Content Management Systems - CMS | Global Edge Software Ltd

Content Management

A content management system (CMS) is nothing but a record or tracker of all the contents on your website. These contents can be anything starting from images, logos to videos, and even flash animations. They do not require any skills or expertise to handle or to learn.

It is user-friendly. Do you want the freedom to update your website at your ease with no maintenance? If you answered yes, then this package is just for you. A CMS not only creates the structure of how information- articles, video, design elements, and images- will be presented but it gives all the tools for populating a website.

A CMS assists the web editor by providing tools for the creation of content, the publishing of the content, and, ultimately to archiving and storing the content. Depending on the client’s needs and staffing, the CMS can be designed for use by a highly technical webmaster or can be so simple and intuitive that even the most technologically challenged editors can use it effectively.

Joomla Web Development

At GES, we make use of Joomla for website development and as part of E-Commerce solutions. Unlike the HTML driven sites which require the user to learn HTML for the operation and maintenance purposes; the sites developed using Joomla do not require the user to learn it thoroughly to manage the operations. It provides a user-friendly solution for maintaining and managing the websites built upon it.

The striking features that led us to adopt Joomla for website development include:

Provides efficient time management- We found that it is very easy to build sites using Joomla which can be achieved within a very short span of time. HTML sites took a longer time to complete.
Easy to update- Once the site is launched, the client might require certain modifications or changes to be accommodated in the site according to the changing trends. It offers an opportunity for our clients to extend the functionality by updating the site without having to depend on our developers once the site goes live. The only requirement is familiarity with Microsoft Word.
Presence of numerous functionalities- Joomla offers more than 4000 plug-ins for improving the functionality of the site. You might require paying thousands of dollars to get these kinds of plug-ins and complicated functionalities installed when using HTML. The addition of the functionalities onto the sites requires very little time whereas it might take hours when using HTML. All these functionalities are available free of cost.
