My work requires lots of meetings and talks with clients. Very often I have to present the information that is very changeable. It can vary even two times a day. Till recently it was a real problem because I don’t like using papers during my presentations but I had to.

But our manager made me try spy earpiece – a small device that I have to put into my ear and get all the necessary information. I was a bit skeptical about it at first. I though that it would be inconvenient and people would notice something in my ear. But I was pleasantly surprised with this device – completely invisible, very convenient and entirely reliable.

Now between my meetings I can have a rest and don’t worry about figures. My partner will tell me the latest figures. By the way, my clients are surprised how I can know and remember all the figures. I’m not going to reveal my secret!

Today every even small company has own site with the information about its history, services, personnel and so everything like that. Web sites development is one of the most popular services in IT world. Thousands of web development companies offer to create best site ever for the clients. The quality of the site will depend on many factors, but one of the most important of them is which content management system will be used.

There are tons of free cms for web site development. But mostly customers don’t even think about this question. They just want to have something convenient to add content and pictures, something that makes their new site good looking in different browsers and rarely ask their web development company what CMS will be used. The question of the security is always discussed. But it isn’t made properly in most of the cases. Customers got their password (then change it for their granny’s name or date they first kissed) and feel really great managing their site. The picture of overall happiness is made.

Everybody is satisfied. And no one of the customers (maybe one for a thousand) would google simple phrase, for example “crack joomla” or any other free cms which was used for their site creation. The number of pages, found by Google for this request is really scaring. It is about 1,340,000. For request “crack joomla site” we got 1,290,000 pages. Joomla was chosen because it’s popular and frequently used, nothing personal. So, some of the pages we got contain step-by-step description of what you should do to spoil life of site owner for terribly long period. And it is not funny at all. Overall happiness will disappear at the moment, when site owner understands, that his competitors or, which is more likely, a schoolboy just for fun can destroy months of work for just half an hour.

After that comes the question: is it really worth saving money on free CMS? Can it be your black day when someone decides to make something really bad to your site? Such thing certainly can never happen to you, but you will also never feel safe. Paid CMS is not completely safe. It also can be cracked (as everything in our life) but… There is no reason to explain, that site owner will sleep calmly at night because he will be sure, that there won’t be more than million pieces of advice how to crack his system. Nobody would spend some days to crack it just for fun. Site owner or creator will get unique product and support team for it in all cases. Most of such unique paid CMS often have extra seo friendly functions and they are more convenient in usage. So when you are trying to choose right cms for your web development company to create sites and earn much money, think about your future customers and their site’s security. And think about your health. Because if you make sites for customers it will be only your fault if something wrong happened. And you will spend your life explaining and fixing everything.
