Content Management Systems
Why a Content Management System website? CMS websites allow the site owner to make content changes using any modern web browser. This CMS feature is invaluable for websites that require frequent updates. Interactivity and the ability for registered site users to contribute content are also useful features that are available in CMS sites. There are literally hundreds of Content Management Systems available to the design community today. Three of these stand out above the rest because of their versatility and proven track record. WordPress is the largest CMS followed by Drupal and Joomla. Any of these are excellent choices for designing websites… our platforms of choice are Drupal & WordPress.
About WordPress
WordPress is an open source design & development environment that originally started as a blogging platform and has since evolved into a full featured Content Management System. WordPress is the largest Content Management System on the planet and enjoys a support level not readily available in other CMS’s. At Highlands-Cashiers Website Design, most of our CMS website design is done with WordPress for this reason. The excellent WordPress user interface and the availability of a vast number of tested and proven plug-ins make WordPress an easy first-choice for our less complex design & development work.
About Drupal & Drupal Commerce
Drupal is a very robust open source CMS platform that is well suited to more complex website designs. Drupal offers more design flexibility & improved functionality but it involves a much steeper learning curve than WordPress for the designer/developer. Drupal Commerce was developed by Commerce Guys using the standard Drupal platform as a basis & offers a very sophisticated e-commerce solution including tax calculation, shipping fees, order processing, inventory control & customer information records. Visit Blue Ridge Parkway Photography or Highlands Photography to experience the power of Drupal Commerce websites.
The vast array of contributed Drupal modules along with an excellent support network make Drupal & Drupal Commerce very attractive Content Management System platforms.
