How to Choose the Best Web Content Management

Services

By M Goudelock

If you run a firm, even if it's just a small company, but your website consists of more than a dozen pages,

don't you want to find a way to properly maintain it and update its content? Because there has to be a

much better way than to individually coding the content through HTML. Not only is it time consuming,

but it also requires a lot of effort to whoever is tasked to do the updates. For this reason, it is important

that you choose the best one among the many web content management services that can help you

with your online requirements.

What are the things that you should look for in a content management system or CMS? This is the

software that a web content firm will be offering to you so you can easily update your web pages,

without the need to hire a web developer each time new content has to go online. There are a few

factors you should consider and the most common ones are the following:

1. Ease of use

What good is a content management system that is not intuitive and requires too much training for

anybody to use it? The whole system has to be easily understandable that someone who is not highly

technical in terms of web technologies can easily put up new content on your website.

2. Support

Does the web content management services that you choose offers good support? And for how long?

You know that technology gets updated very fast and you surely don't want to be owning a piece of

software or system that is already obsolete two or three years from now. That is why support is highly

important.

3. Cost

Definitely price is a major factor. Unless you have unlimited cash or resources, but like most firms, you

don't have that luxury. There are a lot of price points that you can consider that can match your content

management requirements. But remember the old saying, you get what you pay for. Just consider this

venture as a necessary investment on your part.

4. Compatibility with current web standards

If you are not knowledgeable enough to tackle issues that refer to web standards, then find someone

who can help you understand them. This is because you must know if the content management system

you will be purchasing strictly adheres to such standards. This is important because it will result to

greater website usability and ease of use on your part.

5. Turn over period

You have your deadline. You know that your website's readers will not tolerate a site that is constantly

under repair due to the implementation of a new system from your web content management services

firm. You certainly do not want to lose a considerable chunk of your audience. Therefore it is important

that you have a clear understanding of when the whole content management system will be fully ready.

This is also to give you enough time to fix any bugs in the system should something like those arise.

envisage CMS is a fully feature packed CMS, designed to be a true WYSIWYG website editor.

The content management software is accessed via any browser, wherever you are in the world, allowing

you to manage your website with no technical knowledge of HTML or any other languages.
