Con­tent Man­age­ment Sys­tems — CMS

Many web­sites are now pow­ered by so called ‘con­tent man­age­ment sys­tems’ (CMS) you might also see these ref­ered to as dynamic web sites. In sim­ple terms, a dynamic web­site has a sys­tem built into it that allows you, the web­site owner, to eas­ily add or change the con­tent (words, pic­tures, videos etc) on your website.

Before CMS soluions became wide­spread, most web­sites were built as ‘sta­tic’ sites mean­ing that the owner had no easy route to chang­ing the copy or con­tent. Each change would have involved an expen­sive use of the web design­ers time to make the changes on your behalf. Con­tent Man­age­ment Sys­tems mean that it’s easy for the small busi­ness owner to update their own site, keep­ing con­tact details, open­ing times and the like up to date.

Move from a Sta­tic Site to a CMS Pow­ered Website

If your site is cur­rently a sta­tic one i.e. you can’t change the con­tent, the good news is that in many instances we can take your exisit­ing site and inte­grate a Con­tent Man­age­ment Sys­tem into it. This keeps the costs down for you. Of course of you want to look at refresh­ing your site at the same time, we’ll be happy to help with that.

Why Bother Mov­ing to a Dynamic CMS dri­ven Website?

For some appli­ca­tions an unchang­ing web­site is fine, but most busi­nesses will find things they want to change. Whether it’s updat­ing a pic­ture, list­ing new ser­vices, chang­ing open hours or adding news, you’ll find that being able to con­trol the con­tent within your own busi­ness is invaluable.

Your cus­tomers expect to be able to get the lat­est infor­ma­tion form your web­site, if they can’t they might look elsewhere.

You can choose from a vari­ety of CMS solu­tions that we can imple­ment with you and we’ll be happy to explain the ben­e­fits and fea­tures of each type.
