Should it be just a place to read about your business and services and view samples? Perhaps you want them to be able to login and doing something or buy a product or service? Is it just a simple landing page that just wants to give a message and then either send the viewer onto somewhere else of collect details?
These are just a few things you might want to consider.
Also you need to think about your audience and how and where they will be viewing your website. If in the office it is most likely that they will be using a full screen PC or laptop to view your website. If out and about then they may be viewing your website via a mobile device to tablet. Maybe you will get people visiting your site at different times of the day with different devices. Mobile devices are being use more often these days and it is come place to have a website react and display of all devices. These are often called either reactive or responsive websites.

Using a CMS website you can change and edit just about any feature within the website. But this might be all a bit too much if all you want to do is edit or create posts on the site. Using different access levels you can open or lock-off certain features and areas on the site. These access levels can be assigned to individual users or groups.
Unfortunately CMS website are also vulnerable to attacks from hackers wanting to steal your data or use your website to send up spam emails.
