● Are you planning to build your business website? Before going any further, the first thing that should be decided is the platform.

● CMS or PHP framework appears to be the most popular choice for creating a website.

● The business owners are usually confused when it comes to deciding between these two amazing platforms for website creation.

Introduction

● The technical skills

● The budget

● The purpose

● The team

● The complexity

Parameters

● You will have to be proficient both in PHP programming language and the framework if you are using PHP frameworks.

● Content management system(CMS) does not require too much of technical proficiency and it is much easier to manage.

● Non-technical people can also manage various tasks such as updating the website, adding and editing content, etc.

The Technical Skills

● While most of the released PHP framework are released open source, not all CMS in PHP are open source.

● So if you are riding high on a budget, you can purchase the commercially best available CMS using PHP for your website.

● All the technical support for installation and maintenance will be provided if you have a budget to pay for it.

The Budget

● The selection of the platform also depends on the the purpose for which the website is being created.

● If you want to build a website with the sheer purpose of sharing and publishing content on the web, CMS should be your choice.

● If the main purpose of your website is anything other than sharing such as creating search engine, code library, etc, PHP framework should be your bet.

The Purpose

● The team which is going to handle the various proceedings of the website is crucial in deciding the kind of framework you should go for.

● A dedicated technical team of PHP programmers will enable you to select PHP framework over CMS.

● But if your team is not technically sound, CMS should be selected over PHP.

The Team

● As stated above, PHP framework is much more complex as compared to CMS but at the same time it is more flexible in terms of website implementation.

● If you are aiming for a website with hi-end features which are missing in CMS, select PHP framework for your website.

● The only thing that you should keep in mind is the fact that you must have the technical ability to deal with PHP framework.
