1. Benefits of CMS

A content management system allows the client to update content on the website without the need for any IT or web development skills. Since control is in the hands of your business you can dicatate the pace and quantity of changes which are to be made.

Efficiency

• No need to call in web designers to make general content changes
• Need for a web master is minimised after initial set up
• Documents can be easily maintained and published by more than one person

Speed

• No need to refer to external resource every time a document requires changing or creating
• Skill requirements are minimised after initial installation - so no lengthy learning curve
• Content rich sites are easy to create - whole levels of complexity are removed from the user

Extended "shelf life"

• A database-driven content management approach allows a site to be improved incrementally simply by making changes to design, look & feel or structure of site templates.
• Sites can evolve over time, thereby extending their "shelf life" well beyond the typical two to three years of static sites.
• The typical shelf life of a website is somewhere between two to three years and then they are often discarded. CMS sites avoid this by separating content from presentation
• Content management allows future redesigns to your site without having to reformat existing and archived content.

Avoids the "loss of opportunity"

• Because CMS sites are easily adaptable, you can implement all the new ideas you get for your site even after it has been completed.
• Instead of waiting until the next redesign implement new ideas now.
• Easily make site-wide changes such as adding new sections, implementing extranets, or a host of other options.
