Specialty Solutions

Content Management

Clients who plan to make updates and changes to content on their site often have the option to have their site built with a Content Management System (CMS) so that they are empowered to manage the site and its content without having to work with code.

Once the needs of your site are established in terms of functionality, we will make a recommendation of one of the various platforms available such as WordPress, Joomla, or Drupal.

We have found that WordPress, an Open Source Content Management System, and a custom combination of plugins can deliver exceptional functionality that you are able to manage primarily on your own.The kind of functionality that would otherwise require notable custom development time and significantly more expense. It is also SEO friendly "out-of-the-box" and extremely flexible. You can even manage multiple sites from one WordPress installation with the latest release.

Drupal, another Open Source Content Management System, is suitable for sites requiring a higher level of social and other advanced features. It is a very appropriate option for businesses experiencing strong growth who may require enterprise level capabilities and support for their web site.
