Content management systems (CMS)
Content management
systems enable a client to edit the live content of their website. As
with all projects, we determine the project brief via consultation
and deliver the requirements via a secure - user friendly and
interactive interface. The content management interface is often a
multi faceted interface covers many areas of the website update
process including: Image upload and preparation, importing of files
such as rich text or csv file, creation of new web pages, folder
management, web page update tools such as text and formatting
editors, link management, search engine optimisation and page layout.
Most content management systems use a based template system. We prepare a wealthy pool of templates, each template satisfying a design requirement, and when the client initiates page creation a template can be chosen according to the type of page required. Templates contain pre defined editable regions, and these regions will transpose onto the new page enabling the client to add rich formatted content to the pages. We supply content management systems which employ a plug in architecture, allowing bespoke specifications to be moulded from a pool of existing elements and delivered into a one-off focused package. There are many plug-in combinations available, such as newsletters, user management tools, visitors registration management, automated marketing lists, e-commerce and web-shops, voting systems, database integration, scheduling, state of the art marketing statistics and other such useful tools. The design of your project is not affected in any way by the requirements of your cms brief, and we can encode our cms system into any existing or new design. Our content management systems are designed to be transparent from a visitor's point of view. We provide ongoing consultancy and management to our cms clients. We provide support at any level, but typical support areas are template management and adding new templates, updating and refreshing the design, technical support, tutorials, search engine optimisation and marketing, bug fixing and software version updates, video editing and output, graphic design and cms consultancy. We also offer advice and guidance, planned or unplanned plug-in upgrades catering for expansion of requirements, enhanced and escalated web hosting facilities, domain, email and dns management, volume-content addition and data entry services. |
