CTRLmedia - Website Design Oldham, graphic design, creative multimedia solutions.

Fundamentally a CMS is a website that works in conjunction with a database. The website has two core areas which both communicate with the database using a pre determined language. The "front end" part of the system is what the general public see's when they visit your site. ie What you are looking at right now. Sitting underneath this "front end" is a "back end". The back end allows changes to be made by non experts to affect the front end. Therefore a Content Management System (CMS) enables authorised staff to interact with your site in many ways. Just think about this for a moment, you may have a 10000 page website and want to change the font colour of all the text. This can be done in a matter of minutes using CMS.

The really great thing about using a CMS is its expandability. You want to change your site in to an e-commerce solution? You want to add image galleries? You want to integrate a members area? You want to capture data from your clients securely?
All of this plus much much more can be easily implemented within our CMS structure without the need to completely rebuild your site.

Integrating a CMS system to your website offers immediate benefits:

* people with average word processing skills can easily update your site content
* more consistency of content
* decentralised authoring via web browser
* greater capacity for growth
* brand consistency preservered - content is stored seperately for design
* reduced maintenance costs
