“The best sites are usually made for purpose with MVC frameworks and great design. Or with free open source CMS tools. The best of these is probably WordPress. Deceptively simple and easy to make something publishable quicksmart that is adaptable; evolving into a complex systems integrating social networks or driving a campaign, or indeed a way to exhibit art.”
