Naturaily announced the release of Modern CMS 2026: Trends, Selection & ROI, a practical guide built for teams modernizing their CMS while protecting peed, Core Web Vitals, and governance.
The report is designed for organizations that are tired of trading off marketing agility for engineering time, or sacrificing performance and control just to ship new pages and campaigns. It brings marketing, engineering, product, and security stakeholders into the same decision framework, so CMS selection and migration become a repeatable process with measurable outcomes, not a debate driven by preferences.
The report points to common drivers behind CMS change. 87.5% of organizations cite outdated technology and uneven UX as the trigger for modernization – symptoms that often show up as slow releases, fragile templates, inconsistent brand experiences, and poor performance under real traffic. It also highlights why teams prioritize modern delivery now: 62.5% need multilingual and multichannel content at scale, reflecting the reality that websites, apps, landing pages, and commerce experiences increasingly share content across markets and formats. Meanwhile, 50% report developer dependency as a major bottleneck, when routine edits, layout changes, localization, and experimentation require tickets, handoffs, and deployment cycles that slow down growth.
Naturaily’s report compiles outcomes from modern replatforming efforts, showing that modernization can translate directly into business impact when executed with a performance-first approach. Examples highlighted include 31% faster mobile LCP, 48% average monthly traffic growth, a 117% performance score increase on a headless storefront, and +22% AOV attributed to UX and merchandising improvements. Rather than treating these as isolated wins, the report connects the dots between architecture decisions, content workflows, and operational practices, explaining how teams can ship faster without creating governance chaos, and how performance improvements can be sustained after launch.
“The fastest wins in 2026 come from two moves: let marketers ship without tickets, and treat performance as a product feature. Do that, and your CMS stops being a cost center and starts compounding ROI,” said Marcin Sulikowski, Co-CEO at Naturaily.
What’s inside goes beyond trends: a decision tree to quickly narrow down the right CMS direction, a structured vendor demo script that helps teams compare platforms consistently (including real workflow checks like localization, preview/scheduling, experimentation, and controls such as SSO/audit/export), and an ROI/TCO model to estimate payback with a simple formula. The report also includes industry playbooks, helping teams map requirements and risks across common scenarios like fintech, B2B SaaS, e-commerce, healthcare, recruitment, and more.
