The Software is the Key
We install CMS - content managed system - software. CMS software can be thought of like Microsoft Office - a collection of software with each carrying out a specific task. Word, Excel, Publisher, Outlook etc all work from one platform. Each item of software is as simple or as complex as the individual wishes and learning new things can be intensive, through a training course or over time as you use the software. The CMS system is exactly the same but is more simple and specific in its functions.
Each of the features contained within the CMS can be individually configured and turned off or on as required. These features can be available to the end user, to a specific group of users or only to the administrators. Features could include;
- Registration
- Mass e-mail
- Weather
- Forms
- Contact pages
- E-commerce
- Newsflash
- Polls
- Pictures
- Feedback
- Videos
- External links
- Site maps
- Google ads
- Classified Ads
- Reservations
- Calenders
- Games
- Forums
- Chat rooms
The list of features is endless and would bemuse even the most hardy - the point of features is to add interest, interactivity and to give people a reason to register, interact and of course buy from you.
