Pros and cons of an open source CMS system
The market is filled with various cms systems. Some systems are so called open source systems. Open source means that source code to the system is freely available, so anyone can modify and customize the system as they please. Meanwhile, open source systems for free, and is therefore among the most widespread and used cms systems on the network. In this article we look closely at a number of considerations you should do you until you select a free
cms system.
The backbone must act
A cms system is your website's main artery. Therefore it is important that you choose the right cms system so you can avoid unnecessary and critical downtime.
Free open-source cms systems have been evolving rapidly, and can be an excellent solution for individuals. The systems are often adapted by many different users and this means that usability is in order.
But are you a business owner or responsible for a company website, so do you some other and far more critical considerations before choosing an open source cms system.
Support is not free
Although most free cms systems technically acceptable, then one can not generally say the same about the possibilities for support. If you or your website controller encounters a problem that I can not solve, it can be hard to get the necessary help because I use an open source cms system.
In other words, it is difficult to apportion responsibility for the operation when the responsibility lies with the thousands of individual users worldwide.
If you depend on running on your website it makes sense to find a CMS provider that offers support. Thus you avoid critical downtime which ultimately can cost you customers and paid dearly to learn money. And then you know where to place the responsibility for bringing the page in order if an accident occurs.
Free is not always free
There is a gap between free pleasures in life. Similarly it is with cms systems. When you download a free cms system download in principle a free starter kit. A free system requires that you can develop the system, and even program new modules as your needs evolve. If it is not something you can handle yourself, then you need to fork up in order to develop the extra features you need.
You can also wait until someone gets developed and integrated module in the next update of your free system.
When all is said and done, you must initially consider what needs you want your cms system will cover. You should also consider whether you can live with that you do not have a supplier you may complain to you when your system is not functioning.
