Why use Content Management?

The answer is really quite simple...because you take control of your own Internet destiny.

Sounds a little dramatic and maybe a little daunting as what do you know about web sites and all that. You may also want somebody else to do it anyway so where is the advantage? Well there are many benefits to taking the content management route.

Site development lead times are dramatically reduced: be it the initial builidng of your site or regular updates, the process no longer has to rely on an expnsive web designer to be available to complete the job.
Requires average IT skills to manage the site: you can literally start editing your site pages within 5 minutes and fully manage the site after a few hours. A good content manager will make the process easy and efficient.
Content Management enables you to do more for less effort: because content management creates the site pages dynamically it offers the possibility of lots of time saving and clever features to enhance your site with little effort to yourself. Self-updating news lists is one such feature where the story can appear and disappear on dates set by you.
Your site can be updated by a Team: because the manager is online, the possibility of employing a team of content editors becomes a reality. Combine this with the added advantage of not having to install expensive editing software on each editor's computer and you having a winning solution.
You are buying into a Technology Pool: content managers are under constant development. As the Internet develops and new techniques and buz technologies appear, a good manager will respond and give you access to all these 'useful' things.
Known costs: content management simplifies your site costs and often reduces those that remain. 1 template can server 1000 pages and your site manager needn't be a high-flying technology geek.
