Create Your Own Website

Create Your Own Website Using a Content Management System

With a web Content Management System [CMS] you can create your own web page, pages, or an entire site. We know that different web design projects have different requirements, as each project is custom, but if you want the freedom of editing your own website then we have a solution for you: Joomla CMS.

With Joomla CMS you don’t have to run software on your computer to create your own web pages, so there’s no need to install editing software like Dreamweaver or an FTP client to transfer your files to a server. Joomla is installed on your server and you can use it by simply logging into your website and editing your text. If you know how to use a word processor you will love Joomla – its WYSIWYG interface makes formatting a breeze.

Many websites remain out of date because their owners can’t afford to hire a web designer to manage their site and they are too busy to learn how to do it themselves. Having a website with stale, old content is the kiss of death when it comes to your placement in search engine results. When the spiders come through your site and they notice nothing has changed, your ranking slides, so it is imperative to update your web pages. With that in mind we train all our clients on how to use their Joomla CMS so they feel confident to edit and renew their web content.

Why we use Joomla

Joomla is our web Content Management System of choice because after having used several CMSs, some even very expensive custom built applications used by other web design firms, we came back to Joomla time and time again.

By using an open source Content Management System we can pass savings on to you, and by using Joomla in particular, we can deliver a robust system that is unparalleled due to over a thousand plug-ins, ranging from simple calendars to real estate listing generators.

Wordpress is another web Content Management System that is used by millions. Primarily used for blogs, it is now gaining popularity in web design circles as a platform for standard looking web sites. We also use Wordpress if a blog or less feature-rich site is required by a client. Out of the box Wordpress is favored by Google, for myriad reasons. If you need a blog Wordpress is the best solution for you. Just like with Joomla CMS, if you can use a word processor like Microsoft Word, you can create your own web pages and edit them too.

A web Content Management System is highly versatile as it is database driven. You can load up your site with content ready to be published at times set by you. Imagine as a small business owner being able to create pages that will be published and/or removed while you are away on a much needed vacation. Say goodbye to worrying about keeping your web site current, say hello to content management.
