The importance of CMS when building a website
Content management systems (CMS) are tools that allow you to manage your website’s content. Thanks to their use, both building a website and its maintenance become significantly easier. They can be used to create blogs, e-commerce sites, and even social media platforms. Many people also use them for their personal websites. The main advantage of a content management system is the ability to add dynamics to a website through a dedicated admin panel that allows managing content on individual subpages without having to modify the source code. This is particularly important when building websites characterized by frequent changes over time. Websites based on a content management system can be updated and modified without developers, however they become harder to professionally optimize and add many additional code layers whose use increases the site’s weight and loading time. Website building, regardless of its purpose, should always be preceded by proper consideration and a decision about using a specific CMS. This decision significantly affects the methodology and technique of creating and coding the site.

We have a winner!
The best CMS in 2023 is… it depends 🙂
Website building at our company proceeds in one of three ways:
- A basic website built using CMS WordPress and the block content editor,
- A premium website written in clean code using CMS WordPress for post management,
- A prestige website without CMS, created in leading technology used by the world’s largest companies – fully optimized and adapted to the most rigorous browser and search engine requirements.
During our website building work, we always answer one fundamental question at the very beginning – does the given project need a content management panel. When the website we’re building is static content in the form of a business card website or service page, we try to forgo the content management panel whenever possible. This gives us significantly greater optimization capabilities and allows us to speed up the final result. A website built this way is very fast and loads in less than two seconds.
However, when a website will require frequent changes and updates, we opt for CMS WordPress. It’s the world’s most popular content management panel, used by over 30% of all websites online. This is a very good result, though entirely expected. As of today, it’s by far the best tool that makes website building and its future maintenance significantly more convenient. Additionally, a very important advantage is that WordPress is fully open source. This means it can be used commercially in website projects without additional fees. Because of this, it has a very large number of users and broad community support. A created website is 100% owned by the client – there’s no possibility of maintenance costs drastically increasing. It also won’t happen that a company goes bankrupt and takes the product used to build the site with it. There’s no danger of the site being taken down for no specific reason. All these factors can, however, occur when using a paid solution.
Building a website – how the best CMS will make your life easier
Due to the complete voluntariness, CMS WordPress is the best solution regardless of the industry the company operates in. Of course, in terms of capabilities, building a website with CMS WordPress can be a universal solution for both a basic business card website, an online store, or a company blog. The admin panel written in this technology can be very well secured, optimized, and adapted to the precise requirements imposed by each industry. Website building can involve using the basic (less efficient) block content editor, as well as being a professional solution based on clean and optimized code. By using CMS, website building is pure pleasure, and its features will facilitate site administration and business management in the future. Basic capabilities include sending contact forms, integration with Google Ads and Google Analytics, collecting newsletter email addresses, and tracking user journeys on the site. CMS WordPress, thanks to plugin availability, has unlimited possibilities. We’ve used it to build basic online stores, advanced modular home configurators, service ordering pages, restaurant websites, and much more. Our website is built with this technology, and its loading time is maintained below 500ms (half a second). We use WordPress daily for running our company blog, adding portfolio entries, and editing content on our offer subpages. In the admin panel, we store content configuration, editable fields, and those site parameters that may change over time. Other source code elements are stored in a custom theme, along with styles and graphics. The entire solution, subjected to optimization, represents for us the ideal combination of solution usability with speed and functionality.
A few other options
There are many different options for web design, but you should know that not all of them are created equal. There are certain CMSs and frameworks that are incredibly powerful and flexible – and others that aren’t. The ones we’ve listed here are among the best in their class, but they’re not necessarily right for everyone.
We’ll leave the decision to you whether a given platform is right for your project or not!
Building a website without CMS
When website content doesn’t change frequently, or when changes are made by the agency, there’s no need to add a dedicated administration panel. Website building should be carried out using a more optimized technology to have the ability to improve results and prepare for bringing in large amounts of traffic in an optimized way. In many cases, more advanced technologies present more challenging solutions due to many elements whose improvement positively affects marketing and SEO results. During our work, we use tools such as GTMetrix, Search Console, and PageSpeed Insights. Thanks to them, we have constant insight into the quality of the prepared solution and have a list of elements that can still be improved so the website achieves higher positions in organic search results.
A professional marketing tool for your business
In short, the best CMS will be one that allows you to easily maintain your website. It should have a good user interface, work quickly and smoothly on every device, and be easy to update. From a website based on a content management system, we expect it to be easy to use, allow content updates while remaining fast and optimized to the standards that form the basis of website building – professional website building.
