I have a new CMS to offer my clients. CMS stands for "Content Management System". It allows the owner of the website to edit the content of their own website without any special programs or html knowledge. The client will access the CMS through an Internet browser using any Internet connection. This is great if you are on a trip and need to make a change on your website. No need to contact me, hire someone else to make the change, and you don't even need to be on a certain computer. If you have an Internet connection and an Internet browser, you can change your website content. The CMS has a WYSIWYG editor format. WYSIWYG stands for "what you see is what you get". The way the page looks in the editor is the way it will look in on the web page. I have offered an editor to my clients since I started doing web design. I like empowering my clients to take charge of their own site, making them less dependant on me and giving them control of their own site. It also saves them tons of money in maintenance fees.

New features included in the new CMS are:
multiple admin access
built in login
multiple users
multiple group options, this allows you to give special access to certain groups
built in calendar calendar (can be setup to only be accessed by certain groups)
stores old copies of pages, easy to revert back to old version if a mistake is made
random fortune (can be used for client quotes, etc)
multiple templates

The old CMS can be upgraded to the CMS for those of you who already have the CMS installed. The charge for an upgrade is $75. If you would like to have a CMS installed for your site, please contact me for a quote.
