Content Management Systems (CMS)

filler
Horizontal Line Divide
filler
Content Management Systems (CMS) allow editing of a website's text and images without the need to be a web designer.  The system we chose is user-friendly, intuitive and browser based which means you can logon and update your website from anywhere in the world with an internet connection.

How it Works

filler
Each web page you visit is written in code (predominately HTML code) which your browser (Internet Explorer, Firefox, Safari etc.) reads and converts into the page you see.  What we do is insert special code allowing certain parts to be editable by our nominated CMS. 

 

You simply login to a website and you can change your page.

 

Below you can see an example of just how easy it is to take control of your website and avoid recurring costs from web designers!

An Example of CMS in Action

Step 1

filler
We produced a brochure website for Violet Wedding Planners and included in the price was our CMS solution to allow them to easily update the website, a perfect example!

 

To the left is how our website currently looks and we want to change the picture of the bride on the home page and the title - "Welcome to Violet Wedding Planning" (click the image to enlarge it).

Step 2

To do this we logon to our CMS website and select the page to edit from a list.

 

The CMS website displays the components of our page that we can edit, in this example the main image, the title and the main body text can all be edited as you can see in the picture to the left (click the image to enlarge).

Step 3

filler
Lets start by changing the picture of our bride and replace it with an image of a Rolls Royce.

 

To do this we click on the "Browse..." button next to the image.  (See image to the left - click to enlarge)

 

This brings up a box to allow us to browse to the image on your computer.  Simply click open and the file will upload once we have finished our other amendments.

Next we are going to change the title from :

 

"Welcome to Violet Wedding Planning"   to   "Welcome to Magenta Wedding Planning"

 

To achieve this all we need to do is highlight the text we want to change (in this case "Violet" and just type over it - no different to using Word!
