- Use clear, concise language that accurately reflects your needs.
- Be specific regarding the functionality you need.
- Ask for details on how tasks are performed and demos of the functionality in action.
Multilingual Support.
- Establish early in the process whether you need multilingual support.
- Will the CMS be counted on to automate the process?
- Research multilingual support features to ensure that the CMS can offer the support necessary to your site

- Can the CMS scale up to the size of your organization?
- Make sure it can serve pages and content quickly regardless of size.
- If your site is high traffic, make sure the CMS can handle the number of requests your traffic will generate.
