Here at Digital Voodoo, we just love Content Management Systems (CMS) for their ability to empower the client long after we leave the scene of the crime. In days of yore, clients used to have to call web developers whenever they needed content amended, removed or added. With CMS, the client is able to keep their own website updated via a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) word-processor like interface, without the need to have any technical knowledge and knowhow. With a little training, some of our clients have made massive strides in internal data management and ensuring the ability and capacity to perform updates exists in house.
Our use of CMS is also informed by a pivotal pillar of the Digital Voodoo ethos - the use of Open Source and Collaborative Applications. We believe in the benefits of harnessing open source and collaborative technologies to reduce development and support costs. These savings translate directly to our being highly competitive in our pricing unless bespoke systems are called for.
CMS handles the database, look and feel and articles within a website and assists immensely in rapid, cost-effective deployment.
