[thelist] Enterprise site architecture/CMS question

[orion]

Where does your content come from?

I would pick different CMS solutions based on the way your content is
provided. Content from a large group of writers and publishers I would use
something like Microsoft's CMS especially if you need to separate one set of
publishers from another. OTOH I have other sites that receive XML documents
once a day from 3rd party sites which I use to update a central database. If
your content all comes from in-house then you may want to use a custom
template that is easy to edit and cheap to build.

Hi all,

Wondering about your opinions on how to handle static content on a
large enterprise size site.

Imagine a site that has say 7 categories, each category has multiple
sub categories and theres roughly 200 pages, many with static
content. The template for most pages is the same or similar.

But the body of the template has varying content/HTML. I know there's
lots of ways to handle this content but I wonder what you all thought
was the most efficient. 

It doesn't seem that putting the content/html into a database is the
best way to go on one hand - although it would seem to make editing
that content easy.

Anyway, thoughts, links etc ..

Tom
