Content Management Systems
What the heck is a "CMS" and why should I use one?
Today a good content management system is a critical part of any developing a small business website. Content management systems such as Drupal, Wordpress, and Joomla have been a rapid rise in usage in the past few years. There is good reason for that too! It wasn't a very long time ago, that the only choice a business could make was an expensive commercial solution.
With the growth and expansion of your small business' web presence, it quickly becomes difficult to maintain and manage website updates in a prompt yet convenient way. A CMS allows you to streamline the maintaining of a your small business websites content, and grow your companies website as your small business grows. Simply put, a CMS makes it easier, faster and safer to manage your small business' online information.
Making sure it's done right.
If content management systems have had one downfall it's usability in the back end. Installing a CMS always required a degree in rocket surgery. They have evolved over the years, but still require a skilled hand. Take a look at the screen shot above this paragraph, that is one of the first screens you are greeted with when you try and install the most current version of Drupal. It's not impossible for the novice user to install, it just takes some practice. Once installed you want to make sure it's properly backed up and it's possible to restore from a back up easily in case of an emergency.
