One of the popular tools for website development projects is a content management system or CMS. This is a fancy way to say you have the ability to update content on your website. The struggle many organizations face is being able to provide timely information to your users, customers, or clients. A content management system enables non-technical personnel the ability to update your website from an internet browser. This means no longer needing to contact your IT department, web developer or worse…learn HTML, just to make an update to your site.

So should you really consider a content management system for your next website development project? In short yes! Most CMS tools allow you to add or edit content pages. You also will be able to format content by adding images, files, links and much more. There are many different types of content managements systems available with different levels of features. Make sure to contact your web developer for suggestions prior to starting website development project.

The biggest advantage of including a content management system is the control you will gain over your website and messaging. Rather than just having a website, you will have an important tool in your marketing toolkit. For many organizations, a CMS means your website will be the one marketing channel that has the most current, up to date information about your company, products and services.
