  13. Methodology In order to investigate and compare three open source CMS solutions; the same website design would be developed and built out on all three. This would allow for a controlled comparison between usability features for designers and developers.

  14. Methodology Next the three sites would be tested by business owners who would be asked to preform a series of tasks like: adding new content changing an image updating a product listing

  15. Methodology Though this process the usability of the three different CMS solutions could be compared from a non-designer/developers point of view. Based on this research a series of proposed improvements could be made to further the development and easy of use for CMS solutions in the future.
