Content
Management System (CMS) Advantages
It is only when we create our own
website and prepare its launch that we begin to notice the shortcomings popping
up one after the other. Like wishing away those pop-up ads on the net we cannot
rid these nuances, much less ignore them. A thorough remake that could set the
webmaster on a spiral to wizardry may sometimes be required to get our site
rolling on a racetrack.
Thankfully,
Content Management System (CMS) is
here to help us tide over these early hic-ups and even provide an ongoing
chassis loaded with visual blinders and verbal hyper quotes that can send the
iconic James Bond into delirium. We surrender, however, to the fact that our
graphical assault is limited to the contents of our weapon’s magazine but Content Management System (CMS)
ensures the firepower is sustainable.
Different
CMS available today are-
VAE- is an all-in-one CMS, e-commerce and e-mail marketing
platform. Vae allows us to build pages as HTML or CSS files without the typical
use of templates, modules or blocks.
Light CMS- is targeted at web designers with 80 templates
Business Catalyst- is hosted CMS by Adobe targeted at
business owners. An all-in-one system that includes blogging, e-commerce, CRM,
e-mail marketing and analytics.
Squarespace- focuses on in-context design and
editing
Webvanta- prompts us to select from a list of templates.
There
is no hard and fast rule as to the choice of a CMS should include all the
latest available features. The least optimum combination that will cover all
our required options at the most economic cost would be a justifiable pick.
What is CMS?
It
is an electronic system that enables publishing, editing, and modifying content
as well as site from a central page. It provides a collection of manual and
computer-based procedures to manage workflow in a collaborative environment.
CMS
extends the shelf-life of a website that is somewhere between two to three
years. Changes to site templates can improve the site over time and avoid a complete overhaul that can be a drain
on resources.
CMS
sites can have a new design applied to its templates avoiding a reformat
entirely. CMS enables addition of new sections, implementation of extranets and
presents virtually no loss of opportunities.
Advantages of CMS over normal
websites-
A
normal website is created as a brochure, to sell products online, or to solicit
further business through resultant exposure. It is designed, created and hosted
by a website designer and programmed using HTML or XHMTL language. Once online
any changes will require the web designer or a techie who knows to edit, create
or delete a web page.
Advantages- Low cost; Simple to create and
host; Quick download on lower bandwidths
Disadvantages- Can be expensive if frequently
updated; Lengthy change procedures involving web designer; Rigid functions that
can let competitors gain an edge.
A
CMS website enables contents to be edited, updated and deleted through MySQL
database using server-scripted languages PHP, ASP or ASP.net.
Advantages- Alter contents at will
without web designer or HTML code and instantly Cheaper
Disadvantages- Initial cost is higher; slower at
lower bandwidths; Complex contents require trained handling
The
benefits thus accrued have left the end users choice less.
