Content Management Systems (CMS)

CMS stands for Content Management System. A content management system often contains a base set of features that allows users to login in to an administrative section of a website. This administrative section typically has a collection of web forms to add and manage web pages in the website.

Additional features, referred to as modules, can be installed to further the functionality of a content management system. These additional content management system features generally include contact forms, user management tools, calendar tools, ecommerce or e-commerce (online stores), news posting tools, as well as, blogs and user forums. The specific CMS features, or content management modules, available depend on the particular content management system used.

A good CMS website or content managed website will allow a lot of bang for the buck. This is the primary reason that content management systems are so prevalent.  It will also allow for an easy and efficient way to update and organize content for your website.

Contact one of our offices in Fort Myers, Florida or Ames, Iowa to find out how a CMS can greatly improve productivity and implement a whole new level of organization to your website content and website development workflow.

In deciding whether or not your site needs a CMS, there are a few factors you should consider.

• How many different people will be adding and updating content on your site?
  
• How often will updates be made?
  
• How computer literate are the people that will be making the updates?
  
• What is the complexity and size of your website?

Content Management System driven websites typically have frequent updates, a large base of website users users, multiple site administrators and the website, is often times, a primary instrument in the organizations daily business processes.

If a full content management system isn't what you are looking for, WSI also offers classic web design services and custom content management systems. Contact us to find out more about any of these web services or to discuss which website option will best meet your needs.

You might find that a content management system or content managed website isn't going to work for you or your current business process.
