Governments at the State level show a strong preference for open-source solutions among identifiable CMS platforms, with Drupal and WordPress contributing significantly to this trend.
The large proportion of unknown CMS usage (21.8%) adds an element of uncertainty to the landscape since we cannot identify if the CMS used is proprietary or open source.
- Identify the most popular CMS platforms used by cities, counties, and States, helping you benchmark your choices against industry trends.
- Discuss how CMS usage varies based on government level and population size, allowing you to make decisions based on the experiences of similar entities.
- Guide you on selecting between open-source vs proprietary CMS options, considering factors like cost, flexibility, and community support.
- Provide recommendations on how to evaluate and select a CMS that meets your organization’s requirements.
