Web Content Management Systems give you and your staff control over your website to make quick and efficient web site updates, changes and edits without requiring knowledge of web design or web programming.

Who benefits from web content management systems?
You and your staff do… In the early days of the Internet, updating your web site required knowledge of web design, or paying a web designer an hourly rate to implement changes; even if you were able to do it yourself, the process was manual and labor-intensive.

We’ve come a long way – today, you and your staff can seamlessly manage your website’s content and information flow including, but not limited to;

• Easily creating, editing and publishing your web page text to your website with the click of a mouse
• Inserting hyperlinks, tables and forms to your website
• Simply uploading and placing your images, documents and files to your website including PDF, Word, Excel, Power Point and more…

What criteria does a good content management system have?
Depending on your business and individual needs, you have 3 options;

• Free web content management systems – open source
• Commercial web content management systems – also known as a wysiwyg or ‘what you see is what you get’, usually based on a licensing fee
• A customized web content management system designed for your business

There are hundreds – if not thousands – of free and commercial web content management systems on the market, too many to mention. They are pre-packaged and come with a multitude of features you may or may not need. In most cases, the average business will use less than 10 percent of these pre-packaged content management system ‘bells and whistles’.

Which web content management system is best for YOU?
The best web content management system for you and your website is the one that meets your organizational and web management needs. You may only need a few capabilities that will save you and your staff time and money. In that case, a customized web content management system may be the way to go. Why pay for ‘bells & whistles’ you’ll never use; or use a free web content management system that doesn’t have the exact features you need?
