Wordpress - A Complete Content Management System There is also longevity to keep in mind. learn online platform paid software might go out of business or may decide to no longer license or sell the software. The costs could also go up. Each of these leaves a roadblock in continuing to develop your site. Popular open source projects guarantee a much longer longevity than paid software. Even during the times an open source project closed down many users will keep the project going under a different name because they enjoy using the software leaving you with options as opposed to having nothing.    Design and Content Separation: Afraid of letting other people update your site? Afraid of updating your own site for fear of messing up the layout? Fear no more! A content management system is database driven, so you can create and update all the content on your website in a completely design free environment, meaning no more accidental HTML deletion.    The tools are accessible. Even amateurs can create blogs, YouTube videos, on-line forums, even entire e-learning sites. Yes, they are amateurs, and some of their products are amateurish. But your clients don't necessarily see it that way. Rather, they see other people offering e-learning technology, and wonder why you don't.    Sure, there is some bad eLearning out there. Just because someone can use eLearning authoring software, doesn't mean they know anything about adult learning principles. The same applies to face to face trainers - just because someone knows their subject well, doesn't mean they know how to transfer that knowledge into meaningful and engaging learning (telling isn't training!). Good trainers also have training skills, and good elearning courses have been built around solid instructional design principles.    As is obvious, you find the answers to these questions by interacting with the client personnel responsible for the project, the subject-matter experts (SMEs), and the representatives of the learners.    Assuming CMS is what you need. Your next question should be: "How much may it cost?" There are paid and free (most open source) solutions. Narrow your search according to your budget.    Although most of the popular CMS's are free to download and install, they will require a web designer to set-up and create a working template that will reflect your website's brand image; logo, style, colours and functionality etc. More on that in a mo.
