The first is WooRank, which will grade the SEO value of your website out of 100 and allow that webmaster to know what areas of SEO need to be improved.
Pear Analytics is similar to WooRank, but will give suggestions on what areas of a websites SEO need to be fixed.

CMS tools
Here are a couple of CMS tools, that we believe are helpful for webmasters to deliver CMS to their clients:
Wordpress is the ultimate CMS system avaliable. It has two platforms for both the beginner and the expert. wordpress.com will allow anyone to create a free website, however the limitations are that the user will be limited to a template. Wordpress.org is the best CMS system around as developers can build a bespoke website that includes CMS.
Pagelime is a remote content management system. The onscreen navigation portal allows clients to see and understand the changes they are making to their website much easier. This system is much benefical for websites with lots of pages!
CushyCMS was one of the leading remote content management systems that allows you to add CMS to any bespoke HTML website. Simply add a small piece of code to each Div tag that you want to make editable.
Surreal CMS is very similar to CushyCMS.
Joomla is the main competitor to Wordpress. This system uses templates.
