I have recently run across major problems with three clients using Content Management Systems for their websites.
In all three cases, the code output by the CMS is just fine and should not prevent SE spiders from tranisiting through the sites but working within the often limited confines of the CMS drives me batty. Each CMS is somewhat different from the others, thus adding the time it takes to learn the system to the job.
I am having problems applying unique titles for each page in the 3 sites I am working on. For some reason, the programmers who designed these sytems seem to have assumed that one title cascading across all pages in the site is OK. There are other massive limitations in moving text around and adding different elements to the site but with a bit of work, most of them can be overcome.
Does anyone have any secrets to working with a CMS that I have missed? I am at the point of wanting to return my
SEO work in NOTEPAD files to the my client's webmasters and instructing them to deal with it. (I don't think that would be very polite though)
thanks
