For non-technical beginners who don't know how to code, it's certainly impossible to build a website from scratch by writing code. Choosing an open-source CMS system to build a website is a good alternative. Besides theWordPressrecommended by Naiba, what other open-source CMS systems are there? Naiba lists them for everyone.
Drupal
Drupal, like WordPress, is a popular CMS website building system abroad. Drupal is a free and open-source content management system created by Dries Buytaert, written in PHP. In the industry, Drupal is often regarded as a content management framework rather than a typical content management system. The entire platform treats all content as a „node“, controlled by numerous „modules“ for display, modification, arrangement, classification, etc. However, the learning curve is relatively high, which may not be suitable for complete beginners with no coding knowledge.
Joomla
Joomla! is a free, open-source content management system written in PHP, used for publishing content on the World Wide Web and intranets. It is commonly used to build commercial websites, personal blogs, information management systems, Web services, etc., and can also be extended through secondary development. Its features include page caching for improved performance, RSS feeds, printable versions of pages, news summaries, blogs, polls, site search, and language internationalization.

Typecho
This is a PHP blog program developed by Chinese. Of course, if you can write themes yourself, it can also be used to build corporate websites or CMS websites, but more users choose it to build their own blogs.
The advantage of Typecho is its lightweight and efficiency. With only 7 data tables and less than 400KB of code, it implements a complete plugin and template mechanism. Ultra-low CPU and memory usage can maximize host performance.
Advanced and stable, natively supports Markdown formatting syntax, easy to read and write. Supports BAE/GAE/SAE and other cloud hosts, easily handling sudden high traffic.
Simple and friendly, the carefully polished interface is still familiar to you, with more maturity and thoughtfulness. Every pixel is trimmed to get closer to perfection.
DedeCMS
DedeCMS is a website building program used by many veteran webmasters in China. Naiba also used it many years ago. It is very suitable for building CMS websites, and Baidu prefers it. It can generate full-site HTML static files. Unfortunately, the latest version is still from 2018, with many vulnerabilities. Beginners who cannot fix bugs themselves may often get hacked.
Empire CMS
"Empire Website Management System" is translated as "EmpireCMS" in English. It is a secure, stable, powerful, and flexible website management system based on B/S structure. It is also the choice of many veteran webmasters.
EmpireCMS has not been updated for a long time, but it has fewer vulnerabilities than Dedecms. If you can write templates yourself, using EmpireCMS will feel handy.
Hugo
Hugo is a static site generator written in Go, originally created by Steve Francia in 2013, mainly developed by Bjørn Erik Pedersen since v0.14, with contributions from developers and users worldwide. Hugo is an open-source project licensed under Apache License 2.0.
Hugo is more suitable for programmers to play with, because it generates static websites that can be directly hosted on GitHub and other static spaces, without worrying about SEO, purely for personal recording.
Halo
Halo is a modern personal independent blog system, providing an additional choice for students who are used to blogging.
Halo [ˈheɪloʊ], meaning halo. Of course, you can also read it as pinyin (哈喽).
Lightweight, concise, powerful, a blog system developed using Java.
Discuz
The once king of forum building programs. Currently, if you really want to build a forum, nothing beats Discuz. The project nearly stopped development a few years ago but has recently revived. Naiba is looking forward to the release of DiscuzQ.
PbootCMS
This CMS isn't truly fully open-source; it has encrypted core files. However, it is suitable for domestic corporate websites. Naiba has written aboutTutorial。
Alright, the above are some open-source CMS programs that Naiba has collected and shared for everyone. When building your own website, you can choose the most suitable program based on your actual situation, which can save a lot of time and improve efficiency.
