Why do you need CMS?A Content Management System allows our clients to update their web sites with fresh content. A true CMS will be integrated with your web site and you will simply visit your web site and log-in in order to make changes. Without a CMS your website is termed 'static' and means you need to know HTML to change it.

If you already have your web hosting please check it's feature support.Like the name suggests you will be in charge of the "content" on your web site, not your web designer. For example, you can update just a news page or every page on your site; you will even be able to add new pages.

Will you need web design training?No, although you will need training in the use of the Content Management System.Different CMS solutions vary in their size and complexity.

CMS streamlines and simplifies the update process for you by allowing you to add new content to your site with familiar controls. Web Based CMS SystemsWe have a number of web-based solutions that have been a great success with many clients. After logging in through a secure password protected area you will be given access to your content pages. Here you will use a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) editor similar to what you may see in Microsoft Word. Updates are stored on your webserver's database and any changes are viewable immediately. |
