Competitors claim that a content management system makes website maintenance easier and quicker. In truth, however, maintenance costs are higher. A CMS costs more to buy, and to manage it you need a web server with a database, so you end up paying a higher service rental each month. Competitors argue that less expensive solutions such as Microsoft™ ExpressionWeb/FrontPage™ contain hidden costs. The truth is that once you have made the one-off purchase, usually for less than the price of a CMS, such products do not give rise to any further costs. Competitors further argue that only a CMS provides authorization management that restricts the areas of a website that a particular member of staff can modify. Yet in most small and medium-sized companies, the truth is that only one or two staff maintain the site in any case, so authorization management is not actually required. But, if you do need it, it can also be realized using Microsoft™ ExpressionWeb/FrontPage™.
 

A CMS makes you dependent on the manufacturer of your website, as they are usually the only ones who are able to alter its appearance. A tool such as Microsoft™ ExpressionWeb/FrontPage™, on the other hand, guarantees that you can edit all parts of your site and exploit all the technical opportunities afforded by the Internet.
