Sometime at the end of last week we reached quite a milestone in our rollout of TerminalFour's Site Manager web CMS - 100,000 approved content items are now managed in the system.
We average around 3 content items per page, so our 100,000 content items are generating roughly 30,000 pages.
Growth of content in the system
We started rollout of the CMS at around the beginning of 2009 and the chart below shows the growth in the number of content items in the system since then.
There was good steady growth in the number of content items held in Site Manager for the first year of implementation, followed by a sharp increase in the growth rate from the start of 2010 when we added three web CMS migration assistants to our team.
Onwards and upwards?
We're still working on lots of migrations and new sites in the CMS so for the forseeable future this chart will keep trending quite steeply upwards. Eventually I expect the growth will slow, but I wouldn't be surprised if I'm posting about having reached 200,000 content items 18 months from now.

Let's get that champagne cracked open then!
