Hello! When I decided to make a new blog on the Internet, then the situation was faced with a typical situation for a webmaster. Which engine is better to create a site on the network? I went through a lot of options to choose the best of them to achieve my goals. Today I will tell you about it in more detail. Also tell about the features of the choice of such software products.
Let's start with the fact that the engine is a simplified name. Such a software solution is called CMS (Content Management System) - content management system. It greatly facilitates the various work on the electronic resource.
Consider each item in order.
Paid and free engines for the site
I decided to make a small selection of popular options. Let's see what happened?
Popular free CMS for site:
- WordPress (https://ru.wordpress.org/);
- Joomla (http://joomla.ru/);
- Drupal (http://www.drupal.ru/).
Most likely, at least one of these engines are familiar with you. They are mentioned on the Internet in bulk. This is not surprising, because by them enjoys a huge number of webmasters from different parts of the planet.
One of the simple content management systems will then consider further on the text. And right now take a look at other options.
Popular paid CMS:
- 1C-Bitrix (http://www.1c-bitrix.ru/);
- UMI.cms (http://www.umi-cms.ru/).
Very useful software solutions. You can familiarize yourself with them in more detail by going to the appropriate address.
Guess why these engines do I take to the top five leaders? There are two reasons for that.
I constantly see that many high-quality hostings indicate the possibility of supporting these CMS.
By the way, dedicated a separate publication to the topic.
Periodically, I look at successful resources on the Internet and see that they work with one of the above-mentioned content management systems.
There are exceptions. For example, a unique development created specifically for a particular site. This is a separate story.
How to choose the engine for the site?
Choose one of them - the task for the newbie is not out of simple. However, it only seems complicated at first. Now we will be convinced of this.
Paid options Always better. Familiar statement? Yes, it is faithful in most situations, but now there are interesting nuances.
If a successful site was solid, then the choice of engine should rely on a number of times. It is worth considering the necessary functionality and the main objectives of the new project.
Without theoretical knowledge and decent practical experience, it will be difficult to choose the optimal CMS. The task is to easily simplify if you pay attention to the pair of recommendations.
- Contact professional help. Paid advice in this case may be much more useful than free tips.
- See which engines are used on successful sites with the theme and functionality similar to the developed resource. Service for checking CMS - https://2ip.ru/cms/.
By the way, you know where to look for professionals? Owners of successful resources, specialists of web development companies, experienced freelancers on. There are many options, you just need to choose.
From myself I will add some specifics. For example, I am for simple information sites, blogs, training systems, I consider WordPress to be optimal option. For more complex projects - 1C-Bitrix. It is worth understanding that each particular case is individual and should be considered separately.
Best Engine for Information Site
There are many opinions about this. And I, as already understood, I consider such a vordpress.
Now I will briefly explain why I came to this decision.
- Sites on it can advance perfectly in search enginesoh. For example, on my blog it all started from the first goal - and now the indicator is already 1500 and continues to grow.
- The engine is free, relatively simple and easy to use.
- There is a huge selection of free and paid templates for site.
- There is a bunch of free additions (plugins) if you need to expand the functionality.
- Even and even need to develop and implement an additional functionality, then the cost of work is quite acceptable. If you carry out similar works for some paid CMS, then the cost may well bounce several times.
There are other benefits, but I will not make a "kilometer" list. Only this is enough for me to attribute WordPress to the best engine to create information sites. This personally, my opinion, formed on the basis of perennial observations.
I will note an important nuance. Regardless of the choice of the engine, there will be no decent results, if it is incorrect to approach the development of the site. Familiar with professional subtleties of technical configuration, compilation semantic kernel and others necessary work? I have already told about individual nuances, at the beginning of this article gave a reference to the thematic selection of materials.
Would you like to get help of professionals by taking part in a step-by-step training program for creating, promoting and monetizing a blog from scratch? Such an opportunity is provided in this school.
Information about which of the engines is better to create sites on the Internet, today is nearing completion. It was interesting? Leave comments.
I continue to prepare new materials. Regularly publishing them on the blog, and announce the announcements to the social pages created for this blog. Related icons for transition can be found in the right side column. Free thematic email mailing..
Successes with the choice of CMS and common human happiness! Up to communication.
The article was updated on January 18, 2018 and is fully relevant.
Almost every newcomer came across the question of selecting CMS for his site or blog. It is understandable, because it is impossible to know everything in advance. Yes I. various systems Content management has already appeared quite a lot. Only free decisions are collected in this review. They are not inferior to paid analogues, and sometimes even profitably differ in their background. After all, amendments to open code are much easier, therefore all the vulnerabilities found are fixed faster. As well as all new and bold ideas are the first to appear here.
To begin with, the systems should be divided into their direction. There are CMS intended solely to create blogs, as well as more flexible systems that allow you to create full-fledged sites and mediaports. At the same time, blogging systems can be designed to create a whole series of projects, for example, for a whole enterprise. It is also worth noting the development date of the platform (than it is more, the system is better developed and contains less errors), the availability of the community (it will help if difficulties occur in the installation, debugging or use of the system), performance (not all systems are suitable for high-loaded projects). So, now consider each CMS in more detail.
Official site .
This is one of the old and well-proven engines. It is great for e-commerce and sales of goods through the Internet. Many plugins such as Virtuemart allow you to open the store very quickly and in a short time. True, to figure it out in everything from scratch, you will have to sit a little behind the manuals, reading documentation and forums. Fortunately, Joomla has very good support and a huge community in several languages, including Russian.
To the advantages of the system, we can safely attribute the presence of the following functions "out of the box":
- an authentication of users, including through OpenID;
- visual editor of articles;
- convenient file management;
- the comment system and spam protection in them;
- manager plug-ins and extensions.
In fact, the advantages are much more, just listing all of them in one article is very difficult. That is why it occupies a leading position in the ratings and Tops CMS. But, it did not cost without minuses: thanks to its flexibility and many settings, the newcomer will have to spend not one day to understand all this manifold. Its functionality can also be redundant for many simple business cards. But it is suitable for online stores and showcases of goods.
TYPO3.
Official site .
Not so long ago, on the Internet, it began to gain popularity enough old CMS - TYPO3 and now she fell tight in the top 5. The structure of the site here is represented by a pages tree. Each of these can be established standard content items: text, pictures, tables, etc. This content management system is based on templates that can either download ready-made, or write independently on Typoscript.
Pluses TYPO3:
- the ability to finely configure users' rights;
- ease of making several sites at the same time;
- the ability to use extensions from Ter (TYPO3 EXTENSION REPOSITORY);
- high safety requirements;
- advanced text editor with spell check, preview, change history.
Disadvantages of this system:
- the complexity of editing the structure of the site using a template system;
- slow rendering of large pages with a variety of content (tables, pictures);
- few ready solutions for online stores
It is recommended to use inside large industrial companies and banks. Young and small sites are most likely not suitable or the costs of development and support will be incommensurable with the pluses from use.
Drupal.
Official site .
Also very popular and common CMS, which is used to create sites by very large enterprises, such as Sony Music. They choose Drupal because of a large set of functions to build immediately internal and external sites for corporate network. There is a huge database tool for managing a single user database. Well suited for the organization of a blog system, forums. Drupal has a very active community of developers, a huge database of knowledge, a lively forum. It is enough just to find answers to questions about the installation, deployment of sites and modules.
Advantages Drupal:
- excellent support for the community of users and developers;
- more than 6,000 modules that facilitate the expansion of the functionality;
- easily manage user rights, create collective blogs and forums.
Disadvantages of the system:
- it may be overly difficult for simple sites;
- total lack of beautiful and functional topics;
- difficulty in mastering for an unprepared user.
For site sites, you are categorically not recommended to choose this CMS, but for the organization of medium and large portals, where users will add their material and comment on it, Drupal is suitable as no other.
MODX
Official site .
One of the youngest CMS (development is conducted since 2004), which appeared at the very beginning of the formation of the so-called web 2.0. The idea was to attract users to edit and add content on the site. For example, writing reviews, reviews and even entirely articles. Therefore, there is present good system User registration, search on the site on Ajax (without rebooting the page), you can quickly deploy news feed, collective blog. The disadvantages can be attributed frequent problems with Russian encoding, which are so fully resolved, although they have appeared for a long time; Lack of ready-made modules and solutions for organizing a gallery, forum, an electronic store.
WordPress.
Official site .
If someone else doubts that the WordPress has long been overgrown by the Stage "System for Maintaining Blogs", then these doubts should be discarded. This CMS develops a great many sites, including social networks, websites of companies, online shopping and shop windows, forums, as well as simple business cards.
Thanks to thousands of finished topics, plug-ins and even ready-made assemblies for different needs, WordPress occupies a well-deserved place in Top 5. There is an active development community that generates lessons and informational materials.
Advantages WordPress:
- big developer community and well-structured documentation;
- thousands of free plugins and the vessels for the site;
- comfortable admin.
Disadvantages WordPress.
- the starting functionality immediately after installation is quite modest, it is necessary to supplement it at least 4-5 plugins;
- after a simple installation, refinement is needed in terms of safety.
In fact, this is one of the simplest and loyal to the beginners system. It allows you to create sites almost understanding anything in programming (read mine). It is extremely recommended as the first CMS. In the future, if its functionality is limited for you, then you can easily transfer the site to another engine which you choose.
[In most cases, the top occupy these 5 CMS, which I considered in this article.
When answering the question "What CMS to choose for the site" should pay attention to the fact that popular engines are constantly under the attack. Their code is open to all, including not very honest people who can look for vulnerabilities in it and apply them for their mercenary purposes. Dangers can be avoided if the engine is timely updated to latest version. At the same time, if you use a little widespread content management system, then if you have difficulty, you may not have to find help and hope you can only be on yourself. Consider this factor. Successes!
Instead of accession: This material is almost completely copied with the CESL GROUP website, author of Nikita Semenov.
Just ... I want to keep the material in myself. The narrative is conducted in 2012. Today, 5 years later, Top sites are a bit different, but the results of the study and conclusions from articles, in my opinion, are relevant to this day.
Very often to us in the SECL Group come new customers and are asked to create a portal or social network On boxed CMS, while the example put existing large portals from their niche. And every time you have to explain that high-loaded sites are not made on boxed CMS. Today I want to justify why CMS is extremely rarely used for big projectsAs some facts and research, which Runet sites from the first hundred for attendance use box CMS.
What cms are popular in RuNet?
As we say Runet Routing among commercial engines is: 1C-Bitrix, Netcat, UMI.cms, Hostcms, amiro.cms and among free it is: Joomla !, Drupal, MODX, WordPress, Typo3. Each CMS has its own characteristics, pros and cons, but the article is not about that.
From me: In 2017, according to Runet Runet version, commercial engines: 1C-Bitrix, UMI.cms, Netcat, Hostcms, CS-Cart. UMI.CMS and Netcat have changed in places, dropped out amiro.cms, CS-Cart appeared. Open-Source engines: WordPress, Drupal, Joomla!, MODX, OpenCart. WP in the first place, I wonder why in 2012 he was on something ... MODX lost one position, Joomla is two positions, OpenCart knocked Typo3 from the rating.
Let's start with the study of the top 100 sites, and after analyzing the data obtained. For the study, we chose two ratings at once. Top 100 sites: according to Alex (region - Russia and region - all countries). Rhinestone is to explain that these ratings are slightly different, Alex collects data through the installed toolbar, and taking into account the fact that they are mostly involved in the RuNet, they are mostly related to the Internet, respectively, the alexes are slightly shifted towards sites for programmers, SEO "Schnikov etc. That is why we have also made an analysis according to LiveInternet. The analysis includes more than 50 popular CMS, including all the most popular. CMS was determined by the location of the admin, along the site code, etc. errors may be, t . at. Some site owners purposefully hide signs using CMS.But in any case this error, if there is, then small.
Analysis of 09/11/2012. Data on Alex (less relevant, but more interesting by their "aestishness")

As we see, only 13 sites from 100 work on a box CMS, i.e. In total, the rating of 13% of high-loaded projects use CMS. In addition, 3 projects use studio developments that can be collected specifically for their needs and most likely differ very different from the usual box CMS. In the dry residue, we see that only several projects work on the box CMS.
The following are the research data Top 100 Runet sites for attendance (according to LiveInternet) and analyzed their analysis for signs of using boxed CMS:

So, we see quite a logical picture, the same as in the ranking by Alex: among the first fifty sites there are no CMS in general, in the second half there are 7 boxed CMS, one of which is studio, while interesting, CMS-based sites are not Different fast work, braking face. In this rating, the total attendance of sites is significantly higher than in Alex and CMS use less projects.
What then do big projects work on?
Usually under such projects, functionality is written from scratch, frameworks are used, different algorithms, and often even several programming languages, but this is the topic of a separate article.
Why are high-loaded sites not made on CMS?
There are several reasons for it. To begin with, let's decide that CMS is: in fact, it is a set of ready-made modules associated with a single system that fits "for all occasions." From here immediately appear logical conclusions that hold from the use of box CMS for large portals:
- System without specialization.
Almost all CMS do not have specializations, they are designed to create any site (some systems position themselves as CMS for a specific type of sites, such as WordPress for blogs, Magento for shops, etc., but the point does not change, just more modules For a specific type of sites), it is impossible to achieve maximum efficiency from here. - Standard architecture.
Any large site has a stage of designing architecture, it's like a project in building a building: we will develop well - it will stand for a long time, bad - immediately falls apart. In this case, the architecture is already asked by the developers of CMS, which means that the peculiarities of the new project is not possible. - Rewind a lot.
In any large project there is a lot of different functionality with different requirementsso just take standard modules and run a quality site is impossible: each of the modules will most likely have to redo the specific requirements, but to dig in someone else's code, even well-documented, long and ineffective, often faster, and hence cheaper, write from scratch . - Problems with refinement.
Often you need to add what is not in CMS, and it sometimes turns into hell: just what you need to figure out how everything works, there are still technological restrictions, CMS can use outdated technology or not the most optimal for our project. And in general, any CMS for the developer is a hard frame for which it is extremely difficult to go out. - Problems with loads.
Since we are talking about honorable projects, each of them should be optimized under load so as not to spend large resources for supporting performance, and the site must remain workers for any attendance. From here, each of the modules should spend a minimum of computing capacities that CMS cannot provide, because it was created as a solution "for all occasions", and there is a bunch of everything that throwing out either difficult, or at all is impossible. By the way, some projects for the sake of this make the site in general at clean HTML (for example, Opera or the site of our SECL GROUP), due to this sites withstand large loads With minimal resources, and the page loading speed amazes imagination. True, on Pure HTML "e, you can only make those sites that are rarely updated: each update becomes a problem.
This is not a complete list of minuses, because of which large sites do not make on boxes CMS. Site management systems are well suited for simple solutions: corporate website, online store, blog, etc., and it is impossible to use them for large portals, and the rating of the top 100 sites is illustrated in practice.
- The more the site attendance, the less likely (even more correctly to say the possibility) of the use of boxed CMS,
- All sites that work on CMS have performance problems.
- CMS is a framework, projects created based on them have significant shortcomings on architecture and functionality.
Hello, my dear readers! Own site in our time is a fairly profitable business. But that the site brings income, you need to take into account a large number of aspects when creating it.
One of the most important points is the choice (funds by which you will download content to your resource).
Today there are many such platforms. I will not tell how to choose the engine for the site, what functionality is better, I will tell you about the most popular, and the choice is yours.
Immediately, I will say that all management platforms are divided into 2 types: free and paid. The advantage of paid engines is the rapid website promotion.
WordPress.
In the first place, of course, WordPress. The main advantage of this engine is that it is very easy to use and absolutely free. Installing this platform to your own website is a very light process, which, undoubtedly, influenced a large number of fans.
Also, the WordPress has a very large number of plug-ins that allow you to optimize the site for any type of resource and content. Most often on WordPress create blogs, although there is an opportunity to create your own online store.
A large number of SEO specialists prefer WordPress for its simple interface and maximum versatility. The disadvantage of this functionality is its separate resource editing ability. That is, you will not be able to correct the error on the page, directly in the View-mode, you will need to go to the WordPress itself and make changes there.
No special knowledge needs to start working with this engine: the Russian-speaking interface in a simple navigation compartment will allow you to deal with even the most inexperienced user.
The software structure itself is very simple. All functions you need and options are in the column in the left side of the screen, the working WordPress area takes up most of the screen. All fields that need to be filled, have its name and description in Russian. This form of filling is perceived as usual registration on an extraordinary portal or on a social network.
In addition to all of what was said, you can choose the design of the WordPress with your own settings and algorithms. Despite his incredible versatility, the engine itself takes very little space. So if your hosting has a small amount of available traffic, then the only one a good option - This is WordPress.
Drupal.
Drupal rightfully occupies second place for the reviews of most programmers and SEO optimizers. It should be noted that Drupal is also absolutely free as its predecessor. The difference between Drupal and Wordpress lies in a more complex management from the first. Drupal has a much larger number of additional features and settings, which is noticeably affected by its control.

The main drawback is an incredibly complex and confusing management. Honestly, many programmers and SEO specialists are not particularly striving to call the modex engine, in great degree It resembles a framework, but with the administrative part of the management.
Bitrix.
Above the options for free engines for sites, the Bitrix is \u200b\u200bnot available. This is a paid platform that has both the pros and shortcomings.

CMS (people called the engine) - the site content management system. This is the backbone, on which everything is built. The ease of filling the site depends on the engine, its "friendliness" for search promotion, the ability to connect additional Services.
We have gathered specialists of the WebCanape development and Internet marketing departments and polling them on the subject of what are good and bad different CMS. This article will help you choose the engine so that it does not painfully hurt.
Universe engines: variety of species
All existing CMS can be divided into 4 large categories:
- Self-inside
- Boxes
- Designers
- Studio
1. Self-written CMS.
Self-written CMS is a content management system that is written from scratch for a specific business task. This is a non-relocated solution. It is created under one project and is not replicated.
☺ Full compliance with your business tasks
Boxes and designers have module sets to expand the functionality of the site, but in ready-made solutions There are always restrictions, and you will have to make compromises.
The custom control system will fully respond to the tasks prescribed in the TK, because it is not developed in order to then sell a different audience. The developer keeps only your needs in my head.
☺ Integration of the latest achievements
Technologies constantly overtake the market. Even having bought the latest version of the box CMS, you cannot be sure that it has implemented all the achievements available on this moment. Creating an engine for you, the developer has access to the newest programming technologies and, if you are lucky, will apply them to work on your project.
☺ exclusivity
You can brag that you are the owner of an exclusive solution, a unique functionality, breakthrough development. Honor and respect for colleagues, indignation and envy of competitors, bewilderment knowledgeable people You are provided.
× Non-studied technology
Serial solutions are practiced on thousands of sites (for example, more than 2000 projects have been created on Canape CMS). Each next assembly eliminates bugs found in previous versions. This means that you do not have to fill your own bumps.
If your site is created on a self-written (that is, non-relocated) CMS, you will be a pioneer. Definition of processes, fitting algorithms and programming the desired modules from zero will fall on your developer's shoulders. And with mistakes, he will have to cope with himself.
× No technical support
All problems will have to be solved on their own. And on the forums, most likely will not help.
× SEO-Promotion difficulties
Usually, in such systems, if there is some SEO functionality, it is presented quite poorly, because programmers and SEO-Schnik - creatures from of different worlds. Much will have to finish in the process.
× Full dependence on developer
Agreeing on a self-written engine, set up to be together with the developer for the century, in the mountain and in joy, until death separates you and then in the text ... It is rather not recommended to quarrel, since the viability of the self-written site depends on the author of the code.
Usually no regulated technical documentation for such engines there is no, and if you suddenly decide to change the development team, there is a high probability that the site will have to redo the engine. Contact someone else's code - the pleasure of dubious and costly.
2. Boxes CMS.
Box CMS - ready software product. Such a system can be downloaded (in the case of free solutions) Or buy (commercial engines). Compare Free and commercial products would be incorrect, as they have fundamental differences, important for business.
Free engines from the box
Examples: Wordpress, Drupal, Joomla, OpenCart, Magento and others like them.
☺ free relationship with the developer
Thanks to the free, many people know about such products. So you will not be difficult to find a developer. And it will not be a problem to replace it if your paths disperse.
☺ cheap (if you make compromises)
Create websites on such engines relatively inexpensively. Basic functionality is usually free. You can find a huge number of connected modules to solve a variety of tasks, and many of them are also free.
☺ Design Change in 2 Click
In the box engines there is an opportunity to add design templates - if you are tired of design, you can download / buy new and put on the site. Sometimes it is done in 2 clicks.
× No Unified Standard
Open Source-solutions do not have a single standard of development, so even despite the huge army of developers on WordPress, every next special will want to remake your CMS for itself.
× Module selection problem
Big choice Modules can also turn into a problem. Since they can create completely different people, a huge amount of solutions for the same tasks will be fruitled in the network. It is difficult to determine which module is suitable for a specific task. When connecting fingers, it is better to cross, it may be incompatible with your version of the engine.
Striped overnight:
Sometimes free modules are created exclusively for virus spread. That is, the plugin seems to be beneficial, but in essence is a loophole for infection. Many sin it free templates For WordPress and Joomla, template developers use them to place references and even viruses to earn. Here joomla-master.org, they say, especially many templates with references.
× Vulnerability
Vulnerability - the price you have to pay when choosing a free engine with open source. Thanks (or due to) the popularity of such solutions, sites on them are much more likely. Although B. source code And no viruses, but the attackers do not stand anything, hack the site and infect. You have to develop countless patches to get around the problem.
× Missing Requirements of the Laws of the Russian Federation
Free boxes, as a rule, are not produced in Russia. Nobody adapts them to the Russian realities, and the requirements of Russian legislation are also not taken into account.
× No tech support
But there is a big community of developers, and on the forums you will most likely help. But technical support is not. That is, a solution to the solution may take a lot of time, and the effect is not guaranteed.
Output: Conclude a contract for technical support with a contractor that has developed a site on a free engine.
× SEO restrictions
Promote such sites is complicated. That is not the ability to edit the metaTel (in WordPress you need to connect the plugin), then REL \u003d "Canonical" fails to register on some templates.
Joomla, for example, is famous for the dirty code. She creates a few doubles on each page of the site, so it will be extremely difficult to get out of the top issuing. Because sites on Joomla index badly. And load slowly for the same reason.
Drupal also generates a lot of superfluous. If you finally figure out which modules you need for SEO, then be prepared to break your head over how to get rid of the extra technical pages that the system is leaving.
× Uncomfortable editing content
In many free CMS. (Hello, Joomla) to make minimal modifications to the display of one page, sometimes not to do without the help of a developer, not refundable.
Commercial boxes CMS.
Examples: 1C-Bitrix, Netcat, Hostcms, UMI.CMS, CS-Cart, and so on.
☺ Easy to choose and change developers
To work with popular paid solutions (as well as popular free) you can easily find a developer.
☺ Specialization
Many commercial serial engines are sharpened to solve specific groups of tasks. For example, there are CMS on which it is convenient to build online stores (Amiro CMS, CS-Cart).
☺ Compliance with Russian realities
Popular in Russia paid engines are adapted to the Russian business. And 1C-Bitrix is \u200b\u200bgenerally Russian development, which is a priori, all requirements takes into account.
☺ Serious technical support
You will not be left in trouble if you have questions about the integration of services, problems with connecting modules or software bugs.
× Annual Licensed Payments
We have to extend the license. Without purchasing a license for the next year, you will not be able to update CMS to the latest version and execute the requirements of search engines, for example, it will be much more complicated.
× Need to refine
If you change the developer, it will still have to finish.
× Content Editor Need
Usually in such CMS there are problems with filling, without developer, it is difficult to understand. Content managers scare children by bikes about 1C-Bitrix sites.
Riddle for the smallest: What button you need to click so that your three-hour work is preserved.
And then you have to think hard to find the desired page for editing.
× Paid tech support
Will help you, but not free.
3. Sites constructors
Designer is an online platform for creating sites. To assemble a simple site on the constructor, you do not need to mess with the code, databases, hosting. Do not need to download anything and install. You register on the platform, specify need settingsYou choose a template - the site is ready. This is a cheap and often beautiful solution for single-bars and simple sites.
Examples: Tilda, Nethouse, Wix, UKIT, WEEBLY, and so on.
☺ quickly (and independently)
The designer allows you to quickly (and on your own) to make a lending or a simple site.
Special knowledge is most often not required. Make a website for the launch of advertising on it per day.
☺ Popular
If you do not want to do or require something to "write", you can easily find a developer for the site on a popular designer.
True, finalization is possible only in terms of the front of the back of the content. Do not think about functional modifications.
☺ cheap
On Wix or Tilda you can collect a beautiful one-page or an easy site that can collect applications.
× Forget about complex functionality
If comprehensive software improvements are needed, you will have to make compromises. For example, Tilda means will not be able to make requests for applications to come to an additional mail. In the technical support service, they will be answered that there is no such functionality, but may be added in the future. Or will not.
× in captivity of someone else's hosting
By choosing a SaaS solution to create a website, you fall dependent on someone else's hosting. The possibility of transferring to another hosting is only in rare designers, and if there is - it costs a lot.
In addition, if the design policy of the designer will not be close to you overnight ( subscription feeFor example, it will grow 4 times), you will have to redo the site elsewhere or on another constructor, or already on CMS.
× Incompatibility with Russian realities
Many designers are foreign production, they are not adapted for Russian realities. Fresh legend, as Yandex stopped indexing sites on the WIX constructor due to JavaScript errors.
In addition, the proprietary owners of the designers are usually compiled in such a way that the company does not bear any responsibility:
- never hosting
- for no failures in the system,
- for non-compliance with legislation
- no "sudden" updates,
- not for blocking.
- These are all your risks, reputational and financial.
× Name on subdomain
In many constructors (for example, on Tilda), you will be offered to register the site name on the subdomain of the site .tilda.ws. Trust to the site by users does not add, at least search engines to such small things hardly there is a matter.
4. Studio CMS.
Many web studios are developing their own engines to collect sites on them for their customers. Some of these management systems are sold as an independent product, that is, any third-party developer can buy such a solution to implement their own projects. However, such cases are rare.
Examples: Canape CMS, Uralcms, Argilla, MediaPublisher, and so on.
☺ Deployed technician
Unlike self-written CMS, working with a studio engine, an third-party developer will be able to easily understand the code, as for Canape CMS, for example, there is a detailed one. Documentation that is complemented and updated from release to release.
☺ There is a support service
Web studios contact with customers are usually closer, therefore, technical support for studio CMS is usually responsive. You will always answer, help you will prompt if problems arise.
How the CANAPE CMS Support Service works
☺ SEO-friendliness functionality
If the studio that has developed the engine provides services for searching for promotion, with a large share of the probability of CMS meets all the requirements of the search engines and has the necessary functionality for SEO. When developing a site on Canape CMS, the default basic SEO parameters is configured, and all possibilities are provided for further promotion in search engines.
☺ Customization for business tasks
Working with engines from the box looks like a sculpture of a stone block. You take a hard product, cut off extra things, leop the extra modules. Not always everything works, as was conceived initially.
With Studio CMS, everything else - under your business requirements collect the necessary functionality with the possibility of its expansion and scaling.
☺ Test sites
This is a development standard that is not always performed, for example, in constructors. In Canape CMS, there is a test playground on which developers can check the implementation of a particular solution on the studio engine. It is safe for the "combat" site and useful if developers are attracted from.
☺ Customer orientation, and not on the developer
If boxing solutions are focused on the developer, which is their target buyer, then the studio are created with an eye on the end user - the company for which the site is created.
Studio CMS to a greater extent take into account the individual needs of the business, and usually have a specialization (online stores, information portals, etc.)
Different types of sites collected on CANAPE CMS
☺ Security
Safety of such engines are several times higher than free or popular paid solutions. With the code of studio CMS are not familiar with so many people, so they grab them much less often.
WordPress, for example, break quite often. The attacker can easily access the administrator if the user is not very experienced. Sites usually wake up to extort money from the owner or hang on it a malicious code. The same situation is found with OpenCart and MODX.
× Completeness for third-party developers
Such solutions are less converted, and a third-party developer has to be understood in someone else's code (in Canape CMS there are test sites and those. Documentation, and the code is open and standardized, so the problem is not too big).
× Dependence on Studio Services
It may not be integration with popular services, since the studios usually have their own alternatives. Therefore, if necessary, the introduction of a popular CRM site will have to modify a little programmatically.
× No one is insured against a untimely death
If the studio closes or refuses its CMS, the engine will stop being updated.
However, users of popular engines are not insured. Although the likelihood of such an outcome is lower.
The easiest way is not mistaken in the choice of engine
The error of many business owners in hypervision. If you do not work out at all in the programming, nor in SEO, trust the choice to someone who will promote the site. It is very desirable that one contractor or contractors who work in a bundle are engaged in developing and promotion. The one who himself does not promote sites is hardly able to foresee everything at the development stage, and the company working with specific CMS accurately studied all their capabilities and will certainly be able to apply them to you.
If you write a site in one place, and then you decide to take it on promotion to another web studio, be prepared for unforeseen expenses:
- We have to pay for connecting additional modules or third-party development. required functionsTo, let's be able to be able to edit metatels. Usually these spending for business owner are unexpected.
- You may be suggested to transfer the site to another CMS, which is more suitable for promotion (or with which your new contractor is better familiar). In terms of cost, it is often comparable to the development of a new site.
- Activities for promotion will be less effective, and they will need much more than if you were done in the same company. That is, spending again.
- Some CMS have extremely uncomfortable tools for editing filling. If you are "lucky" to raise the site on one of them, you will have to attract developers, even to change the phone number on the pages.
Regardless of the engine that you choose, the easiest way to save is not to quarrel with the developer. Even the most popular CMS does not guarantee that the site does not need to be refined when changing the contractor. Therefore, it is not worth afraid of less popular studio engines. In addition, the introduction of improvements, for example, on Canape CMS will not be a problem for a third-party developer, since the code is standardized and there is all technical documentation.
For the manager should not have the meanings on which CMS is built if it occupies the top position in search results And brings you applications. The choice of engine is the task of the SEO contractor, from which you will require specific KPI to promote. Imposing its preferences on CMS, you complicate the work of specialists and most likely increase own costs On internet marketing.
