As technology is growing beyond our thinking, the exasperation from web technologies is growing with the CMS or content
management systems, like Magento, WordPress, Joomla, and Drupal. In the recent
years many new CMS has invented to make competition for the best content
management award. But if you really have your ear to the ground, it is very
tough to decide the conqueror among them.
Selecting the proper content management system can create a huge collision on how you are going to
develop and manage your website. CMS varies from the very easy to the very
multifarious, from user-friendly to developer-friendly and from free to
relatively costly.
Types of CMS Websites
There are 3 types of CMS:
- Web CMS (It is used to manage the website content.)
- Component CMS (It is used for authoring, approving and version the content)
- Enterprise CMS (It is used to deal with huge data of bigger enterprise)
Here I am going to explain the 5 types of CMS. So here we
go:
Expression Engine
It is a PHP based content
management system from Ellis Lab which totally concentrated and designed for
deploying sites those who have heavy content. It is extremely flexible and user
friendly as well.
Concrete5
Concrete5 is less flexible than Expression engine. It is an
open source based CMS but the most interesting thing which makes it more
popular i.e. it is more user friendly to the users who don’t know coding.
Habari
It is also an open source CMS which claims itself as a
“next-generation publishing platform and application framework.” It is very
easy to install, support sufficient to design sites especially business sites.
Perch
This is a very snooping and portable CMS as you can add PHP
tags within the code of an existing site from Perch’s interface instead of
design a website new by this CMS.
Statamic
Statamic is one of the advanced types of content management
systems which concentrate on creating static content to reduce the headache of
generating dynamic pages.
Some of the advantages
of using CMS website are as follows:
1) Centralized System: A Centralized system grasps
all of your data into one unity which functions like a centralized repository
system for website development. It
helps from the disaster and without this data might get scattered which
resulting in redundancy.
2) Exactness: All you need to store the content in
CMS only once at a time and it can be reused many times giving vast scope in
usage. Apart from that, CMS keeps the update of content reuse and significant
updates of the content which keep the content updated and accurate.
3) Privacy in Usage: By conveying user rights, it is
effortless to keep the data protected so that only authorized persons are
allowed to check over the
content.
4) SEO Friendly: It is the best practice for SEO
(search engine optimization) like meaningful URLs, insertion of page titles,
correct metadata etc. are common with the use of CMS.
5) Affordable Price: Content Management Platforms for
website development like Drupal, WordPress, Joomla are very affordable as well
as flexible.
