Re: Seeking Django vs. Joomla comparison

The previous author is right Django is a framework to build systems
and not an already built system like a Content Management System, like
Joomla. If you do want a comparison you have to compare a Django built
CMS like : http://www.django-cms.org/.

I don't know the reasons for your comparison but having used most
popular CMS systems: Wordpress, Joomla and Concrete 5: http://www.concrete5.org/
I can tell you that Concrete 5 is the easiest and quickest to setup
for the user and developer. In comparison Joomla is a headache, a
messy and hard to learn system. Just check out concrete 5 demo to see
why: http://www.concrete5.org/

You should only really consider using Django CMS (although a very good
system) if you need to add custom apps and custom functionality that
you cannot find with a system like Concrete5 and you should also have
a good grounding in Django/Python to start with in order to set the
system up and seeing as you are asking this question I assume you have
not.

I am not a salesman, I have just tried many other CMS systems and
concrete5 will make you smile at its ease of use and quick build
time :)

A comparison here Joomla/Drupal and C5:

Hope this helps you.
