The right Content Management System

Content Management Systems are web-based applications that are designed for the creation and updating of websites.

How important is selecting the right content management system (CMS)?

You’re not just choosing technology (source). You are looking for a solution that can be tailored to support the needs of your business.

For example, Obsidian Solutions offers those CMSs:

• WordPress;
• Drupal;
• Joomla;
• Typo3

WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal all offer great features, tons of customizations, ease-of-use, and strong security.

WordPress is the most popular!

According to the latest data, WordPress controls nearly 40 % of the CMS market. Wordpress is based on PHP and MySQL. It is immensely popular amongst the blogging community.

Drupal

The most difficult, but also the most powerful. It requires a familiar understanding of HTML, CSS and PHP.

Joomla

Great for e-commerce or social networking websites, but requires an understanding of technical skills. It’s powerful enough to run most websites without any problems, and it doesn’t require the same level of technical experience to run as Drupal either.

Typo3

Probably the main goal for which Typo3 was created, was its modularity and diversity. It is a flexible open source based on PHP and MySQL.

Note that you do not need to be genius to start using CMS and you can always use a service company that can deal with any problems and manage the source, adds new features and options.

There is almost no limit to the factors that must be considered before an organization decides to invest in a CMS. There are a few basic functionalities to always look for, such as an easy-to-use editor interface and intelligent search capabilities.

However, most factors depend on organization, aims, and view.

Filter them with your own expectations, your aims, and the purpose of the website.
