You already have a website, but is it working?

Maybe it’s time to consider a Content Management System

The Problem

You have a website. It has grown over time and while it is very useful, it is far from perfect. Much of the content is out-of-date or inaccurate; it’s hard to find what you are looking for; updating the site is complicated and time consuming and the appearance is becoming dated.

You’ve lost count of all the pages on the site, and by having all the changes made by your skilled webmaster, the updates are piling up on their desk and not being attended to. What was on the site last week, or last year? You probably couldn’t say. In the back of your mind, you know that this could leave you in a difficult position if a customer has an issue over a product he bought only 6 months ago, but it seems there may be little that you can do.

If this sounds dire, you are not alone. In fact, it’s the general outcome of maintaining a site using manual tools such as Dreamweaver or Frontpage. Thankfully, these problems are what a Content Management System (CMS) is specifically designed to solve.
