The principle of a CMS
A CMS (content management system) is a tool that lets you manage your site without coding: add a page, publish an article, change an image. WordPress, along with other platforms, is based on this principle.
The benefit is autonomy: you do not depend on a technician for every small content change.
The principle of custom development
Custom development starts from a blank slate to meet a specific need precisely: a configurator, a complex booking system, an integration with your internal tools.
- No limit imposed by an existing tool
- An experience tailored to your clients
- A base that is often faster and safer
On the other hand, each change generally goes through a developer.
Reconciling autonomy and specificity
The right choice depends on the balance between management autonomy and specific needs. Many projects combine the two: a custom base with a simple management interface, to stay free day to day while benefiting from particular functions.
Think about the future too: your site will no doubt need to evolve. A solid, documented base avoids redoing everything in two years. At Skywebis, we choose the technology according to your goals and your ability to manage the site yourself.
Skywebis builds custom, fast, SEO-optimized websites with no forced subscription. You stay the owner of your site.
