Desarrollo de un CMS que sirva como guía para personalizar sitios web de pequeñas empresas utilizando PHP y MYSQL

Abstract

Small businesses face challenges in implementing and maintaining a Content Management System (CMS) or website that adapts to their business needs, mainly due to high implementation and maintenance costs, as well as a lack of personnel with the necessary technical training. Therefore, the goal of this curricular integration project focuses on the development of a CMS using PHP and MySQL, specifically aimed at small businesses. The agile Scrum methodology was applied, and the technologies utilized include PHP for server logic and MySQL for database management. Among the modules of the system, the content editing module stands out, allowing users to modify existing content, ensuring that information is up-to-date and relevant. Additionally, based on the Bottom-Up and Top-Down methodology, a time estimate was made for the development of a web page created with the proposed CMS. A comparison was conducted between a traditionally developed website and the same website built using SimpleCMS. The result showed that the website created with SimpleCMS took 96.54% less time than the traditionally developed website. In this context, it is concluded that implementing the developed CMS reduces development time.
