What is Plone?
Plone is a leading open source content management system (CMS). Governmental organizations, NGOs, non-profits, educational institutions and major corporations have chosen Plone for their websites because Plone offers enterprise-level scalability, powerful workflow options, multi-lingual support and a security record second to none.

Why Should I Use a CMS?
One of the most common arguments against using a CMS here at the UW is that currently it is possible to create a good, basic website on the depts.washington.edu domain, where the cost of hosting is free. However, this argument fails to take into account the real costs of the development model it relies on.
