Web Content Management

When we look at implementing web content management system into an organization we always look at whether it is better to use Open Source, Build, Buy or in some cases stay put. Since every organization is different, there is no one size fits all content management solution so the system will need reconfiguring and restructuring for ultimate performance.

Some of the advantages of using a Web Content Management System (WCM) are:

  • Streamlined content production, editing and management process
  • Marketing and Non Technical people can upload to the web to stop technical bottle-necks
  • Systems help create brand uniformity

We have worked with the follow Open Source Content Management Systems:

  • Joomla
  • Wordpress
  • Drupal
  • OSCommerce
  • Mambo
  • E107
  • Modx
  • CMS Made Simple
  • Movable Type
  • Blogger
  • MediaWiki

We have also worked with a host of other commercial solutions and have found that there is no superior system. We are currently testing multiple site content management as we believe this can be a massive advantage to many large media and ecommerce businesses with multiple web domains and sections.
