Content Management Systems
At a very basic level a content management system allows non-technical people to easily change the content of their site.
- “Login” to your web site
- Go to the page your want to update and click “edit”
- Update your content and save your changes
Our development team is capable of working with a variety of technologies but our preferred tool of choice is called Drupal.
Why is Drupal a good choice? Here are just some of the features:
- Easy to use – the CMS is meant to work like Microsoft Word. The tool is easy to learn and requires minimal training.
- Feature rich – Drupal comes with a number of prebuilt features including Blogs, e-commerce, XML integration, document management system and advanced work flows.
- Free – Drupal itself is completely free to use. There are no licensing fees.
- Scalable – it’s easy to extend and add new features.
- Customizable – the tool can be customized to meet any requirements. New functionality can be added on to accommodate very specific requests.
- Workflow management – you can have editors submit their work for approval before content goes live.
- Publication Management – this allows you to organize your content with metadata and formatting.
- Powerful social networking tool – Drupal is recognized as one of the industry leading tools when it comes to social networking sites.
