Which CMS to Use for Business and eCommerce


cms comparison

A content management system (CMS) is a platform for publishing and managing your website’s content. CMSs can range from simple to extremely complex and customizable, but a good CMS will provide as much ease of use as possible. Finding the right CMS to implement for your eCommerce business is important. Here’s a CMS comparison that includes features so that you can choose the best CMS eCommerce solution for your company's needs.

WordPress CMS

Originally starting as a blogging platform, WordPress has evolved into one of the most user-friendly CMSs on the market. The interface is simple, free, and intuitive; and the variety of templates to choose from can help you produce an attractive website with little web design knowledge. However, WordPress doesn’t always deliver more complicated functions, and it operates best for simple websites.

Drupal CMS

The Drupal platform allows for the construction of complex sites with high functionality. They are quite developer-friendly; but due to their complexity, they do require a degree of expertise. ECommerce vendors who want to operate their own website with little outside help often decides on simpler platforms.

DotNetNuke CMS

DotNetNuke is an open-source platform that can be managed without an extensive amount of technical language, and it integrates well with a variety of third-party applications. As a Microsoft Certified Partner, Clarity has extensive experience with this highly functional, user-friendly platform.

Joomla CMS

No matter which CMS you choose, Clarity can help you customize it to provide maximum functionality.

Joomla is a more complex platform than WordPress, but its learning curve isn’t as difficult as some of the other CMSs. The average user could learn how to operate a Joomla website in a relatively short amount of time. It also has strong social networking features. Joomla offers a great balance between a highly sophisticated but difficult-to-use platform like Drupal and a simple but less functional platform like WordPress.

Magento CMS

Magento is an open-source eCommerce platform that has been heavily updated and enhanced by developers. It is feature-rich and has a large community of users. However, it is not always easy to work with, and its large size requires a very good hosting environment. This differs from an eCommerce CMS system like Wordpress in that Wordpress will work speedily with virtually any hosting environment.

What's the best eCommerce CMS solution? No matter which CMS integration you choose, Clarity can bring extensive experience with custom development to help you customize your CRM system and create maximum functionality.
