Content Management System (CMS)

Websites exist in a rapidly changing environments. For this reason, opting for a website content management system, or CMS, makes the process of creating, editing, and updating content quick and easy without any technical know-how.

Content Management Systems allow users to add new pages to a website with minimal effort. Your entire website is managed via your administration control panel where you can add new pages via an intuitive interface.

Traditionally you would need to hire a web designer to manage your site. Using a CMS eliminates this need.

7 Reasons why you should be using a CMS

1) Automatic Navigation Generation

Menu's will be created automatically when you add new pages/categories which will form the basis of your websites navigation. This eliminates the need to manually update your navigation each time you add a new section, saving you time, effort and preventing the risk of creating dead links.

2) Separate design and content.
The design of the site template is separate from the content. This allows you to change the design any time without affecting the content stored on the site. Site templates should be changeable from the admin panel by simply clicking on the new template of your choice.

3) HTML knowledge not required
A CMS site allows non-technical people to add content. They just need to login with a user name and password then use the web editor that's built into the CMS to add their content.

By easing technical hurdles in the publication of content, a CMS can reduce the need for training, while facilitating more people to publish. At the same time, it reduces the daily stream of calls to the IT department for changes to the website.

4) Create search engine friendly pages
A good CMS will allow for strong search engine optimisation (SEO). The CMS should allow custom title and meta tags for EACH individual page and the ability to create search engine friendly URLs?
    
5) Web maintenance cost will be reduced if you have a good content management system. It is also quicker and easier to make small changes yourself without waiting for a developer to make the change.

6) Saves you time.
A CMS reduces time-to-publish, allowing you to get content published faster. The most important time saving feature offered by a CMS is a visual text editor. With this visual text editor it's possible to write your post in a Word-like text editor.
    
7) Visitors should be able to interact with the CMS.
Giving your visitors the ability to comment on your content can make them more interested and more likely to return to your website. Also, the unique content by visitors is good for SEO!
