WHAT IS A CONTENT MANAGEMENT SYSTEM (CMS)?
A Content Management System (CMS) is a web-based program or application that allows you to create, edit and manage your website content.
WHAT IS IT REALLY?
It allows web people to get out of the way and for content creators to contribute to their sites
It free up content people up to create and disseminate great content and web people to focus on developing their sites not positing updates while ensuring the standards
A web designer can create a custom design for you and then integrate it as a “theme” or “template” for the CMS being used
HOW CAN A CMS HELP?
With a Content Management System, you as a client can make updates to your own website without the need to call a “web guy”
Usually we get clients who ask for a CMS because they have finally become tired of their web guy taking way too long to make simple text changes to their website
With the right CMS and the proper instruction from your web developer, your CMS should be very simple to use and make updates to content yourself
Are you planning on making updates more than once a month?
Do you ever have time sensitive updates that require immediate publishing?
Are you comfortable paying more upfront but saving money on hourly updates over time?
