Content Management Systems: Web Design Without Being A Webmaster

Content management systems (CMS) help make web design simplistic and quick. CMS allows you to easily update your content, like photos and text to name a few. However, the real power of content management systems (like Joomla, or blogs like Wordpress) includes literally thousands of add-on applications.
These plug-ins and components can be as modest or advanced as you like. So rather than having a static/brochure type of website that never changes, you can have extra features that help drive traffic that include social applications like Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and/or LinkedIn that are tied to your site. These applications can build your brand image and allows you to be accessible to your potential customers. Best of all though...once your designer installs these features you can easily update your own site by yourself.
Why Content Management Systems Are Important?
By using content management systems you through of the shackles of conventional web design. So having control of your own site is beneficial for many reasons, however, the two most popular are time and cost.
For example, let's say that ...
... you own a clothing store with a hundred new garments to list on your site. With a content management system it can be a matter off simply plugging in the information into a store database. Simply 'point and click' and your new products can be added in a matter of minutes. Plus, you no longer have to wait for Webmaster to add your products. The same can be said if you'd like something more 'advanced'.
For instance, a company might want to use an animated/flash gallery to showcase their work. With CMS they can add images, galleries and testimonials as often as they want and as immediately as needed. You are no longer at the mercy of waiting for someone else to make changes to your site. In fact, since it's web-based, any updates can be made using a smartphone (an iPhone, Blackberry, etc.) while out in the field.
As for the cost factor, you'll find CMS can save you tons of money on Webmaster fees since you have 'do-it-yourself web design'. When combined with the timesaving factor, it's easy to see why CMS is becoming more and more popular.
Who Offers CMS Sites?
Not all Webmasters can build web sites using CMS although CMS can save you both in time and money. So if you're a small to medium-sized business and you have some knowledge of the Web then CMS might be for you. Just a little understand of other user-friendly programs is all it take. Powers by Design builds our customer's sites using CMS, because it benefits us when we can put the power of easily updating your website in your own hands. Besides the convenience though it's great to see the sense of self-satisfaction that CMS brings - many customers like the freedom of being able to do their own Web site updates because they feel as if they're part of process.
