In response to this thread: https://www.nairaland.com/2287661/why-nigerians-love-cms-plugins It is good to note that it's not only Nigerians that love CMS, Framwork or Plugins. It's a global phenomenon. The point is DON'T EVER RE-INVENT THE WHEEL! Unless there is something outrighly different [/b]you want to offer. CMS or Framework is not a bad idea. If you have ever used Microsoft Word to type a letter, then you have used a CMS. If you have ever used Photoshop to crop your picture, then you have used a CMS. Just imagine developing your own Word Editor like MS Word just to type a letter. The problem we should be looking at is: [b]Our inability to make CMS, Framework or plugins better. We should not just use wordpress and joomla basically. We should learn how to unleash the powers of wordpress and joomla by forking them and turning them around to achieve amazing things. Mashable.com was using wordpress. Mashable is one of the biggest blogs in the world. It was later that they developed a custom cms for their blog. New York Times blog is running on A CMS (wordpress). The official website of the government of USA is running on a CMS (drupal). Even facebook (http://newsroom.fb.com/), google (http://www.gv.com/), mozilla (https://blog.mozilla.org/), and blackberry (http://blogs.blackberry.com/) are using a CMS (wordpress) in their blogs. Why didn't they develop a blog cms for their blogs? That will not important since there is a good one on ground. Here are 22 GREAT WEBSITES running on a CMS (wordpress): http://techcrunch.com/ http://www.newyorker.com/ http://www.bbcamerica.com/ http://variety.com/ http://www.sonymusic.com/ http://www.beyonce.com/ http://blog.ebay.com/ http://blog.us.playstation.com/ http://www.blogs.xerox.com/ http://www.bata.com/ http://stores.bestbuy.com/577/ http://qz.com/ http://product.espn.com/ http://lumiaconversations.microsoft.com/ https://social.ford.com/content/fordsocial/en/home-page.html http://fortune.com/ http://newsroom.fb.com/ http://marksandspencerforbusiness.com/ http://www.gv.com/ https://hbr.org/ http://larrykinglive.blogs.cnn.com/ http://blogs.blackberry.com/ NOW THE BIG ONE!!! 30 Insanely Awesome Websites using WordPress as a CMS SEE THE AWESOME WEBSITES HERE: http://www.1stwebdesigner.com/awesome-websites-wordpress-as-a-cms/ What I will challenge every web developer in Nigeria is to learn the in and out, hooks and functions of some of these CMSes and start developing themes, templates and plugins for them. As technology evolves, web development will continue to be easier. It will amount to taking people back to the stone age to insist on coding from scratch for every project. Thank you. 18 Likes 2 Shares |

The environment in Nigeria does not just encourage such endeavour. You would spend time designing something that another would just couple together and get the contract at a cheaper price. Only big corporation that understands cyber security would invest in such venture, the rest would just pick the lowest bidder. But too much pluggins in WordPress based sites do slow them down and even prevent some from loading in some browser. Check out www.ityunit.com, a blog that has been optimized to load fast on any browser (with minimal pluggins and scripts) and compare with others |

CMS has made Web design easy. You don't have to crack your brain learning programming or coding languages before building a site. It's as easy now as copy and paste. However I am of the opinion that CMS shouldn't make us lazy. It's still important to have, atleast, a rudimentary knowledge of HTML, PHP & MYSQL just in case. |

It takes a programmer to develop a tool. Most Nigerian website developers are not programmers ....no basic programming education . I work with many of them. I know of a secondary school boy who learnt php and joomla..when I speak to him, its like I am speaking in tongues. 2 Likes |

CreativeWeb:Fixed. I was finding a to way explain it , but you have done justice to it. To me the only issues with CMS sites is their low security status compared to sites coded from scratch with some other advanced technologies, even at that it doesn't mean cms sites are always vulnerable it only means that more security fortifications are required in most of them. gret response. |

What the originator of the former thread never considered was that the cost of developing a software is not as much as the cost of maintenance and support. He should go ask companies like Ellislab the creator of CodeIgniter framework, they later release it under the MIT license where it was moved to github simply because they discovered that the cost of managing it superseded the revenue they were generating. And finally Free and Open source software doesn't mean its a free useless software, FOSS is a business model. 1 Like 1 Share |

ITbomb: I don't agree with that point. Http://iamkizito.com is built on WP, over 20 plugins under the hood, hosted at name cheap (slow namecheap), page size of 1.1mb, yet page load time of less than 1sec (667ms approx.) So as the OP pointed out, its all about manipulating the CMS to taste, not reinventing the wheel. Nice blog you've got btw Cheers 1 Like

CreativeWeb:Please explain better to me how the decision of these companies to use cms justifies your opinion? Does the fact that Obama uses a blackberry phone make blackberry the best of all choices? Who says these companies/organizations can't make bad decisions too? Do most of them even know anything about what's going on in their website backends ? Who knows if some just contact the most readily available techies around to design those stuffs for them. They just want to see a website up and running quick, who says they care much about how it's built? What objectionists are saying in brief context is that, Nigerians have not gotten to that point where we should be using cms's . Before these white guys started using cms softwares they've been coding from scratch so why can't Nigerians learn the rudiments from scratch before venturing into cms packages even if they are going to eventually use cms? Most of the cms programmers in Nigeria know no jack about programming and they go about parading themselves as programmers. Some can't even write common html. This is why it takes them months or even years for them to fix when stuffs goes wrong. Do you know why most of these websites fall easy victim to hackers? The reason isn't far fetched from the fact that their codes are familiar (which makes it easier to find loopholes). For so long now only a few nigerians have ever done something creative on the Web even when most of them have brilliant idea, and you know why? because of their inability to convert their ideas to reality through codes. If your idea is unique, you definitely won't find its cms code anywhere. There's nothing bad in cms packages though if you're building a general stuff like blogs, news site,forums but nothing beats a website created to your own taste. It's easier to fix when things go wrong and usually load time is 5x faster. . One more reason why I hate cms is it's bloated code structure. Too many unnecessary stuffs 2 Likes 1 Share |
