Content Management Systems Huddersfield, CMS, Accessible Content, Cost-Effective

A Content Management System (CMS) provides you with an easy and cost-effective way to update, maintain and modify your web site whenever you want.

Traditionally, once a web site was produced you would to go back to the designer for any modifications. With a CMS this process is removed, allowing you to update the content of your web site.

Who needs a CMS?

Nearly every web site changes at some point in it’s lifespan but there are some web sites that benefit from a Content Management System more than others.

Consider a CMS if any of the following statements are true

My web site is, or should be, regularly updated
My web site has a lot of pages
My web site has a large product catalogue
My web site incorporates a news and/or articles section
My web site is costing me a lot to keep up to date
I want my users to be able to leave their details
I want to be in control of my own web site

How our CMS works

When we produce a web site we develop a database that sits behind the web site and holds all of the content, images and information that are displayed when you view a page on the web site.

A central database allows for changes to be made without using web design software or manually editing web site files.

In its simplest form, our Content Management System is a private area on your web site that you can access from any computer on the Internet and make changes to the content without any technical knowledge.

Each process is completed via a series of simple steps with instructions visible all the times and when you make a change everything is updated instantly on your web site.

Our CMS allows you to have full control over the appearance and content of your web site.

Keeping your web site up to date

One of the most important aspects of web site design and development is keeping your web site up to date. It’s all too easy to produce a web site and leave it once it is finished.

Two very important reasons for keeping a web site up to date

Users are encouraged to re-visit a web site that is regularly updated with fresh content
Search engines will visit a web site more frequently that is kept up to date

One of the most common ways of keeping a web site up to date is by creating a news or articles page. Our Content Management System is ideal for this.

Image and file management

One of the most useful aspects of our Content Management System is the image and file manager. This section of our CMS allows you to upload images and other types of files, such as PDF’s and Word Documents, which can be used throughout your web site.

There is no need to worry about re-sizing images before you upload them, this is done automatically. Once you have uploaded an image you can make it larger or smaller and place it exactly where you would like it to appear on your page.

Allow users to submit their information

Many businesses and web site owners make the mistake of making it hard for users to get in contact with them or leave their details through their site.

We always ensure that contacting the business behind the web site is very easy. Integrating our Content Management System allows web site users to submit their details in various different ways.

How we collect user details

Contact forms
Newsletter subscription options
Call back request
Restricted areas that can only be accessed after submitting details
Send this page to a friend buttons

Every time that a user submits their information, through one of the above methods, their details are stored in our CMS where they can be accessed at any time.

Why you should consider a CMS

It may sounds cliché, but the most important feature of a Content Management System is the freedom and control you have over your own web site. Changes can be made without having to consult and pay a designer or developer.
