Content Management (CMS) Systems
With dynamic, database-driven websites & user administrative content management systems (CMS), also called the ‘backend’ for a site, any website owner can have complete control over their own website development—including content, marketing & management.
Developing sites with CMS systems is user-friendly, efficient & effective
User Friendly
- Login and add, update & delete pages, menus & media (e.g. images, videos, music).
- CMS systems are simple, efficient & user-friendly. “If you can use a word processor, send an email and upload attachments, then you can use a CMS [content management] system,” says SWD International’s founder & CEO, Joshua Soros.
- CMS systems allow internal updates so website owners have complete control over website administration and Internet development.
- Advanced coding techniques allow professional website developers to design & integrate various templates with a CMS system. By integrating these templates with CMS, not only can new pages be created by website owners without any coding, but these pages retain the structure of the site, providing a professional, effective & navigation-friendly website.
A note about cost: In the long-run CMS is less costly than traditional and static, or html, sites.
Implementation time
- With new systems & coding processes, it is possible for any competent web developing firm to integrate a solid CMS system in a matter of days, allowing a website owner complete internal control over website development with a minor amount of initial extra development time.
- While this initial extra development may add some initial cost, it reduces costs in the long run, since, as described above, a CMS system allows a website owner to update a site internally or with any external party (which costs less than paying a website developer’s hourly rate)

- these panels are similar to the page one would use to send an email online, or the update pages for sites like myspace, facebook & orkut
- Note: With html websites, clients must pay either an in-house web developer or an external firm to update their site, putting them at the mercy of web developers and their schedules. A CMS site can be updated by almost anyone and includes search engine optimization (SEO) fields that could previously be updated only with advanced coding skills, so this means that with a CMS system, once can choose whether to update a site personally, through an administrative assistant, a marketing agency, a full-service web development firm, or any external firm.
