Content Management Systems
Self Website Management By Non-Technical Staff
Content Management Systems allow your non-technical staff to make changes to web content subject to specified rules of access and limited editing for each user. We suggest Adobe Contribute to most of our clients, but WordPress, and Drupal are other options. Learn about the benefits of each below.
- Adobe Contribute
- WordPress
- Drupal
Adobe Contribute
Adobe Contribute is a CMS that, unlike many others, requires no database. This means that the website is coded in plain HTML and CSS which makes it easier for you to have maintenance done to the site by anyone that has a good knowledge of website coding. It integrates well with Adobe Dreamweaver, one of the top professional website development tools, and used by AbiTeq Marketing.
Adobe Contribute has excellent user management settings. For instance if you have several people editing your website, we can specify exactly which pages they can edit, and if they require someone's approval before their edits goes live. Sections of the website such as navigation and footers can be "locked out" so that people editing the text can't accidentally break the layout or menu system.
Very little training is required to get website editors up to speed on making changes to your website. We offer training which can often be done via phone in less than an hour.
WordPress
WordPress is the largest self-hosted blogging tool and content management system (CMS) in the world. It's used on millions of sites worldwide, and WordPress served pages are seen by over 40 million people every day, and that does not include privately hosted WordPress sites like the ones we build.
WordPress is used and trusted by websites that get thousands of visits per day like the Wall Street Journal Magazine and Jeffrey Zeldman's (a web design and usability expert) website zeldman.com
WordPress version updates are released about three times per year. Each new version builds on the speed and security of previous versions. We keep all of our hosted WordPress installations up to date each time there's an updated WordPress release.
Drupal
Drupal is an open source CMS with a large user base including Fast Company, Miami.com, and many websites at the University of Arizona.
These websites use Drupal because many of them believe, like us, that it's the best full featured content management system available. Many types of websites can be built using Drupal including websites that manage members, subscription based websites, and e-commerce shopping sites. Through the use of add-on modules Drupal can be configured to handle almost any sort of website task.
If your website development project requires a complete and robust CMS, Drupal will probably be a good choice. We can access your needs and help determine the best approach to take for your unique project.
