| Features of a good CMS include the following:
|
Multiple people can collaborate and/or edit content simultaneously
- A workflow process can be setup to move content through the approval process from content creation to publication.
-
Security features are available to allow only authorized users to access the specific content they are responsible for.
- Versioning should be available to track of changes to the content and allow for previous content to be re-instated and to identify what was changed and by what user.
- Content publishing should be controlled by a scheduling feature.
- Multiple templates should be available (out of the box or custom-built) to effectively display the various types of content throughout your website. This is critical in order to maintain a common look and feel across the entire website.
- Indexing, search and retrieval are also important features such that users can search for content using keywords.
- The published web pages must be search engine friendly or have internal features to facilitate effective search engine optimization (SEO) tactics, primarily via meta tags.
