Content Management Systems

One part of your custom web design that might easily be overlooked is a content management system (CMS). After your web site has been completed and is ready for public view, what happens when you want to make changes to that site? Certainly, you can hire your web developer to make any and all changes to your site, but depending upon how often you update your web site's content, that option can get pretty expensive.

Another option for those looking to save money in the long run, or for those who like to have the ability to make immediate changes to their web site, the answer is a custom built content management system from Design Spike. Content management systems (CMS) are useful for those website sections that require regular updates. They consist of a password protected portion of your web site that contains web pages with which you can edit pages of your website. Instead of learning HTML or using a third-party editor such as Adobe Dreamweaver or Microsoft Front Page, updates may be made through your web browser. Our content management systems are powerful, yet easily understood so that no knowledge of HTML and programming is required.

After we determine what you would like to modify, the Content Management System will be custom-coded just for you. For example, if you would like to keep your employee's page current, you would open your browser, go to a webpage that is password protected, and select which item you would like to modify. Once the modification has been made, click "update", and the change appears to to the site. It's that fast.

Ultimately, a CMS allows you to update your website easily at any time and without hiring additional staff or having to outsource web maintenance.
