Implementing the CMS: Integration and Testing
Integration and Testing: Once the planning process is done, you're not nearly out of the woods in terms of getting your CMS up and running. Once you and your team (or third-party provider/developer) have planned the implementation process, you'll still need to actually bring your project into the CMS of your choosing. To do this, you'll have to set up navigation menus for different web pages, create workflows for different processes (such as creating thank you pages that can be triggered when people sign up to be on your mailing list) and, perhaps most importantly, you'll need to test everything. If you're working with a closed source provider, this testing will be done by the third party of your choosing. If you choose an open source solution, however, the testing process will be much more transparent. Just make sure that every aspect of your new website is tested thoroughly before it goes live.
