Content Management Solutions

Many people want to have a great web site that looks goods, works well and is easy to maintain.

Now here is the bad news.

Many people don't get the website they want or the control they need because they don't consider using a Content Management System.

A Content Management System will work for almost any design

Many web site owners think [or are told] that a content management system is not flexible enough to create a unique or expressive design.

This is a myth.

Correctly managed and developed, a Content Management System is no limit to creativity or usability.

Content Management Sytems are cost effective

A content managed web site will cost more to deliver. That is a fact. But with the abundance of robust and mature open source content management systems available, getting a content managed web site is more affordable and practical than you think.

Content Managed site are great for busy and dynamic businesses

The benefits of a content managed web site far outweigh the additional cost. Compared with a flat or bespoke solution, a content management system has no defecits, provided it is the correct soultion for the job of course.

A content management system will offer a far lower cost of ownership for business who have dynamic and volatile content. Adding new pages and editing existing ones can be done without consulting a web designer or having to learn any complicated code or techniques.

One big problem many businesses face and this is often the bane of many web designers and developers too, is getting copy approved and ready to put in the web site.

A content management system makes this really easy to manage.

Once the design is done and approved, the templates installed and tested, all the content for a web site is added directly into the content management admin console itself.

This means that designers can add content faster, users can add and amend content themselves and changes or additions to site pages, content and message can be handled quickly, efficiently, dynamically and in real time by the web site owners.

It really is that simple.

A content managed solution means you can have a simple, useful site of a few pages up and running in nt much more time than you would take to do a bespoke 10 - 12 page website but the site could easily grow to hundreds of pages in a few months.

Owning your own Content Management System

Owning your own content managed website makes sense. Whether you buy a commercial product or get a developer to use an open source solution, you can retain total control of your own web site and platform.

This means no tie in to a provider or system. No tie in to expensive or time sensitive support or maintenance contract. Just total control of your web sites.

That's fine, but how do N - Web Design  manage their web sites?

All our web sites are content managed.

We have used many different applications but we have chosen an open source solution that is robust, usable and easy to maintain.

Where the N-Cms fits into the marketplace

Our CMS solutions are based on open source applications that you 'own', in that they are freely available to use under a common licensing model.

Having this flexibility allows us to select the most appropriate option for you, based on our experience of developing in a variety of frameworks and platforms.

This also means that you are only paying us to design, skin, set-up and deploy your content managed website. We won't tie you in to any unnecessary licensing or agreements, but we are sure you will continue to work with us to manage and develop your CMS solution.

There are many commercial CMS applications, such as Alterian, Immediacy, Morello, Komodo and Sitecore. Where we differ is that we can provide or develop the same level of for a price that is affordable to most businesses.

Products such as immediacy, Alterian, Morello and Sitecore are very capable, robust and usable. Some of these applications require specialised hosting and management, complicated configuration and licensig and are not easy to apply accurate designs to. Added to a greater cost of ownership, they become outside the budget of many SME's who need a robust, reliable and effective content managed web site.

The products we choose to work with on our content management projects are smaller, less resource-hungry and will run on most hosting accounts. They are all capable of matching the size and content promises of most of the big commercial applications, but at a fraction of the cost.

This doesn't mean we compromise on quality or performance. We base our recommendations on the most mature and respected application frameworks that are available.
