Here is a specific, current, real-life, scenario that beckons a CMS solution. What are your recommendations WebProWorld?
Regarding:
-- What do you want to accomplish?
-- Who will produce what kind of content?
-- Who will the users be?
-- Do you need to refine or refocus requirements?
Here are the details.
The goal is twofold. First, one aspect of the goal is to provide an information resource to a small 'niche' segment of a particular sportsman-type of consumer. For numerous reasons, the venue through which this information is to be provided must be a website. Secondly, the other aspect of the goal is to produce a small revenue from selling small blocks of advertising space on some of the aforementioned website’s pages. The advertising space will be sold to businesses specifically addressing the tiny ‘niche’ market segment associated with this particular sportsman-type of consumer.
Further, the website’s information will be timely, and very focused upon a few selected topics relevant to the particular sportsman-type of consumer being addressed by the website. Seven [7] very well delineated, extremely narrow-of-scope portions of the website’s information will be written once a week, each week, by individuals intimately associated with their respective portions of the website’s information. These ‘external author individuals’ live in, and will be writing from, different parts of the USA. Due to different preferences among these ‘external author individuals,’ these ‘external author individuals’ have the option of providing their weekly article by regular email to the website owner, or by logging in and composing the article via the website. The website’s article composition space (one unique, separate login for each of the seven authors) must be buffered so that the article the author is currently composing will not – when submitted – automatically substitute that same author’s previous article on the website until the article is approved by the website’s owner/administrator. Absolutely no pictures, audio files, video files, clickable links or the like will be provided by the ‘external author individuals’ – they will provide only standard text. Nearly all of the ‘articles’ provided by the ‘external author individuals’ will be very small (e.g. approximately 200 words or less). The goal of this entire matter is such that only the current ‘articles’ will be available to the website’s audience at any time – no saved, archived, or otherwise stored content provided by the ‘external author individuals’ will be provided on this website. Additionally, the website’s owner will also produce a very limited amount of content (e.g. approximately four [4] articles each year). The website’s audience, as indicated in the first aspect of the previously stated goal, is a tiny ‘niche’ market segment of sportsman-type individuals. Thus, the website’s users will be the owner/administrator, the external authors, and of course the audience as indicated.
No website feature other than those described are desired.
