Content Management System

Goodness me! I *have* been busy!

We now have a dev section, powered by a content management system (CMS) and I would like to take a few moments to explain what that means:

With CMS, someone with no knowledge of HTML can make web-pages that display content from a database.
Using CMS, content can be easily added, replaced,or referenced from existing HTML sites.

Here is a real world example:

An estate agency keeps a database of properties. As new properties become available, the agent uses a web browser to visit the CMS site and upload photographs and information about the property. No knowledge of HTML is required, everything is done using a familiar interface that resembles a word processor.
This way, the agent can quickly add or update information without the need to know anything technical.
Using a CMS is also advantageous to the host, as the client site can maintain itself, lowering admin fees.

Pricing for individual hosting packages is still being finalised. However, it is likely to be around £2.99/month


Of course this is justthe tip of the iceberg. CMS is capable of so much more. If you would likto gain more understanding, further reading of the following topics is encouraged:
