So, what is a CMS and why would you want to have one?
CMS stands for Content Management System. The basic function of a CMS is to provide a way for non-technical web users to edit the content shown on their website.
This editing functionality can be as simple as text-only editing through a simple to use text editor, and yet can be sophisticated enough to control all aspects of the your website as well.
Such systems were once exclusive to very large organisations with a dedicated website development team and large pockets.
Not anymore! Today's content management systems are affordable for any small business. With access to a web enabled computer, any business owner can own a website which can updated on a weekly or daily basis.
And why is this important to you?
Well, in the past, if you wanted to maintain even the most simplest of website it would involve;
- FTP (file transfer protocol) programme to access your site and upload
- HTML (hyper text markup language) editing programme
- An understanding of HTML
While this is all possible, the design element of the site is built into the HTML and with just one click you can ruin the whole page, and hours of work!
With a CMS website from BMD SOLUTIONS, if you can edit a word document you can edit your website. FACT!
