Friday, August 24th, 2007

Once Joomla! is installed and running, it is simple for even non-technical users to add or edit content, update images, and to manage the critical data that makes your company or organization go. Anybody with basic word processing skills can easily learn to manage a Joomla! site.

Why do you need CMS?

Thursday, August 2nd, 2007

Many companies find it difficult to keep their web site content as up to date as they would like. All too often there are delays in getting the content together, the update is postponed, the site stagnates and your clients see the wrong information. That’s why so many companies are turning to CMS solutions.

A CMS web site allows you to manage your web site even if you have no technical knowledge, experience with HTML or web site design. It also reduces the calls to your web design agency or IT department for changes to the web site. CMS reduces the time required to publish, allowing you to get your content on-line faster. This is an important issue for any professional web site.

Once your CMS has been developed, it belongs to you. There are no monthly fees – no license fee – you are not tied to a third party in any way. You login to your own site to control your own content. You have complete independence and total control!
