Content Management Systems. Why every website needs one

Content Management Systems also known as CMS for short have proven to be the most useful tool in updating, editing and staying in control of your website. We at webfaCeMEdia have made it a must to include such a tool in all our web development and website design projects.

Why do I need a Content Management System?

To update, add or remove content from your website.  Gone are the days of calling your web designer to update your homepage. Running a successful website requires a very “hands-on” approach. There are a lot of little tweaks and edits that website owners have to implement regularly to stay on top of their websites, search engines and their competition. It is almost virtually impossible for you to run your website effectively and achieve results if you have to “farm out” these changes. A good example is your website home page and the meta tags and meta descriptions that go along with it. Search engines index a website on average about once a month. If you are paying attention to your site visitor stats and your search engine placement (where your site falls in search results), you will find you have to make a number of word edits and refining to get your site ranked better and you will most likely want to make these edits before your site gets indexed again. Getting your webdesigner or webdesign company to make these edits is not very practical and could become rather costly. The solution to this is to have a Content Management System (CMS) in place and delegate the responsibility of managing your website thru the cms to someone in your organization.

Why do I need a Content Management System?

To change the design of your site without having to type in all your content again. A good Content Management System is usually flexible enough to have design (themes or templates) separated from content(text, pictures, images, videos). This allows you to change the whole look of your site or just a part of it, without a total redevelopment process and without losing any of your content. You could for example put up seasonal themes or time specific ads or graphics e.g. “Easter Special” and can remove or change these later after the time has passed. Without a Content Management System (CMS), this could be an expensive and tedious process and good luck getting those updates done right when you need it.
