A content management system is just that, a system to manage the content of your site. From having the ability to add a small news post or to uploading and sharing videos, articles, images or work documents a content management solution opens the online side of your business up to many possibilities.

"The common scenario"

Your current web site, or intranet may have grown steadily over time, and while it has become very useful, it is far from perfect and is no longer performing as well as you'd like it to.   Much of the web sites content is out-of-date or inaccurate, it's hard to find articles/pages, updating the site is complex, and the sites interface is beginning to look dated.

The scenario gets worse as you attempt to make any amendments to the site, having to rely on a web designer or agency that has to make the changes for you, and always at a cost.

Thankfully, these problems are what a content management system is specifically designed to solve.

"What are the benefits of a CMS solution for my web site?"

A standard web site is pretty much a static page containing content that your web designer has placed onto the page for you. In most cases you wont be able to change anything without first contacting them.  A CMS (Content Management System) solution allows YOU as the web site owner to make the changes that you want, when you want to and with as little fuss as possible.

The main benefits are:

• more cost effective over the long run (reduced maintenance costs)
• only you or your authorised employees have access
• does not require you or your employees to have knowledge of web design or programming languages
• greater site flexibility
• ability to add your own business documents, images, articles and videos.
• greater capacity for your web sites growth
• better security
• better consistency in the pages of your web site
• ability to provide support online support to your clients and customers
• can help to increase sales by utilising constantly changing product or service news

"What we do"

We can create and design you a custom CMS solution or can set-up an off the shelf content management solution such as Joomla and mediawiki a forum based style solution such as phpBB or a more blog like CMS solution such as Drupal or Wordpress.  We can then create you a unique interface design using your company colours and logos to be snapped into your CMS application.

If a more specialised solution is required we can create you a bespoke CMS solution using any of the current web programming languages such as PHP, ASP, .NET or ColdFusion and link this to either a Microsoft Access database (not recommended for larger sites), a Microsoft SQL server database, a MySQL database or an Oracle database.  Your CMS site will be constructed so it allows you to change only the parts you need to. The rest of the site such as your interface or main navigation will remain intact.
