How To Choose An Effective Content Management System For Your Blog Or Website by myfidelityblog(m): 5:48pm On Feb 06, 2017
Here comes the responsibility of web owners or
who so ever is assigned a job to manage
database properly what we call as Content
Management System.
Basically, CMS is all about maintaining data of
a company through a template which is
generally a creation of a web graphic designer.
If all set for what to present , then get ready
for how to present it generates a need for
choosing an effective CMS thereby resulting in
good web traffic and increased business.
In today’s scenario where a human day
starts with a cup of tea accompanying
Internet access whether it is a social
website for refreshing or most
importantly in a need of a good content
for a purpose. So it is the ultimate duty
of a web developer, web designers,
bloggers etc to present their content to
user in an effective, organized and in a
precise manner.
For this, systematic steps are needed to attain
a fruitful business from its CMS.
First is preparing a catalog by identifying the
needs of a business from it. CMS with the
views of marketing department, users, web
designers etc to cater the needs of CMS. Once
we are ready with the abstract, the most
considered criteria should be the needs and
wants. Wants must be included but needs not
to be is a major issue while preparing a list.
Indeed some CMS are open sources but
monetary aid is a major concern by hiring a
company for the same if CMS needs to be
updated for customer satisfaction.
Secondly, systematic investigation is required to
have different CMS options.
List of various CMS needs to be maintained for
choosing the best one. For this, reference
needs to be taken from other business person
by discussing the pros and cons. Once the
search is being started, go through the CMS
companies. Choosing a large or popular CMS
should not always be the criteria.
WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, SilverStripe are
some examples of CMS companies.
Many CMS companies are open source also,
somehow if nobody in open source companies
is providing information on how to use it, then
supporting companies should be the best
option.
If the company is not engaged with IT
department, CMS expert is hired for technical
support.
Now, ask CMS vendor to show the exact
working of their CMS. Installation part needs to
be understood first carefully and efficiently.
Once finished with installation, ask for how
often it needs to be updated because updating
is an ongoing process that requires various
steps in which consistency is a big and a major
task to prevent halting a system. If you are an
e commerce website, then maintenance at a
large scale can prove curse.
Furthermore, front end and back end are
primary concern. Front end is a look-and- feel
of your website which is maintained by using a
well-designed template.
Depending on the requirements to customize
the appearance of a website, make sure that
the current template is having the features for
customization. With back end handling, ask
vendor how changes at back end will be
permissible because every business needs to
change the information as required without any
assistance.
As some of the information is not published for
public but only accessible to company
employees, so functionality of intranet must be
known. You should ask your CMS vendor
towards progressive ideas of his CMS as
business and customer grow and increase, so
for customization our requirements would able
to be fulfill or not.
Lastly, for choosing a CMS, use a sandbox
version or demo from your selected 4-5
vendors. Choose the most effective employees
for using demo in 1: n ratio of demo to people.
Instruct them to upload information and see the
changes.
Then select a CMS and prepare a deadline to
be met. Before making commitment for a longer
period, test it for some target period. After
finalizing, implement it by conducting a needful
training program for its proper use.
