I'd like to create a website where people can post artworks they create, open for ratings and categorized by their vote count.
Would a certain CMS be good for it or should I try coding one from scratch?
WordPress should be good enough
Joomla is a very verbose and well supported open source free CMS.

I have a personal website which built on WordPress. Now, I'm going to create a simple iOS app for it which enables my readers to read and comment on the posts, view the archive, ... usual stuff.
Since I'm using WordPress and my website is something very common, I was wondering if there are any free out of the box toolbox or something for this purpose?
Are you using WPTouch already?

Did you find :

and the whole project:

I hope it will save you a lot of work ;-)
I recently started learning about drupal integration and because I wanted to learn how to create sites that I give to people with no html experience who want to be able to update their site. Through my research I learned that Drupal is the best supported CMS. It really does have a lot of nice features and accomplishes the job, but it almost has too many features for what I want.
I'm assuming there is some kind of open-source software for
I am an aspiring web developer trying to build my portfolio/gain experience. What I've been trying to do is build sites for clients that I can lose complete contact with--so when their store hours change and they have no HTML experience, I get emails about updating their site.
I figure there are three approaches: (tell me if there are more)
I write a php app that allows them to edit their site
I use a CMS (Drupal) to let them edit their site
I write scripts that embed text files formatted with {white-space: pre;}
I've so far implemented each method on 3 different sites, and they all work with drawbacks. I would prefer an open-source alternative to writing my own app for stability/security. Drupal seems more oriented towards allowing multiple users to add content, whereas I only want one user update existing content. The third option works well for computer-literate clients, but anyone who can navigate onto their server to change the file could probably figure out how to update the site without any of these approaches.
To sum up my problem, can anyone tell me the term I am looking for? Content Management System refers to the site framework for sites with a growing number of content posts (correct me if I'm wrong). What is the term for the site framework for editing sites with predefined but editable pages? If you could please tell me that, then I can at least research this question on my own. Otherwise, if you have any advice or solutions, they are much appreciated!
Thanks
user1470887, you've asked a great question. The answer, unfortunately, is that too many of the existing CMS products overlook this use case. It doesn't have an exact name as far as I know.
The term "in-place editing" describes one version of this (user clicks text on web page, block of text becomes a form, user edits contents and presses submit button, new text is sent to webserver and saved, and the form becomes normal text again). But I gather you would be happy with anything that lets them edit-existing but not create-new.
I'm also guessing you don't want to build your own Drupal module or commission one.
I do not know Drupal well enough to know whether there's a Drupal module that meets your needs. I'd recommend a careful search, though, especially if you are already somewhat familiar with Drupal. (Yes, Drupal can seem like too much CMS at times.)
However ... if you can't find a Drupal solution or want an alternative to Drupal, MODX Revolution does have an answer: set it up and then install Bob Ray's NewsPublisher add-on. It will put an "edit" button on pages which a user has the right to edit, but not on pages where they don't have edit rights. (And of course users will only be able to edit the title, body content etc - not the entire page.)
Bob Ray has literally written the book on MODX (MODX: The Official Guide). I was able to successfully adapt NewsPublisher to a project last year similar to what you have described, with predefined pages that the user would only need to edit over time. The latest NewsPublisher version, untested by me, is said to be further improved and can now be styled much more easily using CSS. That should allow you to give your users a customised and consistent interface.
As andmag also notes, MODX is a very flexible system for web developers focused on the presentation layer. It has the best templating system going.
I'll recomend you to try MODX. It gives you big flexibility to run your php or html code.
Is there an existing CMS similar to what the WebPage Maker software can do? For those who don't know what WebPage Maker is, it's a webpage authoring software that features drag and drop functionality which allows users with minimal to no knowledge about HTML, to easily create webpages and publish it to their sites. I want to know if there's a CMS that does the same as this software already?
WebPage Maker's website is http://www.webpage-maker.com/
P.S.
I'm looking for something that I can implement on websites that I make.
You can give mojomotor a try.. It is a paid one. You need to login as admin and then click on the page and edit. The same is possible for small layout changes too.
If you willing to learn some basic installation of other CMS rather than webpage maker, i suggest you use Joomla CMS.

It's very easy to use, hv a try =)
I'm working on a few sites for professional photographers who want to be able to update on their own. I'm looking for a simple CMS solution that has very basic functionality as a gallery and is easy for them to work with. My main concern is with ordering images--I'd like for them to be able to drag their thumbnails around and lock the order. I suspect there is an existing solution out there and am looking for recommendations. I've seen something like this driven by Flash for Flash sites, but I don't know the name of it. I'm looking for something that is similar, but not Flash.
Photogallery tikiti is nice http://www.rocky.nu/photogallery/
I used wordpress and the dm_albums plugin for this site http://www.arkphotography.co.uk
I found dm_albums easy to use, and so did the photographer who had little experience of using wordpress and none of using dm_albums.
We are trying to build a media sharing site. I want to use existing commercial or open source frameworks if they are available.
I saw some sites like:
http://www.phpmotion.com/
http://www.jamroom.net
http://www.clip-share.com/
http://www.videoscript.us
http://www.vidiscript.com/
http://www.alstrasoft.com/videoshare.htm
Are there any good open source (or) commercial packages that I am missing out? I want the media site to stream normal as well as HD content and integrate with a payment gateway when the user wants to view HD.
I am the primary developer of Jamroom (http://www.jamroom.net) - while Jamroom is a commercially licensed system, it is "open source" in the fact that we do not encrypt the PHP code in any way, and our license allows for full modifications to suit your needs.
Let me know if you have any questions and I can follow up. Thanks!
Brian
I will research your listed sites. i will come back with good one.
There is available one more [video sharing script: http://www.rayzz.net/index.php][1]
