You have a website, or intranet. It has grown over time and while it is very useful, it is far from perfect. Much of the content may be out of date or inaccurate, it's hard to find things, updating the site is complex and the appearance is becoming dated. Worse yet you are dependent on a technically skilled web man to accurately make changes and updates you request! If this sounds familiar, you are not alone. In fact, it's the natural by-product of maintaining a static site using tools such as Dreamweaver, GoLive or Frontpage.

Thankfully, these problems are what a content management system is specifically designed to solve. A content management system (CMS) supports the creation, management, distribution, publishing and discovery of corporate information. It covers the complete lifecycle of the pages on your site, from providing simple tools to create the content, through to publishing and finally to archiving. It also provides the ability to manage the structure of the site, the appearance of the published pages and the navigation provided to the users.

Some of the benefits from using content management systems include:
streamlined authoring process
- Faster turnaround time for new pages and changes
- Greater consistency
- Improved site navigation
- Increased site flexibility
- Support for decentralised authoring
- Increased security
- Reduced duplication of information
- Greater capacity for growth
- Reduced site maintenance costs

Thornmead Associates have experience of several web based content management systems and we would be pleased to discuss your requirements with you.
