Content Management Systems
A content management system (CMS) allows you to take control of your website. Joomla is an open source content management software. A CMS can be used to easily manage every aspect of your website, from adding content and images to updating a product catalog or advertising events and event registrations. Managing a CMS site allows end-users who have a understanding of word processing the ability to update their own site.
Joomla and Wordpress are just two content management technologies used by All Digital Designs. These industry-leading technologies are easy-to-use solutions that provide you, the end user, administrative access to login, update content with out the worry of messing up the web site structure or design.
Having a Joomla or Wordpress CMS site is a excellent solution for personal sites and small businesses that want to develop and administer their own web space.
For many business owners, the real power of CMS sites lies in the application framework that makes it possible for thousands of developers around the world to create powerful add-ons and extensions. Here are just some examples of the hundreds of available extensions and add-ons:
- E-commerce and shopping cart engines
- Dynamic form builders
- Business or organizational directories
- Document management
- Image and multimedia galleries
- Events Management & Registration
- Forums and chat software
- Calendars
- Blogging software
- Directory services
- Email newsletters
- Data collection and reporting tools
- Banner advertising systems
- Subscription services
- and many, many more…
Because many (not all) Joomla and Wordpress module additions are open source technolgy you don't pay for the software you simply pay for All Digital Designs to install and configure the software, customize the "look and feel" to reflect your business and train you to manage your own site. How easy is it to manage your own site? Well that will depend on your basic computer knowledge and the specific functionality included in your site. Of course All Digital Support is there for that extra support when you need it.
