Content Management

Take Control of Your Website

The primary purpose of a Content Management System (CMS) is to enable you to make changes to your website without assistance from a 3rd party or internal technical resource. A CMS simplifies the process of making changes to content areas of the site such as news, vacancies or your client list. A CMS can bring a range of benefits to your organisation;

• Enables business users to publish their own content without need for technicians, freeing technical staff to concentrate on core activities
• Reduces costs involved in updating content by creating more efficient, automated processes
• Enables organisations to increase the frequency of content changes
• Helps maintain standardised design and branding across an organisation's web presence

Once the basic site structure and design is in place, standard templates allow existing content to be edited and new content to be created whilst keeping the overall look and feel under control.

A good Content Management System requires minimal training and no specialist web-coding knowledge. All changes can be made through a normal web browser interface. This means that no extra software is required to be installed on PCs.

Content management systems vary in complexity, functionality and cost. Livewire takes time to first understand our customer's business needs today, anticipate future needs and balance these against the available budget. We then implement and support the appropriate technology.
