RE: Out-of-the-Box Content Management | BTalk Australia
Hi Phil

Great interview.

Another note - often your CMS will outlive your relationship with your web designer / developer. So make sure when the relationship heads south, you can pick it up and take it with you.

Therefore, dont use a CMS unless it is supported and understood outside of your developers head. No custom CMS for Small/Med business.

Also, make sure your CMS also is able to have individual pages with accessible meta data and tags.

Hope this Helps.
