Content Management Systems (CMS)
Up-to-date and fresh web content is important for improved search engine rankings and for attracting new customers to your website. It also shows that your business is moving forward and not stagnating, so your website needs to be updated frequently!
There are several different sorts of website - it depends which type you choose as to how easy it is to update. eBrochure sites are like online brochures which give details of your products or services. These can be bespoke, individually designed sites or template-based. Bespoke sites can look better and are more completely configurable for search engine optimisation that template-based sites.
Text and pictures on bespoke sites can be updated relatively easily. More complex design features such as navigation buttons and navigation header bars may not however be so easy to update on bespoke sites. If you think you are going to need regular and frequent changes to navigation features, number of pages, header graphics, etc, it is best to choose a template-based site or a dynamic database site.
We can offer any of these types of website - you just have to decide how often you may need to update content, and who is going to do it - us or you.
We can offer web support contracts if you would like us to update the content of your website for you - this takes the worry out of keeping your website looking fresh and up to date.
If you prefer to update your website yourself, 'in-house', we can set up a content management system, database site, or shopping cart site for you so you can update all the content yourself. If you are going to do this 'in-house', your staff may need some training in how to use the Administrative Control Panel for the website - we can provide this through PeakEasy I.T. & Computer Training.
Do not underestimate the time it takes to maintain and update a website using a content management system - you need to make provision for someone in your company to have the time to do this. It can be a full-time job in itself, depending on the size and complexity of the website, and the number of products you are selling or providing details of online.
