Content management system (CMS) websites use predesigned templates as the foundation for site development. Because CMS sites are not designed from scratch, you can save time and money on interactive sites with multiple features by significantly decreasing the development time.
Why You Need a Database
The CMS websites we develop include a MySQL database, allowing you to store and retrieve visitor data. This is necessary for online and direct marketing.
Databases are also necessary to search site content, use polls, integrate social networking, and so on.
Other CMS Benefits
CMS websites also provide the following benefits:
- Save additional time and development costs because CMS websites use non-proprietary, predesigned templates, so you rarely have to purchase extra software or upgrades.
- Separate the content from the site template, allowing any authorized users to update, write, and edit content while preserving the site structure.
- Provide multi-user access and permissions, allowing you to assign "authorized levels of access" to anyone in your organization to collaborate in site development and content management.
- Include built-in Search Engine Optimization (SEO) tools, which help to push your site higher in search engines.
- Allow you to use open-source templates designed by global developers.
- Use the latest open-sourced technologies available, for example, PHP, MySQL, XML, CSS, and XHTML.
- Enable you to integrate extensions (or applications) to enhance site functionality. New extensions and application upgrades are constantly being made available for public use.
- Allow you to customize your site for your organization, including e-commerce, blogging, informational, and intranet sites.
