CMS Development
1.
2. It is only when we create our own website and prepare its launch
that we begin to notice the shortcomings popping up one after the
other. Like wishing away those pop-up ads on the net, we cannot get
rid of these nuances, much less ignore them. A thorough remake that
could set the webmaster on a spiral to wizardry may sometimes be
required to get our site rolling on a racetrack.
Thankfully, Content Management System (CMS) is here to
help us tide over these early hic-ups and even provide an ongoing
chassis loaded with visual blinders and verbal hyper quotes that can
send the iconic James Bond into delirium. We surrender, however, to
the fact that our graphical assault is limited to the contents of our
weapon’s magazine but Content Management System (CMS) ensures
the firepower is sustainable.
3. Different CMS available today are-
VAE- is an all-in-one CMS, e-commerce and e-mail marketing platform. VAE allows
us to build pages as HTML or CSS files without the typical use of templates,
modules or blocks.
Light CMS- is targeted at web designers with 80 templates
Business Catalyst- is hosted CMS by Adobe- targeted at business owners. An all-in-
one system that include blogging, e-commerce, CRM, e-mail marketing and
analytics.
Squarespace- focuses on in-context design and editing
Webvanta- prompts us to select from a list of templates.
There is no hard and fast rule as to the choice of a CMS should include all the
latest available features. The least optimum combination that will cover all our
required options at the most economic cost would be a justifiable pick.
4. It is an electronic system that enables publishing, editing, and modifying
content as well as site from a central page. It provides a collection of manual
and computer-based procedures to manage workflow in a collaborative
environment.
CMS extends the shelf-life of a website that is somewhere between two to
three years. Changes to site templates can improve the site over time and
avoid a complete overhaul that can be a drain on resources.
CMS sites can have a new design applied to its templates avoiding a reformat
entirely. CMS enables addition of new sections, implementation of extranets
and presents virtually no loss of opportunities.
5. A normal website is created as a brochure, to sell products online, or to solicit
further business through resultant exposure. It is designed, created and hosted
by a website designer and programmed using HTML or XHMTL language. Once
online any changes will require the web designer or a techie who knows to
edit, create or delete a web page.
Advantages- Low cost; Simple to create and host; Quick download on lower
bandwidths
Disadvantages- Can be expensive if frequently updated; Lengthy change
procedures involving web designer; Rigid functions that can let competitors
gain an edge.
6. A CMS website enables contents to be edited, updated and deleted through
MySQL database using server-scripted languages PHP, ASP or ASP.net.
Advantages- Alter contents at will without web designer or HTML code and
instantly Cheaper
Disadvantages- Initial cost is higher; slower at lower bandwidths; Complex
contents require trained handling
The benefits thus accrued have left the end users choice less.
Therefore more corporate companies are seeking CMS to update their websites
periodically with their lean IT personnel and infrastructure.
