Five Signs It’s Time to Break Up with Your Current CMS (Infographic)
CMS...we really need to talk.


Breaking up is hard to do. Unless you’re one of the 7% of people who have broken up with someone on Valentine’s Day. Then, maybe it’s not so tough if all the signs indicate an inevitable split.
Not all relationships are built to last. Especially when it comes to your content management system. If your CMS is more trouble than it’s worth, here are five reasons it might be time to say “It’s not me. It’s you.”
Why It's Time to Break Up With Your Current CMS
1. It's Slow to Respond
When you publish content, your current CMS lags. Or crashes. Or takes forever to load. Great love – and great content – should never keep you waiting.
2. It's Not Growing With You
Your content needs have evolved. But your CMS hasn’t. If it can’t keep up with your ambitions, it’s holding you back. Meaning it’s time for you to let go.
3. You're Insecure Because It's Insecure
A relationship without trust is doomed. If your CMS has security vulnerabilities that can’t be fixed, your content – and your heart – are at risk.
4. You're Always Making Up
In a strong relationship, you should be each other’s solution, not problem. If you’re fixing problems instead of publishing content, it’s time to move on.
5. The Thrill is Gone
Do marketers and developers complain about things that they could tolerate before? Content creation should be exciting, not annoying.
