Content Management Systems
Content Management Systems are used to create websites and publish documents, without having to know the ins and outs of web development. Content Management Systems usually require a server to be set up. Before attempting to set up your own, talk to either your Intersect eResearch analyst or our on-campus IT support group to discover hosting options available to you. Wikipedia maintains a comprehensive list of Content Management Systems.

Drupal Software is available at: www.drupal.org |
Building complex websites without the knowledge of web development. Drupal is extremely powerful, and very flexible. It is preferable that all University Websites be run under the UoN Web Services framework (Refer CMS2 in this table). |
Drupal is not standalone; it requires a web server to host the files. There is a slight learning curve for the software. |
