I just switched CMS. I am a total nerd I spent months looking and comparing them all and doing a ton of research. I am still doing some final tweaks on my CMS as we speak. Some of the people I shoot for offered me their custom CMS and I had a ton of different things to look at.

A couple of tips

How I compared.

a.) Features I need
b.) b-list features - things that would be nice, but I don't need now
c.) who do I know that is using it, this is a biggie for me.

All CMS owners are going to push their own product that is common sense. Who do I know that has a Carma member’s area that can I call? Who do I know who has an Elevated X site that can I call?

I did that first because if a CMS doesn't support their product why should I spend the money on them I will find someone who does.

Also talk to people that do the same thing you do, and that you want to be like. I know this sounds strange, but trust me. For me, I run glamour / teen / solo girl sites. So something that might work for a BBW Multi girl site, might not work for me Yea…Yea… people say content is content, but it is not. My members know who lightspeed, ftv, and others like that are.

From talking to people I limited my choices down to like 2 CMS

Well from that point their feature where similar (one had a bit more) but again it wasn't features I was going to use right away so what did I care.

Then I looked at price

That is what sold me on Elevated X

It is a 150 dollars a month let me REPEAT THAT $150 A MONTH, UNLIMITED SITES, NO BULLSHIT, No games... just $150 a month… that is like 5 or 6 sales. I thought to myself, I will get Elevated-X installed and start testing it. There is NO better test then to get it installed and working (features, spec, and user comments are one thing, but to get it installed and working that is priceless)

Well long story short, I got Elevated X installed, and fell in love with it. I have had it for like 2 months or so and I could not be happier.

Hell, my suggestion is spend the 150 dollars a month test Elevated X out, and see if it is for you. (He charges 500 set up fee again not a big deal 500 dollar set up fee is nothing)

However, I mean for a 150 a month spend a month or two testing it, place a link in your current members’ area, and see what your members think. Worst case you are out 500 dollars, best case you move to a CMS that you love.
