A few reasons why you need a system to manage the content on your web site. Control
The control for managing and updating the web site is put back in to the hands of your staff. Your content will be fresh, up-to-date and accurate. No need for you to wait until your web designer has time to update your site. The people who create the content for your company's web site can publish it themselves. This helps to eliminate errors in the content and poor categorisation of content.
Cost Reduction
You can reduce the costs associated with ongoing web maintenance, because your staff is handling many of the changes that used to require internal or third party programmers.
Control Of Your Web Sites Appearance
You can control the look and feel of your site with templates. Fonts, font size , link styles can all be 'locked down' to ensure that the site has a standard appearance even when different editors place content online.
Security
Each web site editor is assigned their own username & password. You can control what sections of the site they are allowed edit or access. You can enable Email notification and be automatically informed when your site has been edited. A complete editorial history is retained on the site so you can determine who edited information and when.
Flexibility
You can make changes to your site instantly without having to learn HTML or any other programming languages.
Browser Based Application
You can create new pages, edit and approve content, assign security privileges and more just by using Internet Explorer. There is no need to install any special software or hardware on your computer. This means you can add additional editors to your site at no cost.
Database Driven Application
All content is stored in a database, allowing for easy management and for migration to other formats in the future, such as printable page templates, visually impaired version of site templates, handheld devices, etc.
Manage Multi-lingual Content
Reduces the difficulties in deploying more than one language on your web site. The Waterford County Council web site is available in an English and Irish language version.
