CSS Templates are gaining popularity over Content Management Systems as the preferred method of internet web design and presence. CSS or Cascading Style Sheets and CMS or Content Management Systems are two options businesses have to manage their business web presence. For small business owners, the choice is easy as Content Management Systems are expensive to buy, set up, and maintain. Cascading Style Sheets are inexpensive by comparison and require very little maintenance. Medium and even larger business’ have to make informed decisions as to what is right for them. In comparing CSS to CMS systems, here are five of the most obvious reasons Cascading Style Sheets are the right choice for most business consumers.

Today’s consumers want it and they want it now. The one thing business cannot afford to be is slow. Customer’s will not wait for pages that either are very slow to load or do not load at all. Content Management Systems are driven by databases, when a customer instigates a search on their home computer, the server has to dig through thousands of bit of information on hundreds of pages to find it and load the correct page.

Static sites containing CSS don’t have this problem. They load quickly and easily without hindrances like tables to slow them down.

With very few exceptions, the CMS system has limited template designs and sometimes only one style to use throughout the site. If the company wanted to change the look of their online presence, a designer would have to come in and reload all new templates. Most companies will not undertake this time consuming and daunting task.

1) In CSS, anyone can go online, and within minutes, find, and download a template. Most of the time, the templates are free. They can be loaded in one page or all the pages, also within minutes and in many cases, this can be accomplished with a click or two of the mouse.

2) In a CMS dynamic web site environment, URL strings with numbers and symbols cause problems for search engines web bots. This can severely damage your standings in search engine rankings, as spiders cannot index the sites rank

3) An over abundance of parameters in dynamic Content Management Systems URLs can actually repel web crawlers. This is not the case when using CSS Templates.

4) The Difficult of use factor comes into play with the CMS system when you consider training costs and programming, fees for licensing, service and maintenance fees. Overall costs after all fees and implementation costs could potentially skyrocket when you consider that many systems do not have direct and dedicated support. These problems simply do not exist with Cascading Style Sheets on a static site.

5) Finally, remember the lack of dedicated support we spoke of? If you don’t back-up CMS systems on a regular basis you run the risk of losing your data. It only takes one missed back-up and an unforeseen problem to destroy all the data your company needs to survive. CSS Templates require no back-ups.

These five major points are just a few of the differences that swing the tide in favor of CSS over CMS. It is very important to know all your options before taking on the risks. CMS are the absolute best choice for large corporations who need the ease of site management and data that they provide.
