The concept of a content management system (CMS) is nothing new. However, the high cost of traditional CMS tools was an obstacle to their implementation, since the high cost made it more difficult to invest sufficient time and resources in information design, which is essential for the construction of a website. Thus, CMS was often considered to be a difficult tool to implement successfully.
Based on the open source CMS tool eZ Publish, we can design a website by using a detailed information design as the foundation. Although it is open source, eZ Publish has a very strong technical support structure. By using this CMS tool as the platform for developing contents, we can achieve a quick turnaround to produce a powerful website as compared to the time taken to develop a completely new one.
