How do I know what CMS this website is using?

Yes they are, there website is f#$#ed and they want me to fix it.
They said they use a CMS but don't know what its called, it might be a custom one perhaps.

You need to get that information from them directly. According to my calculations, they are using Joomla. Let me know if I am correct...

According to the 'Built with' extension I have for Chrome, there is no CMS, although it is using PHP.

I didn't find anything either... (used Chrome as well)

Unless it is in the <meta name="generator" ... > element content attribute, browsers can't "tell" what was used to build a page/site.

The "More Information" data comes from the "standard" meta elements that are in the page.

I'll second sarahjones. My expectations would be Joomla! CMS. The error message(s) for certain actions are very identical (pretty much actually identical), and the URI seo seems similar too (clean URIs, that is).

Although, the <meta name="generator" content="x" /> shows that its "Tevada", what- or whoever that may be.

You might want to access the admin panel - granted that you may be able to do that - and see what the layout of the back-end is like. That should easily show what CMS its using.

Just because a site is written using PHP, you cannot assume that there is a specific CMS involved - there are plenty of talented programmers who can write their own PHP.

The extension I use with Chrome accurately reports what CMS is used if there is one, along with a lot of other details about what's behind a site. It returned only that it uses PHP.

Someone may want to post a few of the associated directories or a link to them, that are used with the various CMS products. That can sometimes provide a clue when all the normal markers have been removed.

EDIT: After using a couple of tricks I am of the opinion that that is not a CMS per SE but a store script with a custom skin. Some of the folders look like a really bad script I played with a few years back.

They use the Site Builder script from domain.com. You can tell by looking for their admin.

Hello friend,

You may find that its not using a CMS at all and could simply be made by their own developers or a paid for developer. Half of whats in a CMS you can get for your site anyway (rss feeds/reader - search functions - member login - articles etc )

However. Several sites I know dont necessarily run their wordpress where you'd think, it maybe site.com/folder/wp or even site.com/file/path/to/wp

So just by looking for those files you may not have much luck.

I either think its not a cms. The font looks like osCommerce default's, but the structure of the site is all custom. At first sight i thought it was an xml-flash template, but code-behind you can see is developed with custom php.

what I have evolved there is no CMS involved, its code is written in php.

If it allows the users to login and manage the content, it's a CMS.

According to me this site is not using any CMS.

It is interesting, how many sites use custom cms. I mean, what is the percentage of sites of some popular CMS and web sites on a custom cms.

Apparently people don't read or comprehend very well when someone gives the right answer..
