How do I choose the right Freehold CMS package?

Start with the job the website must do, then choose the smallest package that completes that job without missing dependencies.

Updated October 1, 2026

Start with the result

Do not start by counting features. Write down what the website needs to accomplish: publish pages, collect forms, manage customer accounts, run a community, sell products or license software.

Then compare the package

  1. Read the product purpose.
  2. Check the included modules and dependencies.
  3. Review hosting or provider requirements.
  4. Check the one-time price and any outside service charges.
  5. Choose the smallest package that completes the actual job.

Compare current pricing and bundles.
