What is a Content Management System (CMS)?

A Content Management System is a tool that enables you to be in control of the content on your web site without needing to program anything or learn technical skills. A bit like using a word processor, it allows you to add sections and pages to your web site, update text and images on the pages, and focus on the messages you're communicating with your customers - you don't need to pay your web developers every time you need to make a little change - instead, you're in control!

Why do you need a Content Management System (CMS)?

If you own a web site, you should be in control. You need to operate your business and communicate with your customers in a way which is easy and instantaneous. You shouldn't have to worry about technical limitations. Therefore, you need to be able to edit your web site's content without continually having to involve a web developer.

SitePoint Solutions specialises in building web sites that web site owners and staff can easily update.

Our Content Management Systems (CMS) provide a simple interface through which you can control the content that appears on your site. Updating content is just a matter of clicking buttons and typing or pasting text. Your site is updated as soon as you submit those changes.

Your CMS might be as simple as a "News" page that displays your latest news bulletins or press releases. A more sophisticated CMS can allow you to manipulate page layout, upload and display images, and email your subscribers a newsletter. SitePoints' technical expertise gives us the ability to shape the system to your needs.

We also have an 'off-the-shelf' CMS product, Gazette, to meet the typical needs of most larger web sites.
