How To Choose The Best Content Management System In 2024?

Over 73 million websites are built on Content Management Systems (CMS) facilitating companies to manage & publish content anytime & anywhere they want. Frankly, Content Management Systems (CMS) are budget-friendly for startups as well as for established enterprises still navigating the world of online presence. 

However, choosing the best content management system that fulfills all your needs can take time and effort. First, the selection, then figuring out what features you should add, the theme, and then the whole process of security and maintenance. 

Also, even some of the best CMS systems might require coding for advanced functionalities and features. But still, content management systems are worth it as their seamlessness and cost-effectiveness make them exceptional.

Moreover, as far as coding is concerned, you can hire a developer to deal with all the technical side for just $20-$50 per hour. Just make sure to hire the developer of that particular website content management system. For instance, if you are going for Wordpress then go for Wordpress developer, if it is Strapi then go for a Strapi developer, and so on. 

Remember hiring freelancers might cost you less but handling them can be difficult. You can also go for end-to-end software development companies. They deploy deeply vetted developers who work under the supervision of a dedicated project manager. Also offering regular maintenance and support, at more or less similar to freelance developer prices.  

So moving on, here are some of the tips and tricks for selecting CMS among the plethora of best content management systems.  Well, you might know the basics like what is a content management system and how it works. 

Without diving deep, into that, we are going to explain to you how to choose the best content management system. But if you still need to know more in detail then you can book a consultation.

How To Build A Website With A Content Management System?

But before you pick the platform that is best for your website content management you should know about the different types of content management systems.

As also stated earlier, you can select a content management system or build one as per your needs. Let’s share our example with you. One of our recent projects was with SpiderAF, we helped them with their content management system.

SpiderAF- Digital Ad Fraud Prevention

SpiderAF is an ad fraud detection that finds, halts, and secures web advertisements from invalid clicks and conversions. Thus, making their needs unique and somehow challenging to cater to. So our developers knew that they had to travel the path less followed and make a flawless plan helping them to: 

• Offer their users full digital advertising transparency.
• Allowing advertisers to monitor & track ad placement.
• Identification of fraudulent behavior & analysis of clean-fraud-free data.

Planning Phase 

Our business analysis team sat down with developers and the SpiderAF team to plan the whole development process and the integrations. After a series of meetings and upon the complete satisfaction of the SpiderAF team, we initiated the whole process. 

Furthermore, we set a series of milestones with them and engaged a team of developers they hand-picked with a project manager to supervise the whole process. As flexibility was our utmost priority, we decided to go with the Agile methodology.

Our Priorities

The main points of our plan or you can say our priorities were:

• Safe and secure integration of decided features so that SpiderAF users have a range of options without worrying about the protection of their platform.
• Flawless and bulletproof coding so that they don’t have to worry about the risks and harms.
• Seamless working on any device so that advertisers can ensure optimal performance of their ads without delays and distractions.
• The CMS must give all the required information to search engines so that the ranking can be improved.
• Effortless, decluttered navigation for the users.

So before you make your decision, have a look at the features that you should look for before you select your CMS.

RESULTS

The results for SpiderAF were phenomenal.
