What's a CMS?
Content Management Systems (which the industry shortens to CMS) are becoming more popular as people have truly embraced the internet and wish to have administrative control over the content of their website.
CMS means that you can manage the content of your site through an easy to use online system.
CMS are more than standard promotional websites in that they are more dynamic - changing with your business on a regular basis. We can create websites with fully integrated CMS for managing the content of your pages as well as News Feeds, Blogs, Calendars or Forums.

The CMS Website Design Process:
Designing websites with a content management system involves the same 7 hours of webdesign we require for our standard websites, plus a few hours of integration and training time to get you up and running as quickly and easily as possible.
Our hosted easy-to-use CMS (Content Management System) is designed to meet your specific business needs - allowing you to focus on achieving your goals - not mastering the technology that goes on behind it. In fact, once your website is complete, in as little as two hours you will be updating the content of your website with ease - all by yourself!
During the creation of your website you are involved in every step of the development, fully empowered to make creative choices which produce excellent results. View our Portfolio for samples of our work.
Reasons for having a CMS website:
There are many reasons for having a Content Management System attached to your website including:
- updating your website's content on any page of your site
- you intend to add a range of articles or media
- displaying items in catalogues (courses, data, products without online shopping)
- photo galleries (for photographers)
- portfolios (for artists)
- blogging
- searchable data from custom information
- for-sale listings
