Chapter 3. Understanding your Requirements

We have reviewed different types of open source CMSs. However, before selecting a software, we must understand what are the requirements for our site. Once the requirements are clear, selecting and deploying the software is much easier.

In this chapter we will:

• Clarify and set our expectations for Oprah's Yoga site
• Measure the scale—how big is the site and how big is the audience?
• Determine the standards to comply with and the need to work with other systems
• List the features we want to add to the site
