Content Management Systems

Most organizations today either have a website or are in the process of developing one. As websites vary in size and complexity, keeping track of content often poses unique challenges. Plus, if a site needs frequent updating or only one person knows how to create, alter, and upload pages, inefficiency problems may arise. A content management system (CMS) is a sophisticated tool that can be used to make the entire process of web publishing much easier and possibly a more cost-effective solution worth considering.

A CMS is used for creating, modifying, and removing HTML content on a website. Content includes items such as images, documents, sound bites, and video clips. The software associated with a CMS provides users who may have limited knowledge or experience working in programming and markup languages with the tools to manage content with relative ease and little training.

A CMS typically requires an experienced coder to set up and add features, but is primarily a website maintenance tool for non-technical administrators. Web developers can concentrate on the site structure, navigation, and overall aesthetics without worrying about creating and maintaining content. The system administrator can then focus on the copy which will be plugged into the content database and displayed on a web page.

Additionally, a CMS can help manage workflow and quality control by allowing certain permissions to be set for various authors, editors, and publishers of content. For instance, several authors may be able to upload content. When new content is uploaded an email can be generated to an editor, who reviews and approves the material, and ultimately publishes the information to the website with a simple click of a button.

Golden Technologies can install a CMS for your website as well as create the initial templates of the web pages to be used with a CMS. We will provide training and documentation for using the CMS. Contact us today, to learn how a content management system may benefit your website.
