In the future, we are planning on doing away with our home-built CMS and moving to a Dreamweaver-based template system for our primary web site. We really have no need for a full CMS on that particular web site. (We have looked and do not plan on implementing any, not even FarCry, at this time.) Although most pages will include dynamic content (header/footer), very few of them will be completely custom coded and, when required, the custom code will be written by one or two developers. Currently, all content is maintained on the live, production site with little testing. This content is primarily maintained by administrative assistants or department heads. There may be around 10-ish content administrators with very little technical experience. Also, there are no separate environments for development or QA at this time. That said, I want to implement totally-separate Development and QA environments where content is first created and approved before publishing to the production web site. This is nothing out of the ordinary. Obviously, the test and QA sites will allow us to build and test the custom code before it is placed on the production site. For those of you in a similar situation, I would like to know how you handle the process of content administration. Do you require your content admins to make all content additions and modifications on the Dev/QA sites before they are made live? Do you also let them move the changes to production? Or, do you follow a strict procedure where only certain people can promote changes from QA to production? We are also looking at the option of just having all changes forwarded to one of three content administrators and then removing access for all those other people. Ideas? Suggestions?
