What is a Content Management System (CMS)?
A content management system (CMS) is an application used to create, manage, store, and deploy content on web pages. Web content includes text, photos, audio, video, and code. This web content helps individuals or businesses showcase their products, services, or general information with their target audience. Most major brands and business owners fail to understand the differences in CMS platforms, and have never learned how to vet and choose a CMS.
Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) CMS Example:
Many major brands are flocking to Adobe Experience Manager (AEM) because it’s being pushed as a single solution to personalization around content and customers. However, there are major issues with AEM that are detrimental to SEO, and how your website ranks on Google and other search engines. This will directly affect your site traffic and sales from a website. If you don’t know what questions to ask your CMS reps or how to fix the basic problems with AEM, then your company and brand will suffer. AEM can be customized which is excellent for SEO, but again, if you don’t know the questions to ask, your brand and website will suffer. If your brand is going through digital transformation then as a CEO, CTO, CMO, or CIO you will be the one held responsible.

The Current State of Content Management System’s
Currently, the market place for CMSs is robust and evolving. Major players like WordPress continue to dominate and evolve their platform.
27% of the websites on the internet are built on WordPress
There are many free CMSs coming into the market causing companies like Adobe, Shopify, and Wix to improve their platforms; ensuring that they can compete in the growing market place. This is great news for consumers, however, finding the right CMS can be confusing.
What Makes a Good Content Management System?
When looking for a good content management system you need to consider a few things:
- SEO: CMSs need to have the ability to be easily optimized so the content they support can be found on search engines.
- User-Friendly: CMSs need to be easy enough to use so that anyone feels confident using them to manage a website’s content.
- Cost: CMSs should be cost-effective for people who want to use them. Enterprise content management (ECM) platforms will always cost more than CMSs that are built for anyone to use.
- Security: Security is a huge problem for most CMSs and will become more and more important in the future. The content management system’s that are proven to be secure are the ones people will use to build their websites.
