Website

A Content Management System, or CMS, is the organisational tool which controls content for a website. Off-the-shelf Content Management can be more cost-effective for the initial setup of a website. However, it can also limit design and scope for future development.

To understand the difference in value between bespoke and off-the-shelf CMS is the difference between a business having a website which works or one which needs a rebuild in six months time.

Whilst a off the shelf CMS may appear cheaper in the short term, this often can be a false economy. Off the shelf CMS' by their very nature would have been developed over a period of time. In order to recoup this development cost the same system would need to be resold time and time again. website programming technology and website accessibility advances at such an exponential rate that it conceivable that by the release of an off the shelf content management system, it may be using inappropriate technology already by the time it is released.

DUSZA will thoroughly research your needs through our website scoping procedure, including whether or not having a CMS would be of financial benefit. If your website rarely requires updating, supplying DUSZA the information to update could be more efficient and cost-effective - and there would be no need to purchase a CMS at all.

However, if your business relies on keeping your clients updated with new information (or updates become more frequent), a CMS would prove invaluable. We also take into consideration that editing and updating content can increase your rankings with search engines such as Google, so, if this is important, a CMS might be recommended.
