Hi. I am creating an intranet site for an educational institution, and I need some help picking out the CMS that I am going to use. The site needs to be informative and collaborative, with an emphasis on blogs and encouraging idea sharing among teachers. For instance, different pages in the site will be for different departments and/or categories like Maintenance.
On each of these pages, a static content area would display semi-permanent content like forms and information that employees need to know. Immediately following this static content area would be another content area where regular updates are posted in a blog-style format. Finally, to the right of the static content and the blog style updates would be an RSS feed of the blogs of all people associated with the currently selected department.
The institutional logo would be displayed in the upper left corner. Navigation for the site would be accomplished by using tabs (for the different departments) and left-hand side links.
Is there a CMS that can let me do this?
The trouble with my specs is that all of the features that I have mentioned are usually a site-wide implementation instead of a per-page implementation. Some CMS’ have blog functionality, but they may not support having a “hybrid” page with semi-permanent content, a blog, and an RSS feed.
I am not averse to programming, but I would love to know if there is a CMS that just lets this be done in a drag ‘n drop or click and point way.
