Are You a Good Candidate for a CMS? - Part 2

Continued from our previous article, here are the bottom-line benefits and a self-assesment.

What are the bottom-line benefits of a content management system?

• More expedient updates to site content.
• Content owners have Web access to make changes and publish directly to site or to a staging server.
• No need to know HTML to publish content - and keep the content in the proper format (using existing templates).
• Workflow accountability. Authoring, editing, publishing and more user responsibilities can be assigned to specific pages or sections of the site's content.
• Having content version control means that any edits made in error can be easily backed out.

Self-assessment: You're a good candidate for a CMS if...

• You no longer want to be dependent on IT Staff or contract Web designers making Web site changes for you.
• You want to be able to make changes at any time - 24 / 7 - from anywhere.
• You need a system that allows anyone (even those who are not tech-savvy) to manage and update content on the site.
• You want to be able to manage who can author, edit and publish content on pages and / or sections.
• You want a solution that helps to ensure all pages have consistent layouts.
• You want a solution that will grow with your business.
