DoNanza Trends Report Shows Most CMS Sites Use WordPress While the Largest Budgets Go to Drupal Professionals

DoNanza Trends Report Shows Most CMS Sites Use WordPress While the Largest Budgets Go to Drupal Professionals












Drupal Professionals Earns Twice as Much

Gypsum, KS (PRWEB) October 25, 2010

DoNanza, the largest search engine for Work-from-Home and Freelance Jobs, released today its quarterly State of the Work-From-Home and Freelancing Economy. DoNanza’s report reveals several key findings about how the rival CMS/Blogging platforms fared in the third quarter of 2010, most notably WordPress, Joomla and Drupal. CMS platforms enable business and individuals to launch a web site, blog or online application and to easily manage the content within. Although the platforms are known for their ease of use, launching something that is beyond basic requires professional help. In the CMS freelance world this might mean a Developer, a Graphic Designer, an SEO Expert and other professionals.

The Key CMS Findings in the DoNanza Universe are:

CMS Professional Project Demand is Showing Extraordinary Growth:

CMS project counts are growing rapidly, quarter over quarter, with an average growth of 49 percent. In Q3 2010, WordPress projects in the DoNanza Universe grew by 61 percent with Joomla growing at 38 percent and Drupal at 26 percent.

WordPress is Peerless in Terms of Demand for Professionals:

In terms of number of projects, WordPress is a clear winner, cementing its hold on the market with more than 6 times the amount of projects in comparison to Drupal. Joomla is positioned exactly in the middle in terms of number of projects.

Drupal Professionals are the Highest Earning:

Looking at the average project budget, opportunities for Drupal in the DoNanza Universe consistently came in with an average project budget of 5 that was more than twice as much as the average WordPress project with 5 and Joomla Project with a 3 budget. This makes Drupal a clear winner in terms of revenue opportunity per project.

When analyzing the type of skills required different CMS platforms call for different skills; Some platforms are easy to use, some, like Drupal, require site building freelance work, and others, like Joomla, Are into 3rd Party Development.

Demand for Site Development Skills:

“Our DoNanza Universe data verifies the belief that most people start out with WordPress on their own” said Liran Kotzer, CEO of DoNanza. “Only 18 percent of total WordPress projects are site building, while 31 percent of Drupal projects are site building. It means that with Drupal people are seeking at-home-work freelance support from the get-go and not trying to build the initial site by themselves, as with WordPress “.

Demand for 3rd Party Development Skills:

Other CMS/Blogging platform characteristics are also verified in the DoNanza data, as 29 percent of Joomla projects are 3rd party development with WordPress 3rd party work only at 16 percent and Drupal at 20 percent.

“This proves that Joomla have a very active market allowing people to create and sell the third party extensions they have created for other Joomla platform users”, said Kotzer.

“More businesses and individuals will keep using CMS platforms as a way to express themselves and do business” said Kotzer. “Currently each of the platforms has its own relative advantages, and we are curious to see how the differences between them will play out in the future. In the meantime, all of us benefit from the competition by getting much more flexible infrastructures with advanced features.”

Crossvale President Jason Sharp Speaks on Drupal at OpenCamp 2010

Posted on November 17, 2010 by admin| Leave a comment


Plano, TX (PRWEB) August 24, 2010

Crossvale, Inc. (www.crossvale.com), a leading provider of tailored integration, automation and portal solutions, announces President Jason Sharp will speak on multi-departmental authoring in Drupal at OpenCamp 2010, Aug. 27-29. OpenCamp is the Southwest’s first multi-platform web conference, combining Drupal, WordPress, Joomla, .NET, social media, and SEO expertise.

Jason Sharp, co-founder and president of Crossvale, Inc. will present Multi-Departmental Authoring in Drupal, beginning at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Aug. 29. This intermediate-level presentation offers an effective and scalable solution to a common need for large enterprises as requested on drupal.org forums: authorizing multiple groups of authors to control subsections of a multi-departmental site. The session will illustrate how authors of the same department can edit, review and publish the same subset of content without overstepping content from a different department. Sharp, an Oracle ACE and founding BEA Technical Director, has introduced innovations such as: SOA, enterprise portals, BPM, business-to-business integration, and EAI to major comanies worldwide.

“We have had the opportunity to design and deploy private enterprise portals since 2003, refining best practices and expertise for the special cases of these portals,” said Sharp. “Intranet portals for large corporations and institutions involve a slew of security policies, collaboration scenarios, content types, and legacy system integrations not typically applicable to external websites focused on public access. It is a privilege to speak at OpenCamp this year and present some of our Drupal techniques based on a comprehensive case study.”

The presentation content will highlight a rich Drupal 6 case study in which an intranet portal serving 5000 employees for a national media company headquartered in North Texas required support for authoring content across its 14 departments. Attendees will walk away with specific knowledge about key Drupal modules and best practices for supporting multiple non-technical authors of large Drupal deployments.

As previously announced, Crossvale is also a platinum sponsor of OpenCamp. The Company has championed the use of open source technologies since their inception in 2001. Crossvale CEO Conor Brankin stated, “Our sponsorship is a tremendous opportunity for Crossvale to give back to the open source community.”

OpenCamp’s sessions cover a broad range from social media to technical development, content creation, revenue generation and more. Attendees will be guided by some of the most experienced practitioners in the country, which will be advantageous for all. We encourage everyone to register at OpenCamp today and join us at this event.

Static Websites vs Content Management Systems

Posted on June 22, 2010 by admin| 1 Comment

The chances are that if you’ve ever spoken to a web designer like me you’ve heard of Static Websites and Content Management Systems before.

But just in case you haven’t here’s a definition of each.

Static Websites design and Development

Static Web design is, as the name suggests, static.  Once you’ve paid for the website the only way it will ever change is if you pay your web designer to do it or learn how to build websites yourself.

Static Websites tend to be less expensive as they don’t require as much technical expertise, time or expense to put together as a Content Mangement Website.

Content Mangement Website Web Design and Development

CMS web design is a website that you can update aspects of yourself through a Content Management System or CMS.  A CMS, in its most basic form, allows you to add, edit and remove content from your website.

Some more advanced CMS systems like Joomla, Drupal and WordPress also allows you to add latest news, send out e-newsletters to existing and new subscribers and even have a blog like this one.

Of-course, it takes time, expense and skill to develop such a system and therefore these websites tend to be more expensive but they can be worth it. Continue reading →
