Content Management System

A Content Management System (CMS) gives Web site operators the capacity to update and manage their content. Content can swiftly be updated, allowing businesses to communicate in an efficient and timely manner. Web site visitors like to see fresh and relevant content when they browse the Web, so having fresh content can give companies a distinct competitive advantage online.

Content Management System Options

Avatar typically chooses between three popular content management options. Each system has attributes that will determine the type that is selected for your Web project.

  • Joomla! - A popular option for managing large volumes of Web site content and is highly extensible with comprehensive community building features.
  • WordPress - A smaller and easier to use CMS with excellent blogging functionality.
  • Dreamweaver Contribute - Not strictly a CMS, this is software you install on your computer.

CMS' offer a range of features and benefits suitable for a wide range of Web sites.
