Presented By: Patrick Bieser, President, CEO & Founder of Northwoods

In the ever-evolving landscape of web content management, choosing the right CMS has become increasingly complex. What used to be a straightforward set of platform and hosting options – leaving you to focus your selection process primarily on features and ease of content management – has exploded into a huge array of (often confusing) ones. These include DIY models like Wix and Squarespace, CRM-integrated platforms like HubSpot, and robust SaaS platforms like Kentico and Adobe Experience Manager.
