compliant CMS

[davikokar]

hallo the people,

I started to use DotNetNuke (is a CMS) in order to build web portals. What I realised is that all the effort I made to learn proper xhtml, accessibility and pure CSS layout were totally useless... Now, you can imagine my frustration. What makes me even more frustrated is that around in the web sometime I do find portals properly made... I always wonder: what kind of CMS tool do they use? Some of you have an idea about this?

Thank you for informing the HTML & CSS forum's 25192 member that you find our knowledge useless.

Please post this in forum1246. Maybe there you will find someone to agree.

feherke,

you misunderstood what I actually wanted to say, or maybe I misexpressed what I actually think.

I wanted to say: I find it difficult/impossible to build accessible and compliant websites (thing that is very important to me as developer), because of CMS tool I'm using. The question is: do you know a CMS tool that allow developer to build proper xhtml accessible websites?

Oops. I understand your point now. I am sorry.

The problem that you will find (or may have already found) is that each CMS uses its own templating system.

I've been pretty content with Drupal CMS. It is possible to design a plain page in any editor and then go back to insert the programmed blocks where you want content, menus, etc. Starting out, you will be hacking existing templates - - but once you are familiar with the system, you can work the other way around and modify the CMS to fit your original design.

I would agree you have to make a choice with the CMS stuff. I liked it and used it a lot. Now I am in school learning web development I no longer see the need for it

A CMS is good if you have a lot of the same type of content being edited or added on a regular basis or by many people and need levels of access. Not to mention most CMS programs have comments/forums/polls which can be useful. I'm actually working on one...
