Nothing irks a non-tech savvy person so much as an “opportunity” to manage his website him- or herself: creating each page individually from a template, copying the file to the FTP server, placing links from other pages manually and what not.
That’s what keeps content management systems alive: they make the whole process of building and managing website easy for a non-developer type of person. In this post, you can learn how to choose the right content management for yourself and your website.
What is a content management system?
A content management system is the web software that lets you create a website without knowing any web programming skills, such as HTML, CSS, PHP, MySQL and such. Instead, you can put up a website by simply pasting your post/article from the Notepad and pressing the “Publish” button.
Normally, CMSs have their own structure, such as blogs (blogging software), forums (forum software) and general content management systems, such as Joomla, etc. However, there are other systems that let you create your own site structure and layout, such as Drupal.
Before we go into picking the system, you need to define what you need before doing anything.
How does your intranet compare with those of other companies? It can be difficult to know, since intranets are typically inaccessible to those outside the company. That's why a recent survey of global intranet use and trends compiled by Intranet Dashboard should find interest with any developer.
Intranet Dashboard timed the Global Intranet Benchmarking Survey to coincide with the 2.0 release of its award-winning intranet creation software. The company surveyed a global audience, with over half of respondents (53 percent) in Australia, where Intranet Dashboard is based. Only 18 percent of respondents were in North America.
Cautious about new features
The Intranet Dashboard survey asked questions about what features companies offered on their intranets, what tools were most useful, what they plan to add, and who at their company controls the intranet. As a whole, the responses suggest that most companies are cautious about adding new features -- even collaboration tools that generate a lot of hype in the press -- until they're certain they makes sense for their business.
Packt's annual Open Source Content Management System (CMS) Award reached its climax with the announcement that Drupal has won the Overall category, collecting a first prize of $US5,000. Three months after it was launched and a staggering 20,000 votes later, Drupal finished ahead of Joomla! and DotNetNuke to retain the Award it won in 2007.
Released as an Open Source project by founder Dries Buytaert in 2001, Drupal has grown substantially and has been downloaded almost 1.5 million times in the last 12 months. It is currently being applied by companies such as Warner Brothers Music, MTV UK, and the New York Observer amongst others.
"These awards are a testament to the valuable contributions from dedicated Drupal community members around the globe" said Buytaert in response to the news. "Working together, the Drupal community is building the future of the dynamic web so that anyone can quickly build great social publishing websites" he concluded.
