How to plan a website

A Web Content Management System (WCMS or Web CMS) is a system for creating and managing website content and pages. A worthy CMS will contain tools to create, edit and delete content on a website and there will be a series of simple tools to allow non technical users to create web content in a familiar, word processor type environment.

Manage your own website

The use of a website content management system allows for simple management of large scale web sites by non technical users. In essence, it is still creating all the required HTML needed to display the web content but the technical aspects of this are abstracted.

The site would usually be managed through a private administration panel which is accessible through a web browser so no special skills are required.

"Hard to set up but easy to grow"

If there is one rule that is true of even the most simple content management systems is that they are easy to use but not so easy to set up and configure in the first instance. The installation, set-up and development and application of a design is still in the realms of web professionals but once these initial stages are completed then the day-to-day management and running of the site can be handled by non technical users.

What are your options?

As you may well imagine, there are a whole host of WCMS systems all vying for your attention and there no single system that is perfect for the needs of all. There a range of free and open source CMS systems that  are extremely capable and additionally there a whole host of propriety (paid) solutions if that is the route you would rather go. There are also PHP and ASP solutions available to suit your web hosting platform of choice.
