A New CMS and Why

I wrote this article to explain why I created a new CMS system and why I think content management should be something offered as a service instead of an installed system. Oh yeah, and I'm really excited that I launched this product yesterday.

I really like the idea of a hosted CMS. Best of luck to you. One suggestion: remove (or at least de-emphasize) the X's from the design; I kept trying to "close" the items on the left menu bar. :-)

I've used the Clover CMS and it's a solid system. Also, it takes care of a lot of the SEO problems that hosted content management systems often have. Search engines will pick up your content.

Weird. This market is really flooded... but I guess that means there's a lot of people out there who want it :)

Good luck!

I like the idea of CMS as service - good luck with it!

I'm not sure who you are targeting with this service though. Is it the average Joe that needs to update his site? If so then the video and text on your site focus too much on the technology. FTP client asp php - the average user doesn't know or care what these are.

If you're targeting web developers are you going to let them brand up your service as their own?

I think you need to be clearer about who you're marketing to and make sure that your video and web site reflect this.

Great idea though. All the best!
