Minneapolis Content Management System Development
Have you ever heard the term "Web 2.0" and wondered what the heck it means? Originally, web sites were static pages of content that sat on the internet for viewers to come and read. Over time, as more and more people started to to use the internet for an increasingly diverse amount of tasks, viewers needed a more dynamic way to browse the web. Enter Web 2.0. The goal of Web 2.0 websites is to present visitors with a more interactive way of browsing the web. You've probably seen sites all over the internet that allow you to upload and manipulate data, or places like Wikipedia where you can directly edit content on pages. Content Management Systems (CMS) provide an easy and affordable way of creating sites with these modern features.
Custom Content Management Systems
There are a wide variety of content management systems available ranging from simple to extremely complex. We have worked with many of these CMS and can help you identify the proper sofware to meet your needs. Two particular CMS we focus on are Joomla! and Wordpress.
Joomla!
Joomla! is one of the most dynamic CMS applications available. It comes standard with a variety of amazing features that allow you to do anything from creating your own dynamic menus to adding a user poll to your site. The best part is there are hundreds of Plugins available online that you can upload yourself and have running on your site in minutes. Options ranging from software for realtors to auto classifieds are available and can be easily implemented. Joomla! also comes standard with a complete back-end administration area that allows you to: add, edit or delete any content on your website, add new items to your navigation, upload and implement plugins with just a couple clicks of the mouse, track visits to your site, assign user permissions, and much much more. We highly recommend Joomla! for anyone who wants to take control of their website. Check out an example of a Joomla site we've developed in action:
Wordpress
You may or may not have heard of Wordpress. Designed as a tool for creating blogs online, the ease of use and open source nature of Wordpress has transformed it into a dynamic CMS choice. Wordpress can be easily implemented into an existing website, or a new custom design. There are hundreds of free plugins available for Wordpress, and the software is very user friendly. If you are looking for a lightweight way to manage the content on your site, we can recommend a wordpress solution for you.
