Content Management Systems Staffordshire
A content management system (CMS for short) offers you the flexibility and freedom to quickly add, delete and edit the content of your website without having any technical skills or programming knowledge. It means you can respond to market demands instantaneously, keeping you in ultimate control of your business.
We have a variety of content management systems which we have developed for companies across Staffordshire.

How does a content management system work?
First, we’ll design your website with ‘dynamic’ pages. A dynamic web page is simply a page where the content is created from a database each time the page is viewed. If you change the information in the database, the next time someone views that page it will display the new information. We’ll then set up a secure admin area that you can access from any computer that has internet access. Once logged in, you’ll be able to view, add, edit and delete the content. As you change this content it will update the database that is used to display your website’s ‘dynamic’ content – therefore updating your website.
What are the advantages to having a CMS?
Cost: The most obvious advantage is that you can change your website’s content yourself at no cost. Whether you want to add a news item, change the price of a product or advertise a special offer, a CMS allows you to make changes and modifications without having to pay for the services of a web designer.
Keep up to date: It is crucial to have current and up to date content on your website. A CMS will ensure that you keep your web content current and relevant. It ensures your customers are always informed about what’s happening in your company in real-time, so there’s never a time lag between your company’s status, developments, products, services and offerings.
Flexibility: A CMS gives you the flexibility to build content over time. For example, you may only have limited information at website launch, but subsequently you may need to add more content. In this instance, a CMS is the ideal cost effective solution that allows your site to evolve with your needs.
Your website will be built with an integrated CMS that will allow you to add content as often as you like – so you can get your site up and running as quickly as possible.
Where to start?
We start by researching your company’s needs and discussing which content on your website you would like to be able to change. We’ll then custom build your CMS, in conjunction with designing your website. We use the same styles (fonts, colours, layout etc) across both the website and the CMS, so when you amend the content it will automatically be formatted inline with the site’s design style allowing you to concentrate on the content rather than getting bogged down by the design.
How much does a content management system cost?
The scope of what can be achieved using a CMS is vast yet with advances in technology we can provided a fully functional CMS for as little as £450 on top of the website design cost.
