Content Management Systems (CMS)
Sounds like a mouthful but what it really means is a way for you, the website owner, to make modifications to your website simply and easily with little or no knowledge of any programming language. This could include your shopping cart, a news page, bookings calendar, journal or blog, sporting or entertainment events. Anything you want to change, any time you want, you can do it with a CMS. With today’s wireless technology you can even update your website from the local cafe you visit for lunch, the back of a cab on a long ride home or an airport lounge whilst waiting for a flight.

We build the CMS around your needs. We talk to you and see what you need from your website right now but also for the future. When we built the CMS for one of our clients he wanted to use it just to update photo's of kitchens and add the latest colour charts, door styles and so on. We talked to him and worked out that, eventually, he also wanted to have an online store so we built the CMS around current needs but also with the future of the business in mind. After six months they were ready to expand the website and now have hundreds of products in their online store.

We design the content management system interface with people who have no knowledge of the internet or computers in mind so they are very simple use or to teach new or existing employees to use.

We can also modify any existing content management system you may have to suit your existing website adapt it to a new web site you want to build.  This can include integrating the cms into your existing website design or modifying the layout of the cms to suit a new website design.  We can also install a new cms for you and add the  modules you want.

 What is a CMS
A content management system is an array of applications all tied together into one user interface.  It can be as simple as a Blog or as complicated as an intranet/internet portal with Email, Shopping Cart, Stock Ordering System, Project Management, File Management, Search Interface, News and Events Calender and just about any other internet/intranet application. Some common content management systems are listed below.

 Mambo
One of the oldest and most respected CMS available today.  It has a huge installed base with many options.

Mambo is a full-featured content management system that can be used for everything from simple websites to complex corporate site applications.

Features include a large and healthy user and developer community, a basic level of content approval for registered users and online help.

A page caching mechanism improves performance on busy sites and there is also a trash manager, advertising management (banners, etc) and media (images, documents) can be uploaded and managed.

You can have content display scheduling, content syndication (RSS), search engine friendly (SEF) URL's, internationalisation (interface translation) and a content macro language (aka mambots).

There are both advanced and separate system administration systems and an advanced package/add on/template deployment system with a simple but powerful template system (written mostly in HTML, no complex template syntax to learn, just a couple of PHP functions to include). Mambo can be downloaded for Free here. Pricing for installing or modification of Mambo around an existing or new site depends on the complexity of the website.
