Content Management Systems - Complete control over your web site :)
Add or update anytime
When web site owners are asked whether they want a content management system (CMS) they worry about two things...
- The cost!
- Am I going to be left to update my web site all on my own?
Don't worry...
With a Matter Solutions content management system you can rest assured that your solution is cost effective for your requirements.
You can also relax about support. We're always here to help and your CMS actually makes it easier for us (or anyone else you authorise) to update your site for you.
Clearly it's cheaper for you to update your site yourself, but should you need us to do it for you now and again or even regularly your CMS will actually reduce the charges we need to make.
Typical solutions
Companies often come to us with existing web sites that are growing and the cost of adding more content doesn't ever seem to decline, there is no advantage from scale. These clever clients also realise that static sites just make it more and more expensive to change the design of a web site as it grows.
There is actually a size at which it becomes more cost effective to put in a CMS during a web site re-design. Clearly this size point depends on the cost of the CMS and the size/complexity of the existing site but it is important to remember.
Basic CMS - Open source
There are various FREE, yes FREE, open source content management systems. They're free as in you can have them and use them for free but there are charges for building, configuring and if necessary customising them.
There are a few security issues associated with using any of the most popular open source content management systems BUT we are able to offer you a service to keep the security up to date*.
Custom CMS - Manage data the way you want it
Over the year Matter Solutions have produced a number of very effective content management systems for clients in all sorts of industries.
Each of the following example links open in a new window, so you can close their site to return here...
- Te Papa Films - An independent film company in the UK. We recently moved their entire web site into one of our very own CMS systems without changing the design at all. This was done very cost effectively.
- White Light - A leading lighting design firm. Their bespoke CMS delivers everything from a product knowledge-base and staff profiles through to project portfolios.
- ACRISS - The European Economic Interest Grouping of the Car Rental Industry. Their simple, yet custom, CMS enables them to edit almost every single page in their web site.
- Archipeleco - Consultant architects specialising in Ecological design. The small CMS enables them to manage their project portfolio.
- Property for Life - Property investment consultancy. They actually have multiple small CMS platforms which enable their staff to edit defined sections of the site, from News Coverage to Case Studies.
We have created many more CMS systems for clients to have the freedom to manage their own web sites as often as they wish.
