Are you a corporation or small business with an ongoing need to update your website with new content, pages and/or photography? Historically, the responsibility to update the company website would require the technical or design experience of a website designer or web programmer in addition to the necessary website design related software programs.
However, a skilled website designer and/or programmer may still be needed to either help with the original, custom website design or if items are outside the normal scope of website requirements.
What is a Content Management System (CMS)?
Technically, when we refer to a Content Management Systems (CMS) we intend to mean a Web Content Management Systems (WCMS). The "web" part is a normal assumption in our labeling and identification as we are a full service Dallas Web Development Company.
Basically, if the objective is to simplify the creation and updating of website related items (pages, content, photography, etc.) without the need of website editing software or website design experience. Click here to read a full technical Wikipedia description.
Ideally, if the need to self maintain a website is discussed in the website architecture planning (i.e., prior to the development of the website); then it is easier to configure a Content Management System (CMS) into the original website design.
Is this Website Content Management software?
No, this is not website content management software for sale. You do not need to purchase any software or pay for any ongoing software licensing fees. Although content management software is commonly sold on the Internet, trade shows, vendors, etc. and is readily available for purchase; selling website content management software approach for offering the ability to self maintain a website because you are always tied to the software and there will always be paid upgrades or "new" software releases for purchase.
Is our Content Management Systems a Website Hosted Solution?
No, our Content Management Systems are not hosted applications or web hosting solutions. This is extremly important question. To further clarify, our website content management systems are not dependent upon RGB Interactive being the website hosting provider for your website. Some web site hosting services provide free, heavily discounted or higher than industry standard web hosting to include your website content management solution.
Here is a dead give-a-way, if a website content management solution is included with a cheap web hosting cost (i.e., less than $25/month), then 9/10 times the website content management solution is not transferrable if you leave your web hosting company!
There is nothing wrong with a receiving a hosted website content management solution as long as you are understand the impact (and options) that you will have to deal with later whether the content management system is easily transferrable or not to another website hosting provier. Additionally, if the website content management system is transferrable to a different web hosting company, it is extremely important to understand that not all web hosting providers may be able to support your pre-existing website content management system!
Hypothetically, if any web hosting provider has to pay for a subscription to support your existing content management solution, perform complex installations/configuration, and/or if the content management system is written in a proprietary website programming language, etc. then you are greatly decreasing web hosting options if you are transferring an existing content management system.
