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.
