Choosing the Right CMS
                   Is WordPress right for you?

                        •  Will it Help You Accomplish Your Organization s Goals?
                                   Evaluating your functional and operational requirements is the first step.

                        •  Open-Source vs. Proprietary
                                   As proprietary systems serve a very specific purpose, content management is
                                   not always a priority.

                        •  WordPress vs. The Others
                                   WordPress leads market share for CMS-based websites. Many developers
                                   hate it, but content managers love it.

                   It Packs a Mean Punch

                                   It s like a house with no furniture

                        •  Don t just dump in content
                                   Think beyond copy and paste, and make content strategy the focus

                                   Remember the objectives of a successful website:
                                   Brand, Content, Experience, Action

                        •  Work with the right team
                                   Maximize your success with the right experts guiding you
