Content Management Systems (CMS)

Content Management Systems (CMS) are gaining popularity for websites that contain a large variety of information that needs frequent updating. It helps distribute the work load across more people and can help to avoid the inevitable “bottleneck” when all changes have to go through one individual.

The CMS option does come with some tradeoffs. There may be security concerns. These should be addressed with your developer so all possible precautions can be taken. In addition, the more people that have access to the website, the higher the risk that something will end up published with errors or inaccuracies. People responsible for the updates should be trained to do so and should be well-aware of the goals of the website.
