Overview
Many of our clients wish to update the content of their web site immediately, without having to contact us to make the changes for them. Breaking news, important company announcements, sales and product price reductions, can be flagged up as they happen.

Content Management or CMS, allows them to do this from anywhere in the world, using a web browser like IE6. What's more, there is no requirement to know anything about web design or html in order to edit their site, without compromising the design.

There are many different ways in which this system can be set up; from the simplest form-filling editing to more versatile editing that you would find in other familiar office programs.

How it works
With all CMS editing systems a site is designed and built to the client's specifications, with the editable areas defined. These areas can then be edited, in real time, by the client when the site is live. Examples could be News pages, diary dates, employees CV's, product details and specifications. the list is endless!

The administrator of the site can edit the designated regions, by entering the site through the hidden 'back end' or 'administration' area, logging in using a personal user name and password.

The content is updated by selecting options, ticking check boxes, adding text to text box's, or by using a simple wysiwyg* editor (similar to any text editor), depending on the required application.

These page attributes are stored in a database, and are called as required, creating the web page dynamically!
