Web Design for Small Businesses - Content Management Systems

Creating a site in a content management system allows you to make ongoing site updates easily. In addition, designing and developing for a content management system allows us to build a scalable website that easily grows over time. Your website will have the built-in capability to grow when your company grows.

The Content Management Systems we use are open source and have a vast user base. Developers are constantly adding new extensions, modules and plugins to offer more features. Due to the fact that a large developer community is supporting the open source CMS scene, you won't have to worry about your CMS becoming obsolete. These are the three Content Managment Systems that we use most often.

Wordpress

In their own words, "WordPress is a state-of-the-art publishing platform with a focus on aesthetics, web standards, and usability. WordPress is an Open Source project, which means there are hundreds of people all over the world working on it." WordPress is flexible enough to be used for your personal blog or for a large corporate website.

Blogger

Blogger is a great, low-cost way to get your site online. Blogger is a blog service of Google. Blogger is basically a CMS. What's really neat about blogger is how you can use it as a website.

 

Joomla

More and more businesses are managing their own web content (and thus manage their ongoing website maintenance costs) by using open-source Web CMS tools like Joomla! With an Internet connection and a browser you can make your own text and image updates no matter where you are. Our website is running on the Joomla platform and we love it!
