What Is a Content Management System?
A Content Management System (CMS) is a online tool or platform that allows you easily create, manage and publish the content pages for your website. Typically, you log into the backend administration panel of your website where you can easily add new content and make changes to your website’s look and feel. A CMS tool makes it easy to manage large or small websites without any technical knowledge of HTML.
We build websites on the three most popular, open-source CMS programs: Wordpress, Drupal and Joomla. For most of our clients we recommend Wordpress because it is the easiest to use, can be easily optimized for search engines and has the largest community of developers making website plug-ins that can extend it’s functionality.
How Can It Benefit Your Business?
These are some of the many benefits that a Content Management System offers for website management:
- Higher search engine rankings since the entire website has a similar structure that can easily be optimized for major search engines
- Improved site navigation for your visitors and seamless user experience across your entire website
- Easily have different authors write and modify regular blog posts and your important content
- Track page revisions so you can revert back to old content if you have made a mistake
- A backend user interface that makes writing content and inserting images into posts fast and easy
- Make small changes in seconds and reduce the cost of site maintenance
