To create a company website, I need a user-friendly admin panel that can accomplish the following tasks:
1. Create a tree menu
2. Create an unlimited number of pages
3. Page Editor (can be used as a CMS module)
4. Create a product catalog with parameters (not an online store)
5. Ability to sort by parameters and select sorting parameters (preferably but not necessarily)

Overall, you require a standard website, and you want to know which free and reliable CMS is the easiest to use in order to minimize coding involvement.
 Additionally, since saving money on hosting is a priority, it would be preferable if everything were still cached there. An additional caching module would be nice, but not essential.

If you're looking for a website that can handle a lot of traffic through Drupal and want to avoid the complexities of coding and installation involved with Wordpress,
which has a vast selection of templates, then ModX could be a simpler option.

To simplify the process of using Drupal, one needs to possess at least an average level of knowledge.
Familiarity with coding is also important because each website is unique and may require the use of PHP. It is difficult to replicate someone else's approach without proper coding knowledge.

To obtain a product catalog that has features such as parameter filtering and product comments, one can disable the store function in Prestashop's settings.
This will result in a catalog with no prices or ordering capabilities. This solution is readily available at no cost.

I would recommend using WordPress as the free and reliable CMS for creating your company website. WordPress offers a user-friendly admin panel with a lot of flexibility and functionality to meet your requirements.

1. Creating a tree menu can be easily achieved through WordPress by using custom menus. You can create a hierarchical menu structure to organize your website pages.

2. WordPress allows you to create an unlimited number of pages. You can add, edit, and manage your pages through the admin panel without needing to write any code.

3. For page editing, WordPress has a built-in visual editor that can be extended with plugins to enhance its capabilities. This makes it a powerful CMS module for managing content on your website.

4. To create a product catalog with parameters, you can utilize custom post types and custom fields in WordPress. This will allow you to structure and display your products with specific attributes without the need for an online store functionality.

5. Sorting by parameters and selecting sorting parameters can be implemented using custom queries or plugins in WordPress. There are many plugins available that can provide advanced sorting and filtering options for your product catalog.

Regarding hosting and caching, WordPress is compatible with various caching plugins that can optimize the performance of your website and minimize the need for server resources. Additionally, you can choose a reliable hosting provider that offers built-in caching solutions to further improve the speed and efficiency of your website.
WordPress provides an intuitive and efficient platform for creating a standard company website without extensive coding involvement. Its vast community support and extensive plugin ecosystem make it a popular choice for businesses looking to establish an online presence while minimizing costs.

Choosing the best free CMS depends on your specific needs, but WordPress stands out as a popular and versatile option. It offers a user-friendly interface, extensive plugin ecosystem, and a large community for support. Joomla is another robust free CMS known for its flexibility and scalability, making it suitable for various website types. Drupal is a powerful choice for complex and highly customizable websites, although it may have a steeper learning curve. Ultimately, your selection should align with your website's requirements and your familiarity with the platform.

Choosing the best free CMS (Content Management System) depends on your specific needs, but WordPress is widely regarded as an excellent option. Its user-friendly interface, extensive plugin ecosystem, and large community support make it versatile for various websites. Joomla is another robust free CMS known for its flexibility and strong community. Drupal, though more complex, is powerful for intricate websites. For simpler projects, platforms like Wix and Weebly offer easy-to-use, free CMS solutions with drag-and-drop functionality. Evaluate features and usability to find the CMS that best suits your requirements.

Wide range of plugins to add functionalities like tree menus, page editors, product catalogs, and sorting. (e.g., Menu Maker, Elementor, WooCommerce (product catalog), WP Fastest Cache)

For a user-friendly admin panel with those features, I'd recommend checking out WordPress. It's renowned for its ease of use and vast plugin ecosystem. With plugins like "WP Tree Page View" for the tree menu, "WP Page Builder" for unlimited page creation and editing, and "WooCommerce" for the product catalog (which can be adapted for your needs without turning it into an online store), you can accomplish most of what you're looking for. As for caching, plugins like "WP Super Cache" or "W3 Total Cache" can handle that aspect efficiently. Plus, WordPress itself is free and open-source, making it a cost-effective choice for your website.
