In the early days of the internet (and that really wasn’t all that long ago!) websites were unwieldy beasts, with each page handcrafted. This system worked perfectly well, but made large sites a headache to manage and difficult to update.
Gradually, web technologies were developed to help webmasters to manage their pages, but it wasn’t until the birth of the Content Management System (CMS) that control over complex websites was within reach of the average internet user. Now, anyone can manage a web site without any knowledge of design or html (the code and language of the internet).
NECSES Webdesign creates websites built around Content Management Systems, giving you ultimate control over your web page’s content. But there are many other benefits of using a CMS besides content management.
The leading content management systems, Wordpress, Drupal and Joomla are all open-source technologies making a CMS a very cost effective way of producing a website. The online communities supporting these systems are also very large, contributing new features to the core CMS, keeping them at the cutting edge of web technologies. A CMS will enable you to add dynamic features such as e-commerce, instant news posts, message systems, user comments, forums, support channels, browsable directories of content, user blogs, image galleries, chat rooms, search facilities… and this is just the tip of the iceberg. Indeed, anything that is currently possible on the web is possible with a CMS.
Websites built using a CMS can add new features, add new pages and upgrade to new web technologies as they become available. Your web site can grow, adapt or change with your business as the need arises.
If all of this control seems a little daunting, have no fear. NECSES Webdesign offers full training on your Content Management System and is there for you in case you need help. Full control over every aspect of your website is just a click away.
