Abstract - In this work, the method of selection of software content management systems (CMS), the most relevant requirements of the different types of resources created by information systems. At the same time tries to sum up in aggregated form requirements to web resources of various orientations (the site-presentation, a theme site, blog, portal, community site, etc.). On the other hand, analyzes the function of the most popular CMS in order to highlight their groups and used as evaluation criteria to determine the best content management system conformity requirements to web resources that you can create with them.
l. Introduction
The main task of content management systems (CMS) is to establish in a short period of functional sites, effectively solving the tasks entrusted to them. This site content is created, usually on the basis of ready templates, through the formation of functionally complete sets of blocks and then filling them specifically targeted information. Templates sites, individual pages or the functional blocks tend to be producers of CMS in the form of ready libraries. Thus, the process of working with the system occurs without the participation of programmers, or with the minimum amount to create the program code or markup sites. So far, known and widely used a few dozen content management systems. Thus, choosing the most suitable of them for specific solutions, the customer web resource problems is quite complex.
ll. Main Part
For a comparative analysis of CMS-systems, it is necessary above all to its basic criteria. It was decided to narrow the range of the analyzed systems, taking into account the preferences, which determine their choice of pre-existing, or the most likely users. For an objective assessment of preferred service www.wordstat.yandex.ru. This resource shows the monthly statistics of queries a search engine Yandex with the possibility of sorting the results by region. After analyzing the most popular queries online, which is the word «CMS», have identified the main criteria for selection of software products: a free system, implemented as a Web application created using the language PHP. The dominant number of CMS matches the criteria. Further, the system chosen by popularity and thematic focus to include products that can successfully implement the project of one of the five types of sites: business card, a theme, the portal, the blog community. As a result, six were selected CMS-systems: Drupal, e107, Joomla, PHP-Nuke, uCoz, WordPress. After determining the list of products need to model was to define the criteria by which you can more objectively evaluate the CMS. Following consideration reny fifteen criteria selected for comparison tion content management systems. Ease of learning - the use of CMS, without further study of literature, or time-consuming. Visual Editor - WYSIWYG editor and the implementation of its functionality. Templates - a directory of finished designs for CMS. The presence of localized documentation - the quantity and quality of translated materials in international languages, plugins, themes for a particular CMS.

Support - Forums, message boards, community, online community (fan sites) and their ac-regulation. Convenience panel administrator - how successfully implemented internal navigation Administrative stratorov with which they have to face when working with your site. Plug-ins - additional software modules it separately connected to the CMS to extend the functionality. Comment - the ability to add text versions of communication for expressing their opinions, or supplement the material available administrator. Blocks / widgets - distributed information-tion of filling in the area of the site, placing the individual information fields in the specified areas, and editing their withdrawal. Working with images - implementation function WYSIWYG editor, save the picture, the possibility of creating an image-thumbnail to display a preliminary survey and many other functions for working with images. The fight against spam - the availability of protection from automatically adding the ad-tion or undesirable content. Most often sold using CAPTCHA, the black list of keywords, Spam Karma. Connection Forum - forum in the presence of basic new version and the possibility of integrating an external body. Also draws attention to the functionality of the synchronized product. Support the sponsors - the possibility of multi-moderation and good administration of the site. Export / Import - ability to transfer data are from one resource to another, the realization of Ping and trekbakov. Updates - features updated versions of the implementation of the engine is already designed the project. Estimates for each of the criteria set out in the light of the basic version of the software product and the opportunity to expand the functionality of this criterion with additional plug-ins. During each CMS was found professionals who work with the software long time, most of them are related to the time development of Russian-speaking communities of CMS systems. Description rayas on its own experience gained during the research, and information from professionals sheets were written profiles of each of the contract value comparison for each content management system. The results of the evaluation of systems expressed in numerical terms. Score sets were compared with those of other CMS on specific criteria. The total amount of points for each criterion for all the house of CMS should be equal to fifteen. Each type of priority sites is para-meters of comparison. On this basis, was developed at the table of coefficients of significance of criteria of comparison for the specific types of sites. Final results were obtained by sum-mirovaniya estimates to the coefficients. Total, new figures show how the rational use of a specific product for the effective implementation of the required type of site (see Fig. 1). From the diagram can be obvious to the leaders of each type of site: - Business card: PHP-Nuke, WordPress, e107. All three systems are very simple to train and are very convenient and clear panel to administer our website. The basic functionality allows you to develop a full business card site on short notice. The large number of templates for PHP-Nuke, WordPress will provide color and originality to your site. - Theme: Drupal, Joomla, PHP-Nuke, uCoz, e107. To create a thematic map like any CMS on the list. For a more sophisticated and flexible site should use Drupal or Joomla. A more simple but no less effective systems can be PHP-Nuke, uCoz and e107. - Portal: Drupal, Joomla. For portals include sites with a complex multi-tier hierarchy and content base. In such projects is important versatility CMS. Therefore, the best fit such a powerful system such as Drupal and Joomla. These projects can be implemented and at a simple CMS, but in this case, ease of use and time spent moving away into the background, the main thing - it is flexible and multi-gostoronnyaya functionality. - Blog: WordPress. To implement the online diary should use this product, which is the most popular for blogging. The functionality of any of the tested systems enable CMS to develop a blog engine, but it requires additional time. - Community: Drupal, PHP-Nuke, uCoz, WordPress, e107. For this purpose, we offer to use Drupal, initially indicative of addiction sites of this type. If you are not able or unwilling to deal with a fairly concise Drupal - lightweight alternative to be PHP-Nuke and e107. It is important to note a few details that can not display the numbers. The study is very well-Dowa zarekomen a WordPress. Simplicity and mnogofunktsio-nalnost CMS has become the key to the highest points earned in the course of the study. However, WordPress is aimed at creating a blog, so for such a project as a portal, it is not rational. Due to the fact that the criteria for comparison were taken common for all the CMS and do not take into account the specifics and the implementation of specific modules, WordPress can show itself as a good platform for the implementation of any project. The low scores obtained uCoz in all five species DAH sites, due to the fact that the private project on the type of SaaS (Software as a Service - Software as a Service arena, duemy) has many advantages and nedostat-kov compared to any other CMS, distribution -nyaemoy under a free license. uCoz performs best on a thematic map or a community. At the engine developed by many communities, the most popular of which are tens of thousands attend every day.
lll. Conclusion
The results of the work can give an idea of how difficult choices suitable CMS. For a complete analysis and a good choice to be taken into account many aspects. In this work a method of selection and comparison of software systems, CMS, the most relevant requirements of the different types of Web-generated resources. During working with project was developed a website www.FindCMS.org.ua, which is implemented automatically selecting best CMS under the criteria specified items described in the methodology.
