Yes, with internet literacy levels rising, bi-lingual websites and multilingual SEO gaining steam, it is quite natural that the demand for open source content management systems will escalate. Businesses both big and small would require robust, scalable systems that have the capability to handle high traffic loads and can offer good analysis of traffic that is coming on to the portals.
What users expect from a CMS
- Enterprise or individual users expect the content management system to be convenient, easy to use and customizable. Users want to control everything: fonts, colour themes, backgrounds, navigation and want to change the entire look and feel of the website every few months in order to give it a new look and feel. They want their company’s website and the brand to acquire a fresh identity by being in tune with the changing times.
- There are a lot of CMS available in the market but you need to use the ones that can be used by one and all in the organization. Pick only that CMS which requires the minimum time to train and does not have license fees hassles. You can ask in your professional circle about the kind of CMS, they have been using in their company.
- Open source CMS development in India is currently being offered by many vendors in the IT-hubs of Gurgaon and Bangalore. And even global companies have outsourced their CMS development to India given the high quality of English speaking technically skilled manpower that is available in India.
Perfect as a collaboration tool
CMS is perfect as a collaboration tool when there are multiple people working on a project and they all have to be updated about the changing requirements of a project. Once the sales or the client servicing team uploads information about a new website to be developed; the content team, web design team and the programming team take note of it and allocate their tasks accordingly. The end product can be uploaded into the content management system for the client to view and offer its feedback.
Webmasters can upload content on a minute-by minute basis and see the analysis of the traffic coming on to the newly built websites using the web analytics tools being offered by the CMS. Based on the quality of traffic coming on to the portals, the design, content and layout can be changed to ensure more customers spend time on the portals.
