End the Fees & Frustration of Website Maintenance
Many companies and organizations outsource their website maintenance – perhaps due to time constraints or lack of IT knowledge or software. (And wow, those maintenance fees!) Other companies have a dedicated person responsible for that task, but that burden often falls aside due to other job duties. Eventually the website is left stagnant and out-dated. Sound familiar?
Thankfully, these problems are specifically what a content management system (CMS) is designed to solve! This is the end of paying technical staff to perform expensive and time-consuming updates to your website. A CMS is critical to the success of almost every website, and yet many companies are not familiar with the technology.
Let’s take a step back, and look at the basic definition of a content management system. A CMS is a web browser editor that allows users to SIMPLY and LOGICALLY manage their website – add/edit/delete information, build a new section, alter your messaging or rearrange your navigation. A CMS also takes care of a lot of the “behind the scenes” work such as: automatically creating navigation when adding pages; making content searchable; and keeping track of users and their permissions.
- No special software is required (say goodbye to manual tools such as Dreamweaver or FrontPage).
- No coding or HTML is required.
- No advanced computer skills are required.
- There is no limit to the number of website pages.
- And perhaps best of all, no more ongoing website maintenance fees!
Make updates anytime, anywhere. All you need is an internet connection to login and update your website - from your office, home, laptop or even when you're traveling.
Save time and money. No need to pay for updates, and no more waiting for your webmaster to make your required updates. Maintenance costs are no longer an issue - leaving you more time and money to get on with your business.
It's as easy as using Microsoft Word. With the powerful web browser editor, create and edit professional pages in minutes with no need to worry about coding or anything technical.
Search engines like updated content. Keeping fresh and accurate information flow to your website is critical to your website’s success. Content that is kept updated and includes relevant keywords and phrases increases your search engine rankings, and ultimately spurs web traffic. CMS has tools to manage, monitor and optimize your content to be search engine-friendly.
Design options are limitless. It’s a common misconception that using a CMS limits your design options. That is simply untrue - ANY design can be applied to work with a CMS. Plus the site design is separate from the content, which allows you to change the design anytime without affecting the content stored on the site.
Go beyond the basics. While basic site management is enough for most companies, the CMS can be customized to allow users more complex modules such as e-commerce, polls, banners, forums, news management, calendar & event registration, etc.
Investment is minimal. Considering its vast benefits, CMS is remarkably affordable. Basic websites start at as little as $600. Adding enhanced custom features such as e-commerce or database integration increases the up-front costs, but remember NO MORE MAINTENANCE FEES.
Hosting is feasible. Basic website hosting including the robust CMS tool is $299.95 annually, and will recur on an annual basis. That’s a lot of power for a small fee!
CMS will dramatically simplify the maintenance process of your website. Research shows that visitors are more likely to return to your website if it is updated frequently. They want to see new services, helpful tips, learn of new employees, etc. Until now, website maintenance has been no easy task! CMS is here to change that!
