About CMSWhat is a Content Management System (CMS) and how can I use it? Traditionally, most small websites were built using static pages whose code was difficult to edit unless you were trained in specialist software. This often meant that keeping a site up to date was costly, and often a few steps behind the business, frequently resulting in sites not being updated at all. To solve this design and maintenance problem, Content Management Systems (CMS) were developed. A CMS uses a database to store, retrieve, and edit the content of your website. Most of the content that makes up your site is stored in this database, and pages are uniquely generated each time a browser makes a request for content from the database. The CMS database allows for a wide variety of features to be easily integrated into the website, depending on the owners requirements and the nature of the site. Simple & user Friendly CMS Back Office The real power of CMS can be experienced once the structure and basic design of the site are in place. The owner of the site can easily edit content, add components, and manage a variety of features all through a user friendly interface.

Some example areas of the website that can be changed through the CMS are... Articles |
