With over 9000 associations’ technologies tracked, we can examine what Content Management Platforms (CMS) are in use by associations. WordPress is the obvious leader with over one third of these associations using that as their CMS.
The next largest group would be those organizations using the CMS platform that comes with their AMS. Since AMSs like YourMembership, Wild Apricot and MemberClicks have large numbers of clients, they have large numbers of associations using their CMS platforms. Across them, roughly 75% use the CMS that comes with their AMS.
After that, Drupal has around a 5% share of our associations, and the remainder are split across a number of platforms. Looking at the revenue of the organizations, those with more revenue may have Sitecore, Sitefinity, HubSpot CMS, or Adobe Experience Manager; while those with smaller revenues will typically use the Squarespace, Wix, or GoDaddy CMS.
At the time of this posting, we are tracking over 80 different CMS platforms used by associations. Obviously the CMS needs to work with how you manage your membership, be that one that is integrated with your AMS, comes with your AMS, has plugins to manage your membership, or just has an ecommerce platform.
