CMS Flexibility

When we work on a new project with a client, we ascertain what fields are standard within their requirements and whether the users are likely to have an understanding of HTML, or just want to copy and past from other sources. This allows us to determine how restrictive or felxible your CMS needs to be.

If you install an off-the-shelf CMS, then you will be faced with a huge variety of options and detail to fill in every time you want to publish a new page of content. This may suit your business, but for many it means learning yet another tool that adds nothing to your core business competencies.

Some CMSs are incredibly simple: A space for the title and a bigger space to paste a Word document into. At this basic level, all other options can be hidden or removed so that the task can be delegated to anyone who can use a keyboard and mouse.

Other CMS are, by necesity much more compliacated, including image uploads, related file downloads, publish date, unpublish date, approval status and many details that may be specific to your business, such as taxonomy classification, competitor information and the like.

Whatever your requirements, it is likely that we have encountered them before, so can help you through the decision process and produce a CMS that is engineered to match your requirements perfectly.
