Top 5 Reasons to choose specific development instead of CMS


Creating its website is the prerogative of any entrepreneur who wishes to make himself known and to reach a wider audience than its boutique. Nowadays it is very simple to create its online boutique: an entrepreneur has at his disposal a whole range of platforms, called CMS (Content Management System) which propose to him the easy and fast creation of a website, for a more or less competitive cost.

 

What is a CMS?

If your boss asks you a report about sales trends of the company during the past 3 years, you would certainly agree with me if I say that it is a bad idea to begin to draft this report the night before. It will be hard, with all the will in the world, to reach a satisfactory outcome. Although well-known and popular, CMS platforms do not offer an optimum solution, like a hastily drawn up report.

In general, you could say that the time spent developing a website is proportionnal to its quality. This means that a website developed in no time thanks to a CMS will not be of an outstanding quality. Certainly, if you have little technical knowledge this solution may seem attractive to you, but be aware that you will always have to get your hands dirty. Image formats to upload, changing design of your home page, copy paste JavaScript code from Google Analytics directly into your site ... just one wrong step and that will be a recipe for disaster!

A developer acts a bit like an artistic director: imagine a ballet director. He guides all his dancers, ensures that the good sequences are realized, he corrects, adapts, and above all he makes sure that his group reaches a certain harmony so that the representation is beautiful and marks the spirits.

A developer is similarly charged with helping to gain ergonomics, and clarity. Its role is essential because it defines the graphic quality and the ease of use of the site: it improves its shape and its overall appearance.

It is one of the key services that will help you to publicize your business: expertise in online positioning strategy. There is no point in creating a web page if it has no visibility.

Similarly, the passwords of your users stored on the database are protected. So, yes a CMS offers good security, after all it is a must in such a risky environment as the internet: anyone could retrieve confidential information!

But watch out, when it is the people who is in charge of making the site on a platform like WordPress who lacks of experience, you can put in danger secret data and cause a big problem!

 

Latest tips before you jump in at the deep end:
  • Invest in a project that fits your ambitions and take the time to develop it! Always prefer quality to quantity, your users will return the sentiment.
  • Be sure to know the working method of your future web developer, and make sure of the quality of his work by asking references.
