In all our years of developing websites, and content management systems we have used many many off the shelf systems, we have also built are own from scratch but in the past year, we have settled on one, that we use for nearly all our standard CMS sites, and that solution is wordpress.

WordPress started as just a blogging systems, but has evolved to be used as full content management system and so much more through the thousands of plugins, widgets, and themes, WordPress is limited only by your imagination.

What is a Content Management System?

A content management system (also known as a CMS) is a website built so it is easy for normal non web designer type people to manage web content. It makes maintaining and updating a website simple and affordable.

Not so long ago keeping your website updated meant emailing over your polished and perfected writing to a programmer who would convert it into web page, The process was slow and painful for everyone involved. With the process going something like this:

You email the changes to the website over to your project manager.
Project manager emails changes over to the web developer
web developer hand codes your changes into the website
web developer uploads the changes to a test page for you too check
Project manager emails changes to you too check
You check the page and pass it too colleagues to check
You email back revisions, there is a paragraph that needs adding, or a full stop needs changing to a semi colon
project manager emails web developer……..

Anyway, you get the jist. It was a long drawn out process. But not anymore, you dont need a degree in web design to update a website. If you can successfully send an e-mail, you can update a web page. Of course we recommend using WordPress,which is technically a blog system but can easily be used as a CMS to run your websites.

A CMS is an enormous boost to the small business or organization that doesn’t have a massive budget.

It simplifies the process and puts the website back into the hands of the client allowing you to spend more time on what really matters.

A content management system (CMS) is software that makes it easy for nontechies

to organize and manage web content.

Thats big, because it makes maintaining and updating a website simple and

affordable.

Once upon a time updating a website meant passing off your polished and perfected

writing to a programmer who would convert it into a mishmash of

computer lingo, often unintentionally skewering some of the finer points of style

and layout (You wanted a new paragraph where?). The process was slow and

painful for everyone involved, not to mention expensive.

Nowadays, thanks to the advent of WYSIWYG editors (What You See Is What

You Get, like the Bold and Italic functions in Microsoft Word) and content management

systems, you dont need a degree in computer science to update a

website. If you can successfully send an e-mail, you can update a web page. Of

course CMSs can range from free, open source software to enormously expensive

custom-designed solutions. Of course we recommend using WordPress,

which is technically a blog system but can easily be used as a CMS to run

websites.
