CMS Web Design

Why get a Content Management System?

The reason that CMS is so popular is that the user is able to manage and update content quickly and easily via a back end control panel contained within the site.

No longer do you need to pay through the nose to a web developer every time you want the smallest change made to your website, simply log on and do it yourself.

This may sound daunting, especially if you don’t have a lot of experience with web design, but with platforms such as WordPress dramatically simplifying the entire process, you will be able to express yourself online without any need for coding experience or advanced technical expertise.

We specialise in web design and once we have your site up and running, CMS web design allows us to give you all the information you need to manage much of the website maintenance yourself, giving you full control over every aspect of your marketing.

What is a Content Management System?

A content management system is a pretty simple concept. After all, the clue is in the name.

A CMS is a type of website that allows let’s you to publish and edit content to your hearts content, all from a simple to understand interface that requires absolutely no coding experience.

Creating new web pages, uploading your latest images, and publishing blog posts as just a few of the tasks that CMS platforms make remarkably simple, with a simple user friendly interface perfect for all kinds of web content management.

All of the complicated coding, design, and development will be taken care of froma different part of the same CMS platform, meaning you don’t need to worry about breaking your website every time you want to update your customers on a new project or company update.

Unlimited Functionality

With a Content Managed Website, you will have full control over the functionality of your website.

Add blogs, latest news updates, and other content from anywhere in the world, without the additional costs of doing so through a third-party.

This lets you interact in real-time with your customers, giving you full flexibility over your marketing message and providing you with instant feedback as to how your content is being received.

The fact is that CMS really is by far the best option for almost all modern businesses, and we have no hesitation in recommending this approach to our clients.

WordPress Supremacy

At Soapbox digital media, we have vast experience trialling and managing a wide variety of different Content Managed Platforms.

The most popular of these, by far, is WordPress, and for many good reasons.

If you are looking to market your business online, we would happily recommend WordPress all day, every day.

Simply put, WordPress is the best platform for open source CMS style websites with the majority of functionality required to build high-performing websites available through the program.

Even better, pretty much any website can be built using word press on a very realistic budget, making the system suitable for all business types from start-ups to multi-national conglomerates.

When it comes to website programming, sometimes it makes sense to follow the crowd.

The WordPress program is so well-known that there is no risk of being restricted from leaving if you desire, as can be the case with a niche hand coded HTML based site.

With a CMS website built using WordPress, you are in full control of your business at all times, with no restrictions on the choices you can make regarding the content on your site.

Benefits of CMS Web Design

Usability

If you care about keeping your web pages up to date, and don’t want to have to pay a developer for the most minor of changes, a CMS platform is an absolute must.

CMS software allows multiple users to work on your website at the same time, with both content creation and web development teams able to access different sections of the site, meaning you can make changes without any risk of breaking components of the site itself. We offer both regular and component content management system (CCMS) design services to our business customers.

Streamlined Workflow

Time is money, and CMS software solutions are designed to save you both. No more waiting around for your web development company to upload a blog, simply log in and do it yourself in a matter of seconds.

Collaboration has never been easier either. Forget sending documents by email or messing around with online docs, you can save drafts directly inside your website’s document management system, allowing all relevant stakeholders to access and make changes to key pieces of content before they go live.

SEO Optimisation

Having a Google friendly website is essential to online growth, and great CMS web design is a big step in the right direction. Keywords, site speed, and sitemaps are just some of the factors that contribute to your search ranking but most people simply don’t have the time to optimise them manually.

At Soapbox we install multiple WordPress plugins as standard on all CMS websites that make your content more accessible to search engines, giving your content a better chance of being seen and setting you up for online success.

In-Built Analytics

See exactly where and when your traffic is coming from with in-built google analytics that provide highly valuable data about your target market.

Analytics can be as simple or complex as you want with anything from number of visitors to specific actions and clicks trackable via most popular CMS platforms.

Save money with CMS Web Design

At the end of the day, all these fancy features are great, but your bottom line is what matters most. Luckily CMS websites are widely considered as the most cost-effective website design option due to the exceptional amount of bang you get for your bucks.

The whole point of a CMS is to take control of your own content, taking the cost of outsourcing content management and massively improving the customer experience in a single stroke. A web content management system will save you hours of work in the years to come and give you a future proof platform to grow online.
