    Six Apart
    Is your business an enterprise level business that has more than a half dozen different content types? If so, then you might want to use a dedicated CMS rather than Movable Type. Movable Type is best used on small / medium sized businesses and is not the best solution for a full-fledged CMS. If you're using your content for something other than just displaying a website, then it's probably not for you. Movable Type works great for news/blogging sites. In fact, Daring Fireball, one of the most popular Apple-centric blogs is using Movable Type as its publishing platform.

    It's suitable if you want a custom website and have a development team dedicated to coding sections, as well as a content/marketing team dedicated to building the pages using those sections. It's not appropriate for an entrepreneur who's just getting started and doesn't have enough resources/team members.

    Pros
    Six Apart
    • Easy to use straight out of the box, very user friendly with an intuitive interface.
    • Great for team use where there are multiple editors and writers fixing and editing each other's works. It's easy to track who last made the latest edits.
    • Stellar support team and system. I've found that Moveable Type's support system is generally more responsive and helpful than WordPress.

    Cons
    Six Apart
    • Especially on the older versions, the limited number of well-developed third-party plugins is problematic for efficiently developing a well-functioning website.
    • Versions of movable type which didn't allow pages to be constructed were difficult to create continuity in design and easily editable pages for our editors.
    • The installation process could be simplified to make it easier for those new to a CMS to install.

    I think there are still improvements to be made. I haven't tapped in to the full functionality of the CMS yet but the rating I give it now is only based on what I've been able to use it for

    It satisfies our needs perfectly; I don't see us moving onto a different platform anytime soon (or at all).

    I think it's really good and easy to get the hang of, but I'm sure there's still room for improvement. It definitely took me a bit to get used to.

    Movable Type can be compared to WordPress. It's easy to use, and I would say Movable Type is actually more user-friendly.

    Return on Investment
    Six Apart
    • Provided a blogging platform when we needed one.
    • Helped us compare other blogging platforms as a baseline for what minimums we require and what we don't want.
    • Users often refused to use Movable Type and would go around our official system in order to use my more friendly software.
