Why CMS180? Compare CMS180 to other content management systems.
In contests with other content management systems, CMS180 comes out on top.
CMS180 is an edit-in-place CMS system. You can edit your site's content right on the page where your visitors will see it. There is no back-end interface. There is no learning curve.
vs: Many mainstream CMS systems force you to click through labyrinthine back-end interfaces to edit your site's content.
CMS180 uses a lean code base written for maximum security. The code behind CMS180 is obscured from public access. Sites using CMS180 do not suffer from the security hazards of bloated code and publicized weaknesses.
vs: Hackers frequently discover and publicize security vulnerabilities in mainstream CMS systems, necessitating constant attention and time-consuming updates.
Designing a creative website? CMS180 never limits your choice of layouts. You can truly design outside the box.
vs: Other CMS systems force you to choose from among several predefined layouts, resulting in a generic website appearance.
CMS180 is endlessly customizable and extensible. We can add special features according to your needs. There are no artificial limitations.
vs: Large mainstream CMS systems have closed feature sets that can trap you in dead-ends.
With CMS180, you will never see broken links or broken pages. You change only the content you want to change—CMS180 protects page layouts from dangerous edits, and automatically updates your site's navigation.
vs: Some CMS solutions require you to manually update your site's navigation when you add or remove a page. Many CMS systems leave your whole website vulnerable to editing mistakes.
CMS180 is an affordable content management solution. The up-front cost is low, and you're free from the costs of constantly patching dangerous vulnerabilities.
vs: The true cost of "free" CMS systems can be very high. Mainstream CMS systems bring constant risk and require frequent security updates that can break custom functionality.
CMS180 does not use databases, so pages load faster, and you're immune to the threat of SQL injection. Without databases, it's much easier to make backups, scale up, move to a new server, and handle spikes in traffic.
vs: SQL injection is a common type of attack where a hacker exploits vulnerabilities in the database layer of a CMS system. Mainstream CMS systems are under the constant threat of these attacks.
CMS180 sites run blazing fast. CMS180 is bloat-free and resource-light. Your server or web host can handle loads of visitors with no slow-downs.
vs: Mainstream CMS systems run tens of thousands of lines of code, slowing page load times and requiring costly server hosting to handle even small visitor loads.
Building a new website? With CMS180, you're free to create your website any way you like, using the skills and software you already have.
vs: Other CMS systems require you to learn complex template systems.
Building a new site and want to add a content management system? CMS180 gives you total control over which HTML tags you use. You can use existing HTML or write new HTML. DIV layouts, tables, semantic HTML, CSS—whatever style of HTML your site uses, CMS180 will work with it.
vs: Other CMS systems circumscribe HTML, and may require you to completely rewrite your site.
CMS180 is designed to make your site search-engine-friendly. Since it's so easy to add content over time, your site's search engine presence will continually grow. And CMS180 lets you use clean, search-engine-optimized HTML.
vs: Other CMS systems commandeer important HTML tags (like H1) for proprietary special-purpose uses, preventing you from optimizing your site for search engines.
With CMS180, your web pages have friendly, human-readable URLs, derived automatically from the title of each page.
vs: Many CMS systems display unfriendly URLs like mydomain.com/content.aspx?page=42.
It's easy and intuitive. With CMS180, it takes just a few simple clicks to keep your site up-to-date.
vs: Other CMS systems require significant training, and their complexity causes frequent misunderstandings and mistakes.
We're here to give you individual attention and one-to-one support. If anything goes wrong, we're just a phone call or email away.
vs: Free CMS systems offer no individual attention or one-to-one support. Big commercial CMS outfits force you through lengthy phone menus or online trouble-ticket systems to get assistance.
