Editing Your Web Site Content

By

Technology giving end-users the ability to edit their web sites themselves is readily available and can be a very effective tool for ensuring your web site content remains relevant.

As anyone who's had to maintain a web site or intranet over time has no doubt discovered, keeping the content up to date can be a difficult and time consuming task.  Often, there's only a single person in the organization who has the skills or an outside firm is contracted to perform the updates.

Content Management Systems have been employed for many years to solve this problem, but have only in the past few years caught on and become mainstream with small and medium sized businesses.  The majority of web development companies now provide content management systems as part of their product offerings.

In addition to managing content, content management systems are often used to manage the structure and appearance of a web site.  

The strength of a content management system is how it gives the management ability to the end user.  By making the technology easy to use, multiple people not requiring special technical skills can be involved in the task of maintaining the web site.

For more informaiton on content management systems, what to look for and where to find one there's a short presentation that's available at: http://cmmgroup.ca/s5/cms.html
