SAVE TIME…SAVE MONEY…IMPROVE RESULTS

The advantages of building a website using a Content Management System (CMS) are numerous. First off, you save money in the long run by not having to enlist us to make content changes to your website. You can add pages, enable features like blogs and subscription forms and integrate the site seamlessly with the various social media to extend your sites reach.

Keeping your website updated is important. It irritates visitors when they find out that information on a website is wrong or out of date, usually resulting in those customers going elsewhere. It’s hard enough just getting visitors to your site…no point in ticking them off when they get there.
The most effective way to keep your content fresh is through the use of a Content Management System. A CMS is software that is deployed on a web server that provides a framework of templates that your website is built on. Content Management Systems have administrative portals that allow the owner of a website to make vast content changes from either a web interface or installed software on their local computer, using tools that are very similar to word processing programs.

We use some of the most reliable content management platforms and software available. Drupal, WordPress, Joomla and Adobe Contribute are used by some of the biggest websites on the internet…WordPress alone accounts for some 13% of the one million largest sites online.  This site was built on the WordPress CMS using a standard theme.  Let us know what your needs are and we will recommend the best platform for your site.

WordPress is flexible and reasonably robust so it works great for most small and medium sized operations although it is also used on many very large sites as well. Drupal is a full blown CMS that is suitable for very large organizations or ones that need to maintain and share a great deal of data.  Joomla is somewhere in between.  Adobe Contribute is great software that allows for the editing of XHTML/CSS sites.
