Over the years I’ve received a few questions on this blog or at conferences about search engine friendly Content Management Systems (CMS). Is there such a thing? What are the best ones?
Before the days of WordPress, there were really only a couple of CMS options that provided the flexibility for search engine optimization. But now there are SEO friendly CMS systems popping up everywhere.
But before you decide on a CMS for your site, there are still some crucial aspects you need to consider.
Stephan Spencer has written a helpful article to this effect called How to Choose Content Management Systems for SEO. He breaks down CMS features into the following categories:
- critical
- important
- desirable
- optional
Then he explains why the various CMS features meet those categories and how they impact SEO.
Great stuff!
For pure CMS as opposed to a Blog platform such as wordpress. The best one I have found is CMS made simple purely because you have so much control over the template .
A very much awaited piece of information.Took a look at it,really great.This contains the ‘critical’ and ‘important’ categories as the most crucial ones to make your site presence worth it.
