Is a CMS right for your website? (And how to know for sure)

A content management system (CMS) is basically the behind-the-scenes tool that lets you actually use your website: log in, add new pages, post updates, upload files, and keep everything organized without calling a developer every time.

Why content management matters

A good CMS is like having a solid foundation for your house. It keeps everything stable, secure, and ready for whatever changes you want to make down the road.

If you're managing lots of content (news stories, resources, event listings, publications), a CMS isn't a nice-to-have, it's absolutely essential. Without one, updating your website becomes this whole production. With the right one, you can keep things current and relevant whenever inspiration strikes (or when deadlines loom).

We work with Plone because it's genuinely one of the most secure, flexible, and reliable content management systems out there. It grows with you as your needs evolve, gives your team tools that actually make sense, and turns every page into a potential gateway for new visitors. When you choose Juizi, with Plone you're investing in something that'll serve you well for years, not just for what you're doing now, but for whatever comes next.

When you need a CMS (and when you don't)

Here's the thing: if all you need is a simple brochure site, we're probably overkill. There are lighter, cheaper tools that handle those perfectly well.

But if you've got real content to manage, you want control over your own website, and you see it as a living part of how you do business, then a proper CMS like Plone just makes sense. It's built for organizations that need room to grow and the freedom to adapt.

Now that's a website worth having.
