A Content Management System (CMS) allows you to easily manage your own website. If you choose to have someone else manage the content of the site, you can easily accomplish that as well without given that person full access to everything. Once a site is managed by a CMS, the owner can easily become more familiar with his/her site without spending weeks learning all of the technical expertise required to manage a typical website. Additionally, this ease of use reduces the frequent calls and charges associated with having a web developer make simple content changes.

Future global changes of a site that is powered by a Content Management System is easily accomplished with an adjustment to an existing template/theme. Since all of the content of the site resides in a database, it is isolated from the appearance of your site.

The Systems we have experience with and recommend are:

• Joomla
• MDPro/MDLite
• Postnuke
• OpenStar
