CMS Development

In the old days, businesses had to build everything from the ground up.  You wanted an email marketing system?…let’s build it.  A customer relationship management tool?... let’s map it out and build it.  If a company needed the ability to update content throughout their site so they could save costs, well this had to be built from scratch too.  How ‘bout a member login area?…start coding.

Something cool happened along the way.  Countless developers and their clients realized that all their hard work (and pain) wasn’t being put to good use.  Not many developers shared their code thinking that a thousand other developers would steal their code and giggle maniacally as they walked into the sunset with their stolen opportunities.  Then someone decided to build things under Open Source (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Open_source).  What this did is that it opened up a world of possibilities for small businesses.  You no longer had to be a large company with a insane marketing budget to reap the benefits of all the cool platforms, widgets, plug-ins and tools that were out there.

Many of the tools that clients need for their websites; from managing content, to building forms, member login tools, to featuring photos & video have already been built.  You simply need a team that knows how to integrate these tools.

But you still need someone who understands applications and how to build them seamlessly into your website for you to take full advantage of a CMS.  You have several great options including:

• Joomla
• Wordpress
• ModX
• Drupal

We can tell you about the ins and outs of each system and what is best for your site.  The cost savings that you’ll reap from a good development team will become evident when you implement an open-source CMS.  

As great as these systems are though you still need someone to implement.  Think of them as pre-built custom engines to put in your hot rod website.  You’ll require the services of a good mechanic – one who knows custom engines and can integrate seamlessly into your ‘ride’.
