Custom Developed CMS versus ready built CMS
In the current web industry the talk persists over the advantages of ready to go popular CMS like wordpress, Joomla etc. & rather than going for the custom CMS to be built from the scratch. Don’t forget, custom CMS is a personalized built which will act as exactly what you wanted. I would like to share my thought on this regard.
It’s obvious that custom developed are always unique. Custom CMS that are developed from the scratch are more easier, optimized & offers best fit as per the clients requirement. To develop a website from a ready built CMS requires lengthy code as it consumes a lot of time to overrides the default attributes which comes as built-in.
For me, both custom developed CMS & ready built CMS has its own pro’s & con’s. Before choosing between them one needs to consider the below factors :
Time Line : Does time line is a preeminent factor?
Costing : Custom developed CMS are expensive. If in case the ready built CMS are not proximate to your needs then the custom developed CMS will help you in cost effectiveness.
Prerequisite : Does the ready built CMS matches your requirement? If the ready built CMS matches 75% or more, then it is ideal to go with ready built one’s.
Intended Users : Who are the intended users of the CMS? If they are business persons or not technically sounded, then usability & friendliness is the most imperative thing. On the other hand, if the users are technical people then the interface might not be so much imperative.
Other factors that are imperative while culling between a ready built CMS & CUstom developed CMS are Market Trend, Usability, Technology, speed & performance, user friendliness. These aspects needs to be considered while choosing the right CMS.
