An evaluation of Content Management Software Solutions


Content Management Solutions (CMS) have evolved quite a lot in the recent years. There are so many available, all with different features, it can easily be an overwhelming task for any business or a web designer to choose the right solution-fit for their project.

I took upon myself to evaluate the CMS solutions that will be ideal for a small organization, like church for example. From my research of web articles, blogs and support forums the message I get is that a fully featured CMS, that is stable with a clear roadmap for future development/feature enhancements and a commitment to support and enhance the performance aspect is probably the best way to go. Here is the tabulated evaluation matrix of some of the major elements - cost, feature set and hosting options; that were important to me.
