Designerweb - Content Management Systems

Managing your website and updating content shouldn't be difficult. Nobody wants to go through the process of contacting the webmaster every time they need a website update, forwarding the information, waiting for the changes to be typed, inserted and eventually uploaded. Most importantly, paying for this service each time becomes too costly for many smaller organisations.

 

A Content Management System empowers you to shape your own website without expensive and time-consuming site re-development and changes.

 

Save yourself a lot of time:

 

You want your website updated and you want it now. Business today is about precision and timeliness and a CMS allows you to edit and add to your website much quicker than by any other means. By comparison, adding a full news piece to your website via a Content Management System takes less than a minute, compared to the typical day or two process when relying on a third-party.

 

Motivate your staff to keep the website current:

Because content creators and employees are empowered to manipulate the website directly, they become responsible for their portion of content. This has the effect of motivating staff to become more involved in company operations and play an active role in helping shape the businesses' image.

 

You will be able to consistently give your users a positive perception and strengthen your brand:

Your website visitors have expectations. They expect up-to-date content. Delivering any less than this will project an image of carelessness towards your business. Implementing a complete CMS Strategy throughout your company will ensure that your content is current, while the WCMS makes sure that all the pages in your website maintain a consistent and professional look-and-feel.

 

Improve quality of content by use of an approval process:

Content quality is crucial; content should optimally go through an approval process before becoming available on the end consumer. This will ensure that the user’s perception of your company is not damaged because of a spelling or grammatical error. A Content Management System will help process your content through the correct channels before it is available to the public.

 

Workflow is an important aspect of any CMS. Workflow enables a user to add content to the website, although in a 'waiting approval' state, and does not display live on the site. An editor or someone in charge later reviews and edits the content and once happy, sets it to 'live' on the web site.

 

Can I honestly benefit from implementing a Content Management strategy for my business?

 

Financially, because the content creator is empowered to make changes to the website without the need for expensive technical staff, a WCMS system will reduce the total cost of maintaining the website. The investment in a Content Management Strategy does however take a lot of careful planning, but proper implementation of the strategy or solution will definitely pay off in the long run.

 

A well designed website, coupled with consistent up-to-date content will increase the likelihood of website users becoming sales leads, and if that is not enough, a WCMS system will save your business an immense amount of time as updates can be effective immediately.

 

Finally, and most likely the best advice for someone looking to implement a content management solution, is to work with a CMS provider that you trust and who knows the industry well. Many unreliable systems attempt to pass as total content management solutions and invariably end up costing the end user a ridiculous amount of time, money and effort - the exact opposite of what you are trying to achieve: saving time, making money and reducing effort.

The Automotive Content Management System

In an effort to simplify the updating of a website by novice users, Designerweb have developed a content management system. This system allows users with no web design or HTML experience to easily and simply modify contents of a website by using a web browser.

The Content Management System provides end users with an easy, quick, affordable, and visual (WYSIWYG - What You See Is What You Get) way to edit a pre-defined web page content area through your browser at anytime. If required you can also to edit the actual HTML code.

The system allows us to specify an area in any one of your web pages where you can make WYWISYG changes to the page online - without changing the design or HTML. This removes the possibility of you ever messing up the whole page!

Plus there's no complicated system to learn or code to write.
