      These are the problems you get when using a CMS.

      By the way i was not saying not to use a CMS, rather thet there are trade offs in doing so.

      another reason I dont like to use them aside from SEO, is that if the client at the last moment asks for somthing outside of its capabilities, they can be hard to modify.

      good luck

        Very true. That said, CMS has benefits for web designs. Many times we have built wordpress and joomla websites for clients using an off the shelf template (telling them we we doing so). For your small local business who want a website they can update themselves without having to to employ a designer they are great. Also a great cost effective solution for clients if they are happy to use an off the shelf template

          I am using CMS for almost hundred of sites we have developed. Besides few static sites.

          We never faced any issue with SEO.

          many of our sites are ranking good.

          For Example: www.wisnetsol.com is Joomla based. And its ranking in top-10 for "Logo Design Dubai', Web Deisgn Dubai", and "SEO Dubai".

          Looks like your answer is based on assumptions, that CMS generate some bad code or make it tough for SEO.

            I dont think you read my comments correctly.

            I never said you can not ranik with CMS only that they spit out violations, obvioulsy you would do better without them.

            for example

            your site has over 18,000 violations according to Bing

            over 5,000 broken links

            over 4,000 html errors over 800 unessasary redirects leaking link juice

            800 cases of long querry strings

            over 200 canonical issues

            I will have to say that your answer is based on assumptions that joomla was good for SEO
