Incorporate a Content Management System into your Corporate Website!

Why Do You Need CMS For Your Corporate Website?

Being one of the administrators for my employers’ website content management system, I agree with the premise of this article. The Content Management System (CMS) provides for easy updates without the consequences of tampering with Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). Often at work, I am asked to post time-sensitive documents and it could not be easier with CMS. I basically receive the documents via email, log on to the company’s CMS and copy and paste the pertinent information into the appropriate container and click update. Upon approval by management, the document is posted in real-time.

Since the maintenance of the CMS is a duty given to me outside of the realm of my primary duties, a CMS can be cost-effective because it does not require a full-time web designer/developer to maintain it. Albeit, I am not a seasoned web developer; I am proficient in Html coding and CSS. But when it comes to CMS, no experience is needed. All information is title and subtitled and placed in content containers. “A Content Container is a separately created area or box, which contains content (combination of images, text, lists and links). Once created, these boxes or containers are not fixed to any one Web page. They can be moved around different Web pages on the Web site and they can be placed at different locations on a Web page. This adds a tremendous amount of design flexibility and content reuse to a Web site”.

A CMS would add flexibility and cut the cost of maintaining a corporate website. In addition to keeping the look and overall design of the corporate website and maintain design integrity.
