What is Content Management System or CMS?

A web-based Content Management System greatly simplifies the production and submission of web-based content to a website.  The biggest advantage to business owners and individuals is that a CMS allows a non-technical user to create new content and post it directly to the site without knowing how to write code, such as HTML, CSS or XML.  Think about it...If you are currently paying a webmaster a monthly fee to make changes to your site, this could save you a lot of money!    That's one reason I try to advise small business owners to invest in the CMS based website and forgo the monthly web management fee.  

What Are The Benefits of CMS? 

• Content Rich
• Quick Setup
• Easily Customizable
• Modular
• User Managed / No Coding Required

Since a CMS gives you the ability to add content, your site will be more relevant to your intended audience.  Blogs are a great example of this.  Many sites are incorporating them to give their customers a reason to come back.  This can easily translate into increased sales.  Quick setup is also possible because the software generates the the pages you need, not a human.  As an experienced CMS installer, we can setup  a twenty page site in less than a day (not including customer provided content) - should you need it quickly.  Another great feature is the ability to add new functionality at any time.  Suppose you decide to add e-commerce to your site because it is generating high online traffic.  Since our CMS provided solution has an-commerce module, it is just a matter of installing it and adding your products to the catalog.  All of this is done with no coding whatsoever!

Is A CMS More Expensive?

NO!  Why?  Because there is no coding involved.  Because CMS provides so many benefits, it really is the best option for any size business or even for individuals.  That being said, the cost increases as the requirements for the site go up.  A one page, HTML website is will be less expensive to develop than a CMS with E-commerce site.  But that is an apples to oranges comparison.  The same HTML website with E-Commerce functionality will be more expensive to develop than the CMS site.  Makes sense, right?
