Do you need content management?

Want the freedom and power to easily make changes to your web site without having to pay a web designer? Then you need a content management system.

When a web designer puts a new site live, it's the start of a beautiful new relationship. And by beautiful, I mean profitable. And by profitable, and I mean profitable for your web designer.

Every time you spot a typo, get a new product, revamp a page to get better search engine ranking, or otherwise decide to add something to your site – your web designer counts his or her blessings.

Sometimes a client is perfectly happy to have me make changes to their site. That's fine, and this article isn't for them.

This article is for anyone who wants to gain control of their website's content, without having to learn anything about HTML, CSS, JavaScript, MySQL or PHP.

Interested in content management? I have a wonderful CMS. It's easy to use, and it could save you £1,000 or more per year.
