2021 Simple CMS Survey Results

4/22/21

We love our content management system (CMS), and we want you to love it, too.

It’s why we’ve added a suite of robust tools to the CMS over the years, including an audit report, locations manager, staff directory tool, blog system, alert manager, financial calculators and easy-update rates tool.

It’s also why we conduct annual surveys to learn how our clients feel about the CMS — both insights into what’s working well and where there’s room for improvement.

In fact, we’ve augmented our simple CMS based on feedback from prior surveys, adding a link checker, webform builder, and two-factor authentication and password enhancements. We’re not ones to rest on our laurels, however, which is why we continue to collect data.

Here are the results of the 2021 survey:

On average, how often do you access the CMS?

All answers:

Almost never: 0%
Once or twice a month: 16.67%
Once or twice a week: 58.33%
Once a day: 16.67%
Multiple times a day: 8.33%

Our takeaway:

BrownBoots’ easy-to-use CMS is one of our big differentiators. Giving you the freedom to quickly manage your own website takes our custom bank websites to the next level. We’re thrilled to see how often our clients are taking advantage of these tools.

What tasks do you typically complete in the CMS?

Our takeaway:

All of the various CMS tools are being used to some capacity, and most of them are being used regularly.
