How Will it Help?

A content management system (CMS) makes it possible for you to quickly and easily add new content or modify the existing content of your website.

The software does the low level work for you, so even a relatively non-technical contributor can modify sections of your site.

Web Application

  • A CMS is a Web Application. What this means is that it runs right in your web browser, and is compatible with a number of different browsers. You can edit your site anywhere you have internet access.
  • Editing interfaces that were designed to be used by non-technical authors. No programming or HTML knowledge is needed to add and edit content.

Templated Content

  • Websites are based on templates and designs that you approve. When creating content, you’ll use elements that are all designed to fit the look and feel of your website, with no extra work on your part.
  • Content is automatically styled to fit with your website. When you add text there is no need to pick colors, sizes, and fonts - all of that work is done for you, so when you add text in the admin, it looks great on the front end.

Content Automation

  • Many sections of a website are referenced in multiple places. Menus and lists will often update automatically when you add new content, so you don’t have to change every page in your site every time you add a new page.
  • Content can be removed from the display of the website without deleting it. You can store this content for later use, allowing you to make content in advance or to remove content temporarily from your site.

Expandable Functionality

  • Extensions are available to support e-commerce, Blogging, Newsletters, and more.
  • Customizable to suit your needs. By customizing the CMS, you can allow it to work better with your business practices and preferences.
