With Athena Internet, we want to put the maximum possible amount of flexibility and power in the hands of our customers. One big part of that is not holding back on the power and promise of modern Content Management Systems. Whether you're partial to Drupal, a Joomla! fanatic, a WordPress wizard, or a ModX or SilverStripe enthusiast, we'll give you the tools you need to build a great website! If you're unfamiliar with the various brands of CMS, here's a brief run down: The Big Three: Drupal, Joomla, and WordPressAt present, the CMS marketplace is heavily dominated by three popular open-source choices, WordPress, Drupal, and Joomla!. Each of the three have their unique selling points, and we recommend each for different uses and customer segments. Here's a summary: Drupal
Drupal is best suited to users who have some programming experience, though strong strides have been made recently in making Drupal more accessible to beginners. Click here to learn more about our Drupal Hosting services. Joomla!
We recommend Joomla! for small-to-medium sized businesses, who do not have a full-time Web Manager to handle their online presence. Joomla! is also well-suited to content-driven websites with ambitions to grow to moderate size, that need a wide assortment of features and functionality.

WordPress' speed and flexibility is what allows it to serve these diverse needs with grace and ease; it's dead-simple approach to administration puts it well within the capabilities of even the most technophobic people. We recommend WordPress for sites that will be mostly content-driven, but may need one or two additional features such as contact forms or multimedia functionality. For aspiring podcasters, the free PodPress plug-in is particularly compelling! Click here to learn more about our WordPress hosting services! An Evolving MarketThe one constant of the CMS market is change. As such, there are emerging CMS systems you might want to consider to meet your specific needs, or there might be one you're already a fan of and want to use on your next project! Whether that system is ModX, Plone, E107, Pligg, SilverStripe or one of the many other CMS solutions we haven't mentioned, we're ready for your CMS needs, and are willing to install custom extensions to our LAMP infrastructure (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) to meet your needs! Additionally, we service and support CMS solutions built on languages and frameworks such as Perl (MovableType), Python (Django), and Ruby on Rails (Railfrog) as well, so you're not limited to the PHP/MySQL side of the CMS market. If you have questions on this policy, just ask! If you'd like to "test-drive" various Content Management Systems prior to getting set up, you can try them at the Open Source CMS website, which provides demos of dozens of CMS solutions.
