What are the benefits?
When it comes to choosing a content management tool for your website the decision could be hard. There are a lot of different and also similar solutions out there. Let’s us sort it out a little for you, totally objective off course:
The Freebies
The freebies are Open Source CMS tools that can be downloaded and installed for free as long as you’ve got a webserver to host it. Free that is if you don’t value your time, because these Open Source solutions tend to be quite time consuming, and often require rather high skills in web techniques to install and operate. They can also be very complex and hard to scale down to match your needs, and of course it could be very hard to get tailor-made modules to match your exact needs. Great for the ones with technical web skills, who won’t mind hanging out at forums to get their questions answered.
The CMS Elephants
The really big CMS tools containing a huge amount of functionality and modules, many times too much and complex for the average admin user, and often very expensive with monthly or yearly billings as long as you are using it. These systems can be great for really big systems and huge organizations. But for everybody else a bit more than you usually need and quite expensive.
Smooo (the in-between soloution)
Smooo CMS is targeting on usability, anyone within a company or organization shall, with a minimum of education, be able to maintain and update a website in Smooo. Smooo comes with a one time license fee, which grant you to use the installation for as long as you wish. No monthly or yearly payments, just one single fee and that’s it. Future versions included. Smooo doesn’t come with a thousand modules and functions, just the ones you need, and tailor-made modules can be made for your exact needs.
