More and more companies are re-thinking their websites. They want a site that's easy to self manage and offer fresh, updated content. For the majority of those clients, we recommend an open source content management system or CMS.

Why consider a CMS?

Think of your website as a publication, and then decide what kind of publication — functionally — you want it to be. Is your website a like a book, a magazine or a daily newspaper? Or, is it just a direct-mail brochure that gets scanned quickly and then goes right in the Internet trash? How can your website stay a fresh & relevant publication? With our new media oriented content management systems, it’s not as hard as you might think.

How does a CMS work?

A CMS is basically software, implemented as a Web application (or website), for creating and managing your site's content. It allows non-technical staff to log in from any computer, any browser and make changes to the website in minutes. In other words, once your CMS website is set up and the framework is in place, it is primarily a Web-site maintenance tool for you and your approved content creators to publish web pages. You could, for example, simply copy and paste content from MS Word™ docs and such. Many of our clients update their sites every day, much like a blog.

What does a CMS site look like?

Our CMS websites are be built to achieve many design and creative styles. Our recent site for KTRS.com even changes the background based on time of day! Yet one of the great things about building around a CMS platform, is it maintains a consistent format definition for publishing your articles (even from many different authors).
