Posted by SiMedia | Filed under Online Marketing
In our most recent newsletter, we offered insight on how a CMS works. But how exactly does it benefit you? Let’s explore the features of a CMS a bit closer…
1. Faster Updates – As mentioned in the newsletter, a CMS solution allows you to modify and refresh your website internally without having to constantly hire outside web developers.
2. Control Your Content – using a CMS, you can control your content from remote locations. Additionally, your employees can have individual user accounts with customized access rights granting them permission to control specific areas of your website. This is an excellent way to create accountability within your organization.
3. Instantaneous Results – When a new webpage is created using a CMS solution, it automatically goes live on the Web once approved by the designated parties. With a good CMS, the flow of information between departments and approval staff can be all automated.
4. Tailor your Website – with a CMS solution you can customize the layout and functionality of your website at any time. Whether you want to add a new webpage or a new photo gallery, it can all be done with just a few clicks.
5. Add a Blog – Blogs are a great tool to communicate with your customers and market your products or services in a timely fashion. At Si, we offer the SiCMS, a fully customizable CMS solution that allows you to add easy-to-use Blogging functionalities.
6. Flexible Design – Content and design are stored separately in a CMS, therefore, when a new webpage is created the design will never change. Users can simply enter the content while the design and layout remains the same across all pages on the website. If your company logo changes or brand changes and the entire site needs a redesign. A CMS makes it easy to change visuals across the board while keeping your text, archives of content and all your data in tact.
7. Database-backed Website – Content is stored on a database allowing you to access it for future use, which cannot be done with a static website. This data can also be accessed by third party tools, solutions and other data readers to reposition your content or data somewhere else, for example for mobile phones, digital signage or other forms of digital media.
8. Ease-of-Use – typically CMS solutions are created with non-technical users in mind and the SiCMS is the perfect example! You do not need knowledge of HTML or any other skills; the interface is guaranteed to be easy and straightforward for all content authors.
9. Content Scheduling – the publication of content to the web can be done in a timely fashion using scheduling rules done internally within the CMS.
10. SAVE! – Other than the initial set-up expense of a CMS solution, the long-term costs are minimal to none; an opportunity that businesses can certainly capitalize on!
We are firm believers that a CMS solution is the way of the future for businesses of all sizes! To find out more about our SiCMS, please contact our Sales Department at sales@simplyintense.com.
