One of the most important decisions you need to make when having your website built is deciding whether you require a Content Management System (CMS) or a static website. Although, this is an important decision to make the right choice is actually quite easy \u2013 You simply need to decide whether you would like to make changes to the website yourself or would prefer this to be left to your chosen web designer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Static websites are usually smaller sites featuring a small number of pages and require less updates and content changes. The updates would usually require a web designer to implement because at least a little knowledge of HTML is needed.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
A CMS (Content Management System) website are built usually with the view of increasing content and possibly functionality over time. The site owner is given access to an admin area where they are able to add or edit content themselves without breaking any of the code in the structure of the website.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
As well as editing basic wording throughout the site, a CMS will usually have additional bespoke functions such as adding photo galleries, news articles and events.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
Popular Content Management System\u2019s used are WordPress and Drupal, both allow scope for the site owner to edit large portions of the website without the help of a web developer.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
In our experience a lot of our clients like the idea of keeping their website up to date themselves but realistically they struggle to find the time to do so and end up leaving this task to us.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
However, we believe paying a little bit more for a CMS gives the flexibility and functionality incase you or one of your employees situation changes and are able to free up some time to keep the website up to date \u2013 This can also offer a more personal feel to your website because the content comes directly from somebody who knows about the ethos of the company.<\/p>\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
