THINGS TO LOOK OUT FOR, BEFORE

CHOOSING A POTENTIAL OPEN

SOURCE CMS

• There are three primary open-source CMS’s,

preferred by businesses, whether it is to

establish a sophisticated multimedia content or

to furnish a basic user forum, one of these three

platforms will offer the capabilities one needs.

Millions of websites are structured based on

these free, open source CMS’s, with each

offering a variety of functionality and style.

• However, it is important to

consider a few things before

choosing one of these three

Content Management Systems.

• Seamless Integration with third party

Applications:

• Today’s multifunctional enterprise platforms need

to integrate with other specialized applications

seamlessly. Although, integrating a third party

application can turn out to be a complicated task.

Hence, the CMS chosen should allow a developer

oriented, structured coding that is contrived to suit

the most complex integration requirements with

efficiency.

• Flourishing Support Environment:

• It is extremely necessary that the CMS

community associated with the chosen CMS

provides full backup for the platform to

operate easily, causing the user to focus on

the core business and not worry about a

thing. This support can be offered in a form of

chats, forums, documentation, FAQ’s, etc. A

flourishing support will ensure a speedy

resolution, to any problems caused before.

• The learning Curve:

• The tech knowledge of any user will be put to

test, if they decide to venture beyond the

user-friendly Wordpress. Installation and set

up will be the initial hurdle to deal with, if there

is no previous experience in web

development. Therefore, one needs to

choose a platform that does not leave them

puzzled.

• Designing and Customization:

• Website Designing and constructing a great

content plays a significant role in pulling traffic

to the website. Designing a unique look will

make the site stand out from the competition,

and how ambitious the design is will determine

the sophistication needed, from the CMS. It’s

advisable to be aware of trade-offs. A user-

friendly CMS might have certain limitations in

terms of designing.

• SEO:

• It’s crucial that all potential consumers will be

able to search the site easily, although, not all

CMS’s have the same Search Engine

Optimization capabilities. Plug-ins and

Extensions can improve this, but at the same

time it is vital to do some research and choose a

CMS which will improve the search engine

rankings immediately.

• Content Requirements:

• It is vital to jot down a few points, like, the kind of content that will be produced, how robust the site will be?, will be text or image heavy?, will it contain a blog?, etc. Answers to these questions will help you a great deal in deciding which Content Management System to choose, as Drupal, Joomla and Wordpressthey all induce their own strong points depending on the content they will be supporting.
