Would you like to be able to update your website yourself at your own time without having to hire a web developer?
If you find yourself answering yes to the above question, we highly recommend Content Management System (CMS) to be attached to either your current website or to be included in the development of your new website.
Content Management System (CMS)
What is a Content Management System (CMS) ?
A Content Management System (CMS) is a tool used to update the content on a website without the need to engage a web developer hence giving you full control over your website for ongoing self maintenance, thereby reducing ongoing maintenance support costs. You're able to add and delete content, pages, menus, images, feedback forms and numerous other elements. A well-designed CMS is so easy to use that no specific technical ICT skill is required. The CMS can be used anywhere, anytime as long as there is an Internet connection. You can even update your site from the other side of the world!
What are the options ?
If you have an existing website, we can have a look at how it has been set up and provide advice with regards to how to attach a Content Management System (CMS) to it.
If you do not have a website or would like to have developed a new and improved website, we can offer various options:
- Free "off-the-shelf" open source CMS'es are available that can be "re-skinned" to suit your corporate identity.
- A custom-made CMS where you can choose which areas of the website should be updateable.
Free open-source CMS'es may impose restrictions to creative design (look and feel) and limit use of certain functionalities. They may also be overly complex as they have been built to suit a huge variety of website types. However, the complexity can be dealt with by having proper training and support available. Although the products themselves offer none or limited support, we can offer such training and support for you, if required.
With custom-made CMS we can choose exactly how much of the content will need to be updated. If you are happy with the design of your website and only would like certain areas to be updated, the CMS can be build the CMS to be clean and simple and easy to use.
Already have a Content Management System (CMS) ?
Do you already have a CMS? Has your CMS been Search Engine Optimised? Many commercial and open source CMS'es can be SEO'ed by installing SEO components. These components will re-create your website's structure in a way that makes it easier for the the search engines to figure out what your site is all about. If the search engines can't figure out your site, they can't categorise it and rank it. If they can't rank it, it won't show up on the search engine results pages when people search for terms related to your website. If you would like to know more about this, contact us.
