COP4813 Assignment12 –
Develop Review of Content Management Systems

Objectives

Gain an understanding of web content management systems and their major capabilities and limitations

Assignment

You will research at least five (5) content management systems and create on your web site a table with the following information

System	Produced/Sold by	Technology Base	Major Capabilities	Major Limitations	Example Site
WordPress	Open Source Supported by most hosting companies	PHP/MySQL	Supports themes Supports plugins Public API	Security (plugins) Security (updates)	https://wordpress.org/

You can also simply supply links to your sources in each of the categories. I did not in this example as it is OK if you use WordPress as one of your examples – but if you do I want you to include the links.

Information

You should have no issues with finding and documenting the various CMS tools – and a Google search on each one will give you all sorts of opinions and facts about each one.

Estimated Completion Time

This should take less than 5 hours to research and write up on your site.

Supporting Lectures

None – this is all web based research

Grading Criteria

2 points for each well documented CMS.
