Content Management Systems (CMS)

With a CMS behind your web site, both technical and non-technical people can create, edit, manage and finally publish a variety of content. A CMS can be as simple as setting up a locked template system in Macromedia Dreamweaver or as complex as a portal server. This is ideal for creating and deploying projects such as commercial web sites, corporate intranet's and extranets. The primary CMS we work with is built on a Microsoft ASP.NET (VB.NET) platform. It offers a wealth of built in capabilities, including:

  • Announcements
  • Banners
  • Contacts
  • Discussion
  • Documents
  • Events List/Calendar
  • FAQ's
  • Feedback
  • Image
  • Links
  • News Feed (RSS)
  • Search

One of the biggest benefits of a CMS is that it allows you (the Client) to post your own updates. We believe that our clients should be able to change their content without having to continually pay maintenance fees or become a programmer. With a CMS behind your Web site, you can keep fresh content by publishing regular updates. This can be as simple as having a "News" page where you publish your latest news or press releases, or made more sophisticated, allowing for you to change your entire page layout, upload and display images, and even email subscriber's newsletters. With this capability your visitors will keep coming back. The end result - you will get more out of your online investment with more exposure to your users. Does your site need a CMS?

Small web sites that are rarely updated are usually best set up using a fixed web site design that is maintained by through a WYSWIG editor such as FrontPage or Dreamweaver either by AdapDev or the site owner. Web sites requiring more frequent updates such as a news or media release page usually benefit from a CMS.

Even relatively small businesses in this "Information Age" are overwhelmed by the sheer volume of data that they need to handle on a daily basis. All of this data including proposals, receipts, quotes, emails, spreadsheets, appointments and contacts form a virtual tidal wave of information that can swamp any company, large or small.
