CMS! Not For All

In today's world when we talk about creating web site, content management system(CMS) comes in picture. Wordpress, Joomla and Drupal are most efficient CMS, but CMS is not always the best choice for everyone. Normally CMS are used to generate dynamic pages, but today people generate more and more static page using CMS; an often unnecessary and sometimes even wrong choice.

When you start working on a project (whether for a client or for yourself) try to determine as early as possible what you want in your site whether news, blog, article is necessary or if it will be quite different content that should be updated / added regularly. If a Web page should be updated once or twice a year, it can be considered as a static web page. It also depends on what type of updates should be made. There is a big difference between updating a page with new images, texts and a simple massage "hi everyone".

Content Management System

We are actually talking about small size business not the corporate ones where special rules and regulations apply. It depends upon your need that if you want static page, then don't use CMS.   

As CMS provide you great flexibility in design but if you want custom design in page then you have to work hard little bit in CMS because it use template. It's become easier if you use static page. If you want to take decision whether to use Static or CMS first do some paper work and find out how many static and dynamic content you require in your site. How many pages you require in your site? etc.  

From above discussion we can say that CMS is not always a good choice in every condition. So take the decision depend upon your content and need.
