Content Management Systems (CMS)

A CMS allows the content manager or author of the website, who may have no knowledge of computer programming, to create, modify, remove, and organize the information, content and pictures on their website.

Each CMS System includes:

• A web based implementation, which can be accessed by any Internet connected computer in the world.
• Password protected, permission, and role based access  where you decide which users can access certain areas of your site and what they can do (read, write, or publish) once they get there.
• User-friendly forms, optimized for speed and convenience.
• Practical error checking of form entries.
• Data storage solutions that are cost-effective and scaled to your particular needs.
• An attractive design with intuitive navigation.
• Training in the use of your system.

CMS is commonly associated with news sites, online stores (see below), online show rooms, blogging systems, and discussion forums.  It is also used for event calendars, image galleries, slide shows, guests books, message boards, and schedules - to name a few.
