Have many of you designed applications or other interactive interfaces on top of content management systems? Do you find that designing for a CMS-driven website implies a unique set of issues or constraints? I recently worked on a project where we pushed the abilities of a CMS as far as possible then built custom apps on top of it. While I always work closely with front and back-end developers to get feedback on IA and design deliverables, it was even more critical in this project. We had to make sure that suggested features were not only possible, but made sense within the chosen CMS. I imagine that if you have a developer that is an expert in that particular CMS it would be easier to break it apart and build upon it, but that may not always be realistic.
I'd love to hear about your experiences! Also... are there any good books written for designers/IAs/<insert your title here> about these issues? Thanks!
