Content Management Systems

Why do you need a Content Management System?

A Content Management System is a software layer that allows users of varying skill sets to be able to manage the content of their new website without having to know the complexities of website development. What this means is you the customer can be in total control of what is on your website, and because your content can change so easily, visitors will keep coming back to your site to see what you’re writing about! Also adding new website content on a regular basis spells good news for your search engine ranking because the search engines love regularly updated content.

If your new website is going to change on a regular basis, or if you need to make amendments but do not know how to delve into the code of your website, you need a content management system (CMS) otherwise you’ll always be reliant on someone else doing the updates for you.

To demonstrate how a CMS seperates the content of your website from the design of the site, you can use the drop down menu on the left to switch between the available themes of this website - the content is the same, but the design is vastly different!

How will this benefit me?

A Content Management System allows you to instantly update your site content as and when you please by simply logging in through a secure web browser. CMS websites are the future of website design and offer significant benefits over ‘static’ websites that need to be updated by a designer.

Wherever you are, providing you have access to the internet, you can login to a secure area on your website, make the changes you want, click ‘update’. The result: website updated! The changes you can make are almost limitless and can be customised to your website and requirements:

• Amend or add new content to your web pages
• Replace or add new images and videos
• Update price lists and product ranges
• Post news and blogs
• Add new links
• Promote your latest special offers
