Content Management Systems: Out-of-the-Box Solutions or Do it Yourself Solutions?

Sustavi za upravljanje web sadržajem neophodna su stavka gotovo svake web stranice. Oni klijentu daju mogućnost preinake sadržaja neovisno o njegovim programerskim sposobnostima, tako smanjujući troškove njemu, a olakšavajući i smanjujući angažman kreatoru stranice. Ovaj radi nudi povijesni pregled nastanka takvih sustava i popratnih tehnologija, nudi pregled raznih potencijalnih arhitektura sustava i obrađuje usporedbu sustava za upravljanje web sadržajem u samostalnoj izradi s već gotovim sustavima.

This thesis covers the situations in which and out-of-the-box solution is best, but also the ones in which a DIY system should be used
