We're moving on up!

October 30th, 2008 by Keith Lauchlan

The results for the Packt Publishing Awards are out and CMS Made Simple has hit the number 2 spot in both the Best PHP Based Open Source CMS and Most Promising categories. Last year we came 3rd in the Overall category, which in itself was an achievement given how shy and retiring we are when it comes to self-promotion. This year we came joint 2nd with Joomla, a move which shows how the ever-improving code and an increase in community involvement have solidified our status as a rock-solid choice for professional web development.

So a huge thanks to all those who voted for us and an even bigger thanks to everybody who has contributed time, money code and resources and helped us to make CMS Made Simple the great piece of software it is. And let’s make sure we’re a smash hit at No.1 next year!

    Good work!! I’m glad for the CMSMS management and community…I think it’s well deserved, CMSMS is simple, easy to use and stable…I can’t say the same of Joomla.

    The only things though make sure you keep quality control on the 3rd part modules…

    Again, well done!!

    Well deserved and high time. I only wish I could be one of the much needed resources you speak of. But I’m afraid that for the now you’ll just have to settle for me being a much needed user, full-time evangelist, and part-time pain in the A on #cms. :)

    I really don’t get it why people actually vote for Drupal. I think it’s a highly unintuitive and ackward CMS.
