Every business, whether it is a mom-and-pop shop, or a Fortune 500 company, needs an online presence. It may take the form of a website, an intranet or perhaps a mobile application. Whatever your online presence is, you will need a way to update the content.
This is where a Content Management System (CMS) will be your best friend. In the simplest of terms, a CMS is an application that allows you to build, update and manage data without having to dig into the code and manually edit the content.
Having options is great… except when having to many makes it difficult to choose the right one and trust us there are plenty of CMS to choose from, each offering different CMS features to support your content strategy. Don’t worry, we are here to refine those choices and help you find the right content management system for your business, highlighting the key features that matter most.
First let’s get a lay of the land and see the general types of CMS that are out there, since different CMS platforms offer unique strengths depending on business needs.
Remember that these are only some of the general categories that are out there and some of these cross over. For example, an Open-Source CMS can also be Headless CMS.
As you can see each category of CMS has its pros and cons. Depending on the type of business you are in, some of the cons in one category might be a pro in another. For example, a company already using an existing CMS may prefer a platform that integrates with existing tools to avoid unnecessary rebuilds. So before going any further lets figure out what type of business you are in.
Below are three basic categories of business requirements you may fall under. We are focusing on your business needs as opposed to the type of business you conduct.
For Business A, a drag-and-drop CMS like Webflow, Squarespace, or Wix might suffice, but they offer limited custom logic integration.
If you gravitate more towards being Business C, then stop right there. What it sounds like you are looking for is a Custom Web application and not a CMS. We have built several successful applications for our clients including HERE and HERE. Please reach out to SALEs OR SALES to get more information on how we can help your business grow.
If however, you fall under Business B then you are in the right place. Furthermore, we feel that we have the perfect CMS for you.
