Most of the Web Designers market their web design services focussing on the usual marketing talks coupled with attractive visuals. Some even using model actors to attract while completely ignoring the heart of a website, which is the technology that it is built on.

Any open source web application like CMS, should be based on MVC architecture.

We strongly recommend to ensure that your web-designer is providing you a CMS that is based on MVC Architecture ? Do not be surprised if the Web Designer does not understand this.

What is MVC ?

MVC stands for Model, View and Controller.

MVC is a software architecture that is designed to separate the programming code that handles presentation, application logic and business logic.  Thus by definition, this architecture is structured for protecting the return on investment in Web Applications Development.

Model - contains the business or application functional logic.
View -  contains the presentation layer. No logic or intelligence is used here.
Controller - Receive input from user via controls defined in the user interface of a View, to process it and send output to the user

Benefits of Systems built on MVC architecture:

- Easy to maintain and modify as easy to locate for website maintenance
- Improves reliability and security
- Makes expanding the website features less complex as the additions of new features will not knock the entire website.

Know the Web aTechnology - if the Web Designer is providing you a CMS or Web Application on PHP/MySQL or ASP.Net or Java, always insist on the service provider providing MVC-based architecture.
