4 things a good CMS should have (11/07)
When choosing a Content Management System for your company website, it is important to ensure the following:
- The CMS is web based. This means you won’t need to install any additional software on your computers, and anyone with an internet connection (and authorisation) will be able to update your website.
- Your CMS is constantly upgraded. It is preferable to automatically receive upgrades for a small annual fee, rather than being charged thousands of dollars to upgrade your CMS if it becomes extremely out of date.
- Your website can grow with your business. It is important to ensure that you can add new functions to your website (e.g. the ability to send bulk e-mail communications to registered users) as your requirements change. A good CMS should have a library of components you can choose to add at any time.
- The CMS is owned by the Web Development Company. Some Web Development Companies import Content Management Systems from the States to cut costs. While this can provide a cost effective solution, it also means that if something goes wrong with the CMS, the company you purchased it off won’t know how to fix it.
