best with a workflow of translators in multiple languages.

Although I’ve not used it, I’ve heard that Microsoft Orchard is pretty good.

This post is somewhat old, but I just found it today (12-19-2011).
The first CMS I found was Joomla, which I felt was great for a very short time. Dupral, evern shorter. Joomla is a click this, click that nightmare, and really doesnt offer much more than wordpress. Dupral is a clone, so I really see no point in using it.
Ultimately I used Wordpress for numerous sites, ranging from photo galleries to eCommerce sites. And the sites have performed well, for years.
Most clients are concerned with appearance, and the ones who do make their own changes have no problem using wordpress.
But now I am seeking something “better”? Something that allows more design flexability. Something I can do more with. Plus I have yet to find a Wordpress utility for making custom themes that actually look custom. Artisteer generates themes, but what can I say, they all look alike.
I recently tried Concrete5, and its ok, but still not a developers dream solution.
Next I plan to try several of the other CMSs listed on this page, with hopes to find something that will work for both me, and the end user. So if such a beast exists, I will capture it, and never look back. Then again, Id have to say, Wordpress will be around for a long time.
