What Are The Benefits Of Using A CMS Website?

Using a CMS to design and develop your site is a great way to reduce development costs and the time required to create and manage a successful website.

Using a Content Management System will enable the website layout to be quickly designed and applied without needing to modify each page on the site.

Content can be dynamically loaded and created by dedicated site authors with little training or outsourced to a design agency.

In the broadest terms, website content management is the system used to control the flow of content through a website.

Content is anything that can be consumed: images, HTML, video, audio, or anything else.

This “flow” controls everything relevant, including permissions: who can access and modify the data, how it is stored and displayed, and other things.

Typically the content management system will act as a back-end to the site, so no user will ever directly interact with the system but only its components. To summarise, the best reasons to use a CMS over a traditional HTML website are:

  • Lower setup and operating costs
  • You keep control over site content at all times
  • Page styles can be changed from a single source file
  • Multiple users can update a site at once
  • The same content can be shown on multiple pages

Website Training

If you already have a CMS (such as WordPress), you may have a knowledge gap in how to use the system effectively. If this sounds familiar, employing us as a bespoke training provider for your CMS of choice may be beneficial.

Our CMS training is dedicated to training you on the aspects of your CMS that you will use regularly. We often find a generic training course covering many ‘top-level’ aspects that you will probably never touch. For example, WordPress has a feature where you can export all your content in a .xml file and re-upload it to a fresh WordPress installation. Handy? Yes, undoubtedly. Will you ever do that? Probably not!

We focus on creating pages/posts, adding images, optimising images and content, and detailing the SEO you can do as default when you create content. How to manage your pages/products/posts, creating, updating and assigning menus etc. We spend more time at the start researching what you use the site for so that we can tailor a training package that will include the aspects you value.

Phone or drop in. We’d love to talk to you!

We are open Monday to Friday, 9am to 5pm.
