Content Management normal refers to the management of website content. Popular Content Management Systems (CMS) for websites include:

• Django
• Drupal
• Joomla
• HubSpot
• Pyramid
• Wagtail
• WordPress

Any of these Content Management Systems are excellent choices for managing website content including text, images, photos, podcasts, and video.

These CMS systems also support common website functions such as HTTPS Security, User Registrations and Logins, Site Backup, custom forms, Mailing Lists, and content databases.

Zojax actively supports and develops websites in these CMS:

• Django CMS
• HubSpot CMS Hub
• Pyramid Web Framework
• Wagtail (an implementation of Django)
• Word Press CMS

Most CMS systems are marketed to end users who want to develop their own websites and manage their website content. WordPress, in particular, is marketed toward organisations with a low level of technical expertise.

Zojax believes that today’s modern websites require consistency on both desktop and mobile devices and that even WordPress is beyond the technical expertise of most organisations who do not have an IT department. The opinion of Zojax is that WordPress and other CMS’s are rapid development tools for outside website developers such as WordPress.

Our CMS of choice for developing websites is Wagtail which is a implementation of the Django CMS. We will develop websites using WordPress or Hubsite if there is a customer requirement to use one of these CMS’s.

The other use case for Content Management Systems is application development. As an example, Zojax developers use Django for building a complex educational content repository for the Institute of Knowledge Management (www.Iskme.org). Instead of managing website content it manages large amounts of educational content.

For an intranet for Quick International Courier (www.quick.aero) Zojax developed a document management system using the Pyramid Web Framework. Hundreds of users access thousands of company documents based of a complex set of access rules.

Web applications have a very different set of requirements than relatively simple website content management and therefore required either advanced content management systems such as Django or Wagtail.

For website content management Zojax recommends Django or Wagtail (an implementation of Django).

For web application development requiring complex access rules and workflow systems Zojax recommends the Pyramid Webframe or Django/Wagtail.
