Hi,
I’m using CMS at my signature website. I think it is pretty well indexed. Almost all good CMS have the option to generate html pages and/or search engine friendly URL’s.
I’ve tried a lot of CMS and almost all can generate html content, although all they approach the issue in different ways.
In PHP Nuke and Post Nuke you have to deal with htaccess and mod_rewrite to generate these pages. If you look at the webpages of these CMS’ you’ll find information about this.
Mambo as far as I know has a simple option to generate html pages.
Xaraya is what I use and it has a very simple approach to the issue. It does not generate page with a .html extension, it generates friendly URL’s without strings attached. Xaraya is the most flexible CMS but it is also the most complex sytem, because of all the functionality it has. It’s an excellent script but you will have to deal with all template system with variables attached to it, and with a dynamic data way of creating publications with a complex cross reference system.
Mambo may be a good option since it is not hard to set up and is very good on your friendly pages.
Mambo does have that option, but it doesn’t seem to work on IIS servers. I can get it to work on Linux without issue, but not on MS and that is what I am using for servers.
arghhh…IIS servers. I think all these CMS I spoke about work on linux systems and not on IIS. Maybe it’s time to change your servers. I’m not a specialist but as far as I know, linux is far better than IIS, and almost all good scripts are for linux and also free.
