A big frustration many organizations have is managing content for their websites. Often Word Docs are passed along a chain of 3 to 4 people before the content actually gets posted to the website and by the time the content goes live it may already need to be revised.
“Why can’t we just update our site whenever we want” seems to be the million dollar question. We’ll I’m happy to announce that there is a solution for this question. Enter the age of Content Management Systems (CMS).
CMS come in many different sizes, shapes and colors but in the end they all serve to help organizations directly edit the content on their websites without having to get a tech person (IT) involved.
Some of the most popular CMS softwares are:
* Xoops – www.xoops.org
* Drupal – www.drupal.org
* Light-N-Easy – www.lightneasy.org
* Adobe Contribute – www.adobe.com
No matter which CMS solution you choose you will need the help of a competent web design firm to install/configure the software and train your staff on how to use it. Once the software is installed and running your organization can benefit from the increased speed and efficiency of managing it’s website content without calling IT.
Rumor has it that Drupal accounts for 1% of the websites that are out there – and for good reason, the community and support is just amazing, so many devolopers and users willing to help you when your in trouble or want to learn something..
