Hello,
Can anyone recommend a basic CMS setup? I was thinking something like:
Personal Dev machines:
Design templates: developers design the templates on their machines to be eventually stored on the Intranet.
Intranet server:
Runs the actual CMS containing the templates and DB
Add content : Different people access templates and add content from across enterprise
Content is stored in the CMS database on this machine.
Production:
Push the templates and the CMS database from Intranet to production to be accessed by the main webserver.
Questions:
Is this config overly simplistic or feasable?
Do I have the basic process down?
Would the CMS database be installed on the web servers themselves? e.g., two loadbalanced web servers...
Also, any suggestions? It's a Microsoft platform so I was considering Microsoft CMS, but I'm open..
Thanks..
What kind of content do I have to manage?
What types of people will be managing?
What formats should the content be in?
What security requirements apply?
etc.
Then, you can look at the major vendors to see which applies to your requirements.
It seems like you're talking about Web content? If so, I think developers working on their own machines is OK as long as you have clear separation of responsibilities and maybe a good source code management system?
I think the ultimate architecture will depend on the software you choose. Any other info you can povide?
