DNN CMS - The best website design software for business

Excellent website design is expensive, and for good reason when you are paying for expertise that is in very short supply in South Africa.

And depending on a website designer is also risky especially in an industry where career mobility is so high.

It makes sense therefore to make use of website design templates and website design software that allows you to create great custom design websites dependably and affordably.

No web design software is perfect, but there are some that are definitely better than others.

Below are all the features we looked for when choosing a Content Management System for our business.

Open-Source Community Software

• The free community edition means more bang for your buck, means more of your budget can go into building a great website, rather than into software design or development costs.

Usability

• DNN software is arguably the easiest CMS to manage with an intuitive user interface and extensive user manuals.
• Building your own website is extremely easy, once you have a website design template.
