So, why not the CMS?
![Page 35: Custom V CMS](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051610/5482d5cdb079591f0c8b4887/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
These were our aims for the site:
1. Easy to use Forms
2. Increase number applications
3. Make it a place to share
4. Build an archive of projects
5. Reflect the creativity of the projects

The CMS couldn’t do...
“Fun” formsBlogs and forumsVideo or Audio
User Generated ContentRSS feeds
![Page 56: Custom V CMS](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051610/5482d5cdb079591f0c8b4887/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
If we had used the CMS:
One BIG online form (or PDF!)
No blogs or forums, or linked to external site
Links to video and audio
No user Generated Content (unless we did a lot of cutting and pasting)
No RSS feeds
![Page 57: Custom V CMS](https://reader034.vdocuments.site/reader034/viewer/2022051610/5482d5cdb079591f0c8b4887/html5/thumbnails/57.jpg)
Or we would have had tocustomise the CMS
(again)
