Why get a content management system?

The majority of the sites we create here at ID are built using one of our very own content management systems. Take a look at the benefits to see if it would help your website...

Manage your own content
A key benefit of a CMS is that you are in control of your content and updates. There's no need to go back to your developer everytime you want to post a news item, or update some details. The ID content management systems are all web based as well, allowing you to update them from anywhere you can access the internet - and with no need to download any tricky applications.

Cost saving and efficiency
While the initial cost may be more than that of an html site the cost saving benefits of a CMS far outweigh that. By having control over your own content updates there is no need for costly developer input whenever you need to make a change. By cutting out a third party for content updates you're also adding to the speed and efficiency with which you can update...no need for out of date information to sit on your site for months!

Keep it fresh
Site visitors hate to see out of date content and old, invalid information. Keeping your content fresh and news - even by simply updating your news pages - shows visitors that your company is constantly evolving.

No need to be a technical whizz kid
Absolutely no programming skills are required to find your way around the CMS. It is easy to log in, navigate to the area you want to update and use a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You GET) to update your content. If you can use Word then using the ID CMS is simple!

Search engine friendly
Getting your website found is key to a site's success. All of our CMS's are built to include simple SEO tools, allowing you to make a start on optimisation (of course, if you want something even more in depth we can help you out with that as well!)

Fancy having a go on our CMS and seeing just how easy it is? Get in touch and we'll set you up a demo.
