Using a CMS (such as TYPO3) significantly augments search engine friendliness due to superior page design
CMS-enabled sites are update more frequently (no need to upload ftp)
The use of a CMS facilitates conformity to established standards because the use of content segments allows the standardization of HTML code
Start with defining your sitemap and the titles of each section
Verify the functionalities of your chosen CMS and its relevance to your needs
Make sure that the CMS is "SEO-friendly" (re-writing the URL, xml sitemap, etc.)
Make sure that your provider uses standardized development frameworks (JQUERY, BLUEPRINT...)
Do not minimize your contribution to the project. The content is even more important than the 'container'
Devote sufficient and ample time to training so that you master the powerful new tool now at your disposal
