CMS (from the English\nContent Management System – \u201ccontent management system\u201d, \u201cengine\u201d) is an\ninformation system or computer program for providing and organizing a joint\nprocess of creating, editing and managing content.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, CMS is\na set of scripts (special programs) used to significantly simplify the work\nwith the site, as well as to implement additional functionality. For example,\nfor online stores, this is a shopping cart, site search, product sorting, and\nso on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The site, of course,\ncan work without CMS (initially all the sites on the Web worked exactly like\nthis). To do this, simply create a set of individual HTML files and images.\nHowever, in this case, to correct any element (for example, to move the logo a\nlittle to the left), you will have to adjust all or part of the files manually.\nOf course, for small sites it will be easy to do, but there may be difficulties\nwith promotion and technical support.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fact is that\nsearch engine algorithms for a good ranking of the site require its\ndevelopment, including an increase in the number of pages, and hence an\nincrease in the number of individual HTML files. Obviously, in time to make\nchanges to such a site will become very difficult.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, is CMS needed for\nthe site? Yes, I need it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which CMS to choose?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

First you need to\ndecide: use a paid CMS or use a free one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Which CMS to choose for the site<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Let’s analyze together\nthe most basic advantages and disadvantages of free and paid CMS.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Easy editing<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Free CMS are distributed with open source, that is, any programmer can add there new modules, extensions, add-ons or personal improvements. In this case, all changes in the code will be made at your own risk. Also a big plus is the large amount of additional information on the source code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For paid CMS, the code\ncan be closed, that is, the programmer will not be able to change it freely. On\nthe one hand, this limits the possibilities for refinement, on the other hand,\nit increases the stability of the system. Another advantage is that paid CMS\nhave technical support (TP), which will help in case of difficulties. It should\nbe noted that technical support of sites usually considers only problems known\nto them. If you need to add unique functionality, you can count on a maximum of\nlinks to the official documentation for developers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Additional modules<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Paid CMS usually has editions in which the buyer chooses the initial set of functionality himself or may later purchase additional modules. For example

Compra Zitromax Online<\/a><\/p> , 1C-Bitrix has its own add-on store, accessible from the admin panel.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In some free CMS, such as, for example, Joomla !<\/a>, MODx<\/a>, OpenCart<\/a>, WordPress<\/a>, it is possible to find the ready source code of any additional functionality.<\/p>\n\r\n
