What is CMS Strategy and Setup?

Choosing a content management system is a decision about who will maintain your site for the next five years, not about which demo looks nicest today.

A CMS decision has to match three things: the skills of the people who will edit content, the complexity of what you publish, and your budget for maintenance. WordPress, Drupal and TYPO3 are all good systems and all wrong in the wrong context. We start from your editorial workload and work backwards to the tool.

How we use CMS Strategy and Setup

How Clearwell Digital uses CMS Strategy and Setup

Requirements before demos

We map who publishes what, how often, and with which approvals, before anyone opens a product website.

Honest comparison

We give you a short written comparison with total cost of ownership, not just licence fees.

Setup with governance

We configure roles, templates and a content model so the site stays consistent after we leave.

What you get with CMS Strategy and Setup

  • A written recommendation with reasons, including the option we rejected and why
  • A content model and template set your editors can work with unaided
  • Roles and permissions that match your real approval process
  • Editor training and a short handbook

Choosing or replacing a CMS?

We will map your editorial workload first, so the recommendation fits your team rather than our preferences.
