Content Management System

What is a Content Management System (CMS)?

A Content Management System or CMS is essentially a program which allows non-technical people the ability to update and maintain a website.

Which Content Management System is for me?

Choosing the best Content Management System for your website is not difficult. If you're running a blog or something similar which requires a simple interface, a CMS like Wordpress would be recommended. If your website is more complicated and features e-commerce or something similar, then Joomla or Drupal would be recommended. Contact us for advice on what CMS is best suited for your website.

What are the advantages of having a Content Management System?

The main purpose of a CMS is to save you time and money when updating content - the most important time saving feature offered by a CMS is a visual text editor. With this visual text editor it's possible to edit your website in an easy way similar to using a word processor (Microsoft Word). It saves you money because you don't need to call a web developer every time you want something simple changed.

The CMS "Panel" is accessible from any device with an internet connection. It is therefore possible to update your website from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.

A CMS will attract visitors because it can be constantly updated (nothing worse than going to a website that has not been changed in over 5 years!) and pages generated by the CMS are automatically SEO (Search Engine Optimisation) friendly, making it easy for your site to be found by search engines.
