The Deming Cycle - also know as the PDCA Cycle (Plan, Do, Check, Act) - to web design. If you never heard of Deming Cycle, this model (made popular by Edwards Deming) describes an iterative process designed to drive continuous improvement typically used in business process reengineering and in quality management. This process has four main steps:

- Plan: establish objectives and define methods to reach them;
- Do: implement what you planned;
- Check: measure and compare obtained results against expected result;
- Act: take action to improve what you implement.

This circular approach can be very useful if applyed to web development expecially in order to:

- improve the quality of your work;
- organize your code in code snippets (or classes) to reuse in your projects in order to work faster and more efficiently;
- simplify and rationalize the workflow of activities during development process;

The content management system you choose can really make a huge difference in how much time you (or your clients) spend keeping a site updated and maintained. There’s a huge variety out there—some estimates put the number at around 1700 different options. Some are great…some, not so much.

Below are ten useful guidelines to consider when choosing a CMS, followed by rundowns on ten great CMS options available and how they stack up based on the guidelines.

1. The CMS you choose should be really good at whatever the main function of your website is.
2. A CMS needs to work intuitively.
3. The backend needs to be standardized.
4. The backend needs to be logical and well-organized.
5. The right CMS shouldn’t have a ton of extra functionality you’ll never use.
6. The right CMS should be easy for non-geeks to use.
7. It needs to include a WYSIWYG editor.
8. The pages it creates should be fast-loading and have simple code.
9. The template engine should allow you complete creative control.
10. The right CMS should have adequate support and documentation.
