Generally Content Management System is discerned as a solution for all the content related problems. But the fact is having a CMS is not just enough; you need to address wide-ranging issues associated with the content of your website. Because of this, most of the website owners have started hating their content management system as it has failed to reach up to their expectations.
Certainly content management systems have wide range of benefits. It allows you build the websites quickly if you know how your site’s skin is going to wrap over the framework. Also, based on the CMS you choose, you can also access a huge library of plug-ins and tools that help you in adding any functionality to the design. Along with these benefits, CMS has a bad side too.
But what is the bad side of a CMS? Here are some reasons for you to opt out of a CMS:
1. If there are any security vulnerabilities in the CMS you choose, it becomes the security vulnerability of your site as well.
2. Any harm caused by the vulnerability opens you up for the litigation if you don’t have an airtight contract. While installing any CMS, you ...
... will have to abide to the licensing agreement stating that you are ready to accept any risk caused because of the software. So you won’t be able to claim against the even if the problem is from their end.
3. All the WYSIWYG editors which are available online will have some problems and eccentricities which would result in “What you see is what you get! But not exactly”.
4. Some smaller sites don’t need the complete access to the technologies of a CMS. Using CMS for such sites is like exaggeration ant it often involves a sharp learning curve for the clients.
5. CMS products put a brake on your ability to build a logically structured source code.
6. CMS products often complicate the simpler tasks.
7. Most of the CMS products create a bulge on your web pages which could increase the page load time and hinder the performance of your site.
8. We can’t say all the CMS products are search engine friendly. Some products might not be SEO friendly and you will have to alter the things to make your site crawl-able.
9. Self-managing capabilities of content management system allow your clients to make changes on your design but still expect you to manage their site.
