Content Management

A Content Management System or a CMS: Allows someone with no development experience to update and maintain a website through use of a browser and internet connection. Its easy to use interface is sometimes referred to as: what you see is what you get or a WYSIWYG (wih-zee-wig) editor. Anyone who can write a document on a computer can use one! Its accesability and ease of use make it a fantastic choice for clients who want to make changes frequently without paying a fortune. WordPress, an open source CMS, has surely had the most impact on our clients and us.

A major benefit to using a CMS is the ability to install plug-ins. Plug-ins are extensions of the CMS that give an additional function to you site. Some examples of extensions and plug-ins are:

• Forms
• Polls
• Galleries
• Advertising
