What's a content management system (CMS)?

We build our client sites using an award-winning content management system (CMS), which enables your site to have powerful online applications. A content management system is software that keeps track of every piece of content on your Web site, much like your local public library keeps track of books and stores them in a database. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of. A major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage. Since the CMS manages all your content, you don't have to.

Our CMS system is used in a wide range of web sites, small, medium and large, such as the following:

• Corporate Web sites or portals
• Corporate intranets and extranets
• Online magazines, newspapers, and publications
• E-commerce and online reservations
• Government applications
• Small business Web sites
• Non-profit and organizational Web sites
• Community-based portals
• School and church Web sites
• And much more!
