    Besides wordpress I would recommend Drupal but I still believe that WP is better for what you want to do.

    You might want to look into Joomla. I love that CMS.

    Try reading this article, it really breaks down the differences between joomla, drupal, and WP. It's what I used to figure out which is best (I went with WP).

    Try CMS Made Simple. It's not as popular as any of the above but for my money it is way easier to use once you get used to it.

    Hi Ebrar

    a) what do you want to do with the page? It's like asking "I'm looking for the right car, which one shall I buy?" - we need more specific information.

    b) Any specific reason why not WP? for 99% of all SB pages it's the easiest solution.

    Cheers
    Rob

    I would recommend you Joomla because is simply and powerfull. Joomla is easy to use and update, even a beginner can work with Joomla, but has a lots of features if you need. Installing Joomla is simple and fast, you can configure in a few minutes. There are several very powerful components available to extend Joomla's ecommerce functionality.

      wordpress is the best because it has more powerful plugin and is very easy to maintain.
