Who should use a CMS?
A content management system, or CMS, can take away the difficulty of updating complex websites putting the control of the site content in your hands and the design elements such as layout and style with the designers, just how the symbiotic relationship should be.
Let's be honest, good design doesn't come cheap or is easily taught. It's something years of training and commercial experience a good designer takes for granted. Someone who's been there, done it and got the portfolio to prove it.

Why lose all that experience and skill in your website when you hand over control of the content to users who don't share that skill? In our experience, many other CMS applications offer either too much control, which allows inexperienced users the ability to choose the wrong colours or layout styles when managing web content and thus reducing the quality of the brand you've spent so much money on creating, or too little, where even the smallest of textual change is not enough to satisfy your requirements.

It's a hard balance to keep, we're not saying we've got it right either, but what we have developed is a solution where the design and content management of the site can grow as you experience grows with it or your design requirements change.



Whether your designers are "in-house" or "out sourced", our CMS Toolkit puts the designer in control of the design and the user in control of the content. It's up to the design to specify how much control a user has over the development of the editable regions in the site, and the client on how much control they give the users to manage that content.

It doesn't matter what size business or website you require, our CMS is flexible enough to use with one person or 50 people, whether we're you're designer or not, we can cater for you.
See some real examples in action
Network75, an example of a client using the CMS for multiple sites.
Network75
is a parent company for many different arms of it's business. Using our CMS, they are able to update multiple websites from one location.

Using our flexible toolkit, the design of their site was easily wrapped around the CMS features.

Notice also on their homepage, the ability to sign-up up to a newsletter. The submission email address is hidden and a CAPTCHA featured added to prevent spam bots from faking submissions or stealing information.


Welsh Gymnastics, large content managed website
Welsh Gymnastics
uses over a 100 templates and produces 250+ publish pages. It is an example of how our CMS can be used for larger websites.

Each main section of the website is split into separate navigational areas. A range of staff are assigned to maintain the section to which they have been given access to. By using the content authoring and version control features of the CMS, they are able to "check-out" pages, make alterations, "check-in" the pages where a publisher can then approve or reject the changes before being published live. Read more about version control and content authoring.


Webfibre.net, our own website is content managed using our CMS.
Our own website
is a good example of a standard site set-up using our CMS.

The navigation across the top of the page is automatically updated whenever we add a new page or section using a "main" navigation structure rather than splitting the sections of the site over multiple navigations, as we do for larger sites.

We also use the CMS to manage our technical support area, internal staff bulletins and micro-sites.
