Thanks for sharing these points, Joe. Great summary of what we wrestle with on a daily basis with our clients, and I appreciate having the talking points! You ARE the Czar of CM!

Brett, you are totally right. I think a big problem though is that the “value” of a website with or without a CMS is extremely undervalued due to the proliferation of web design software and the ability to work globally.

I am a pretty strong advocate of certification programs much like architects, engineers and even interior designers. It makes sense. Let’s inject the value back into the industry.

It’s about value… People buy on value, not price. Anyone who purchases because something is cheap will end up disappointed. They’ll pay to have someone update the site for them constantly (or, their website will die). My 2cents.

Thanks Kris,
We get a lot of questions that this post is set to answer… or at least try to answer. Hopefully it helps.

I think with popularity people will understand the inherent need. However, convincing them of price is a different tale.

I like this Joseph. Very well said. I wish we could send this kind of info to every person who thinks a static site is the only way to go because they do not have to pay as much for it. This is truly a large problem to get around, especially in this economy, but my hope is that the more popular they become the easier it will be to convince everybody.
