Hi fellow LEDers.

I would like to seek out other's experiences using commercial CMS products. In particular, I'm researching CMS products that have the following:

  • Update capability for 20 to 30 people for specific areas of the site.
  • Multi-level access control.
  • Multi-stage publishing (a writer posts an update, which is viewable on a test environment, the editor approves and publishes to production).
  • Logs.

Thanks,

Regarding CMS. I am an enthusiastic advocate of HannonHill’s CMS product Cascade Server as I have used this with several clients to render web sites with changing content as SEO compliant sites using XML. The meta tag wizard and page construction when rendered make this a reliable and reasonably priced commercial software that works for us and our clients, time after time.

A client having used it on a publication site for a magazine based web site, was able to create a fully functioning site in record time and ease for a corporate site. They have a number of design construction features that set them apart as a push CMS rather than a dynamic pull page, which creates awkward URLs for SEO purposes. They appear to have the SEO concepts figured out and their pricing is one time based on a number of seats required for editing purposes and you can edit as many web site URLs as you can load your server down with to service.

Very cool - Cascade Server - ­ also see that Duke University uses them for the same reasons you are looking for.
