Unless buyer stated they want to used prebuilt CMS, i rather create them from scracth since it's more spesific to their neeeds and simpler.

I usually face many problems with these pre-made content management systems. I also don't always understand how everything fits together. (in some cases)

I usually build everything from scratch...but if you were to use a pre-made content management system, I'd recommend Joomla. (it also validates nicely.)

Joomla is the way to go.. Higly configurable, and custom coding as well as designing is easy once you get the hang of it...

But then again, it would depend on what the client would prefer. But I think using an Open Source base (like Joomla that is pretty secure) and then modifying it to suit your requirements is the way to go.

Nice pool,

I'm not using any open source cms or even a pre-made code.
I prefer to work only with code written by myself. I'm working with OO code, so i've wrote a kernel/framework (many classes to handle the work with different parts of the project such as database, template system, form validation...), so it's easy for me to use my kernel/framework and to build the site with it.

So maybe i should vote for 'I Do PHP from Scratch.' :rolleyes:

Where's the option "I don't do PHP" ? ;-)

Depending on the client's needs, I usually find that I can limit myself to Joomla and Wordpress. I have very rarely come across any project that requires a custom CMS -- and even then it doesn't take me long to write.

I've got a lot of code lying around I can easily plug in an dget the job done.
