PixelCrayons
IntroductionSelection of content management system is a very crucial step that needs a focused set of
planning, otherwise there could be a situation that you would have been driven away to the
wrong direction by alluring functionality of CMS design, which might be not of your use. So,
what are those factors which helps you to decide and select the CMS development service for
your website? Here are some most considerable factors of perfect CMS.
1. Core Functionality
The core functionality of any CMS is to manage the website, which means to create, add,
delete, edit and maintain the web pages. But most of the people take this functionality in a
very casual way as they think that all CMS are just meant to perform these functions only. But
there are many things related to this functionality and, therefore, it is important to have an
overall understanding of the core functionality.
2. EditorEditor is one of the main features of CMS that needs a proper attention. Actually the editor is
the interface which is used to add and edit the content. The latest editors have come up with
new approach. Editor is used by content publisher for providing heading, lists, links and all that
and has no responsibility over the appearance of blog. Editor should have the capabilities to
maintain the extra element like images and downloadable files.
3. Managing assets
Some CMS are very pathetic in terms of managing images and files. This attribute of
managing assets depends on the CMS design. If the CMS has been designed carelessly then
it directly affects the accessibility and usability of website. Images are one of the most
important items to be concerned in CMS. To manage images, it is better to select the CMS that
provides <alt=””> attributes to images. Moreover, the CMS must provide image editing tools
(cropping, resizing, rotating etc.) and also consider the functioning of CMS while uploading
PDF, world documents and other files. And how they would appear to the user?
4. Search
Every blog or website contains a search bar located mostly at the top right. This is the most
important aspect of any website as more than half of the user starts with this search option
while looking for content. But in some CMS, search functionality is somewhat not proper like
freshness, thoroughness etc.
5. CustomizationYou need to have a CMS that enables flexibility in retrieving and presenting the content. For
example the comments on any particular post can be shown in the content if required or can
be deleted if not required. In similar way, there are other functions for which customization of
website must be needed.
Your CMS need to have functionality of user feedback. Many CMS provide these functionality
or they allow third party plugins to provide these functionality. You can add the functionality like
chat, comments, ratings and forums.
6. User Interaction
7. Roles and permissionA good CMS is the one which has complete control over the blog so that one can add or
change the content, once the blog owner grants permission. For example, one can post job
advertisement but can not add content. This kind of functionality requires proper management
by CMS. So, the CMS you are going to use should have the functionality that could support
permission.
8. VersioningThis functionality is very useful in case when something posted by accident and you want to
come back on the previous page of last saved state. Actually, it is not a common functionality
and used rarely.
9. Multiple website supportIf you are able drive more than one website with a CMS from the same installation, then that
would be one of the most important features of CMS.
10. Multilingual supportYour CMS must have multilingual support either your website is targeted towards domestic
market or international market. It is beneficial in case when your product is language oriented,
you can change the language accordingly.

for your website or blog. If you need more help in CMS designing and development, you can
