in

Utilizing a Content Management System (CMS) is the premium way to manage the design and features of your website.  This software package is widely used across the internet to create websites that are easy to design and change at your whim.  CMS aims to provide a customizable website template that can be changed and replaced easily.

CMS is very simple to use, here is a basic explaination:

  • Content is added and saved through the user interface
  • The web page is generated and published by the CMS
  • The web page URL gets listed in the website navigation menus
  • All index pages and navigation menus get updated automatically

Utilizing a Content Management System is not only a great way to efficiently create and manage a website, it also has many other benefits:

Keep Content Fresh

The most important benefit that CMS provides its users is the ability to quickly and easily provide up-to-date content for a website’s viewers.  Content is published in real-time, allowing a CMS user to change their site every few days if need be, giving the viewers something new to look forward to, and keeping the website fresh for repeat viewers.

Keep Website Maintenance Costs Low

With CMS software, the maintenance cost of your website is next to nothing.  Without the CMS, a website owner would need to pay a developer to update their content.  Making a website either extremely expensive to keep up to date, or making a website out of date to save cost.  The ease and flexibility of CMS makes the developer unnecessary for minor changes to the site.

Allow Multiple Users

Content Management Systems allow many different users access and change the information that will appear on the website.  This is useful in many different business situations, and allows different branches of a company to inform their viewers of developments independently of the entire company.
