CMS Explained
A CMS is a sophisticated system that controls the generation, storage, and publishing of information, usually onto the world wide web (the Internet). An example of a CMS with which you will probably be familiar is the BBC News Website.
A CMS uses a database to store content and to control how (and when) it is published. A big advantage of most CMS is that you can change your own website just through your normal web browser, with only a minimal amount of training. Not only that, but many people in your organisation can potentially become producers and publishers of content onto your website, if you so wish.
CMS sites usually use a template to control how the site looks, so you can easily change the appearance of the site without having to redo all the pages. You can give your site a makeover for a relatively low cost.
Content Management Systems have been in use for many years. However, it is only recently that it has been possible to offer such sophisticated capabilities to small businesses in a cost-effective manner.
What does it mean for Malvern Web Solutions customers?
In simple terms, it means you can change your own website, just through logging in and using something akin to Windows Wordpad or Mac TextEdit. A bit like updating a Facebook page, or formatting an email. We can design a custom template for you, or use an off-the-shelf design, and we can always tweak your site's appearance (or change it completely) at a later date.
