Frequently Asked Questions

How long has Opace been writing CMS guides and comparisons?

We have been working with content management systems since the early 2000s and publishing CMS comparisons and guides throughout that time. Our articles draw on hands-on experience across WordPress, Joomla, Drupal and modern headless platforms.

What CMS platforms do your articles and guides cover?

Our CMS guides and comparisons cover WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, Shopify, Magento, headless CMS platforms (Strapi, Payload, Contentful) and static site generators. We help businesses choose the right CMS for their specific requirements and budget.

What is the best CMS for a business website?

WordPress suits the majority due to its flexibility and plugin ecosystem. Joomla offers stronger access control, Drupal suits complex enterprise sites, and headless platforms work well for multi-channel content delivery.

What is a headless CMS?

A headless CMS separates the content backend from the frontend. Content is delivered via APIs to any frontend (website, app, kiosk), offering flexibility but requiring development expertise.

Should I migrate from one CMS to another?

Only if your current CMS is genuinely limiting your business. Migrations involve cost, risk and disruption. Plan redirects, content mapping and SEO preservation thoroughly before committing.

How do I choose between WordPress and Joomla?

WordPress suits the majority of business websites. Joomla is better for sites needing complex user permissions or multilingual content out of the box. Both are capable, and the choice should be driven by specific requirements.
