Content Management

With a little extra planning, Bower Web Solutions of NJ can develop a Content Management System (CMS) for your web site, allowing you to edit most of its content.

CMSUpdating the content of your company web site can be a major project. Your text and other files must first be created and revised or updated, recoded into a web friendly HTML format and then eventually published and tested in a variety of web browsers.

Bower Web Solutions can program your web site to take advantage of a content management system (CMS). We have programmed web sites using such standard CMS software packages as WordPress and Joomla as well as custom coded Content Management Solutions.

Content Management Systems make possible

Typical CMS packages allow a webmaster or another authorized user to make these edits with little programming knowledge directly within a web browser with an internet connection.

Content Management. Is It Right For Me?

While a web site using a content management system would be useful for many companies and organization, there are also many other situations where a CMS maybe not be the best fit.

Some of these factors include:

  • Flexibility of the CMS
    Content management systems usually don't have the same flexibility or support of CGI, Java, JavaScript, Flash, XML, and other Web technologies (existing or brand new) or customizable layouts on a page per page basis as traditionally coded web sites.
  • Additional Workload
    With a traditional html based website, you would simply create the content (text, images, whatever) and deliver it to us to publish on your site for you. With most Content Management Systems, you would have more access to directly control the content of the site, but as such this adds to your overall workload and responsibility.
  • Workflow
    Adding a Content Management System will change your work flow, and require a learning curve for everyone to learn the new system.
  • Approvals
    This can sometimes be a rude awakening for developers and content creators alike. Why? Because on many websites the developers simply publish the pages with little or no quality assurance or even review. But most Content Management Systems include approvals and verification into the process before a page is put live.
  • Cost
    A good CMS is usually not cheap. You must consider the Up Front Costs versus the overall Return On Investment.

It is important to understand the pros and cons of a Content Management Solution before attempting to implement on your current or new web site. Contact Bower Web Solutions and we can help you decide if a CMS driven web site is a good fit for your company.
