Whenever we want to make new websites, a thought always hits our mind - Which Content Management System to use ? Then we start researching on Google, asking quesitons on Forums, etc. and the thing goes on for weeks till we come to a conclusion.

Well, there are tons of predesigned Content Management Systems available on the web, open source and commercial licensed.

Building your own Content Management System is no more than re-inventing the wheel.

But many times, the predesigned ones many not meet your needs. So what to do at such times ?

If you have the taste for programming then I suggest learn some good programming language like PHP or JSP which is widely used for web applications are write your own application.

This takes time but you get the knowledge of the language and you know every part of your system how it works. There's no waiting for updates for new features, you can directly add new features.

Yeah this requires a good amount of time and effort, and the most important thing - devotion to the work. Without devotion it is not possible to build an effective content management system.

The good part about using pre-built systems is that you get a big support community in most cases with a huge database of modules which extend the features of the application like anything.

You can also get your system made by a good company offerring such services for some bucks. One such company which provides Web development services I know is Iflexion

These companies provide you quality work at nominal rates. They may also provide support services after sales.

When you get your work done from companies, your code is guaranteed to be free of bugs esp. security bugs. They have big development teams which test the code rigorously before giving you the completed application.

So our end conclusion is -

• If your needs are met by pre-designed applications then use them !
• If you like programming then design the application yourself as per your needs.
• If you don't fit into both of the above categories, get your work done from reputed companies !
