We’ve tried and tested most of the top-rated and most popular content management systems (CMS) available online and have decided to recommend, install, customize and support only two of them: ExpressionEngine and WordPress.

Many small businesses don’t need a content management system to manage their websites because their content simply doesn’t change that much. For them, we recommend a mobile-friendly HTML5 website. But for those who have frequent content updates or multiple authors and contributors, a content management system is required.

The primary reason we recommend these content management systems is their ease-of-use for non-technical people such as doctors, attorneys, writers, artists, actors, advertising and marketing professionals, etc. The simplicity of creating and managing content – text, photos and videos – as well as fact that they are commonly used and widely supported, makes them easy to recommend.

In future posts, we’ll take a look at the benefits of each one of them and discuss the situations where they best fill a need.
