Compare Fork CMS vs. Joomla!

Fork CMS is a new take on PHP CMSes. Built on a contemporary base that is a customised version of the Symfony2 framework, this is a challenger to keep note of.

Joomla! is one of the big three PHP CMSes. Currently it uses only a single component from the Symfony project. Joomla remains a strong contender with a large number of users and extensions.

• A fresh start, no legacy baggage
• A clean user interface
• Fully featured for marketing sites

• Large developer and user base
• Plenty of ready made extensions available
• Tried and tested basic concepts

• Not a 100% standard Symfony Framework app
• Limited adoption
• Public REST APIs not a priority

• Administration can be confusing
• Lack of focus, tries to do everything
• Codebase is a mix of old and new
