The engine of a modern website is the content management system (CMS). Content management software includes tools for file management as well as for editing text and pictures, thus making it easy for the owners to add, edit and manage the content.
The fastest and cheapest way to create a web solution is to make use of a system with an open source code. DT has thorough experience with several freeware CMS-s and we are able to choose for our client the web software that best suits their needs.
Three main reasons why to choose freeware or open-source website platform:
Speed – web solution is completed quickly, usually within 1 to 2 weeks.
Independence – the best freeware CMS-s are developed by global teams; this guarantees quality and constant fast development. Management and development of such a system can easily be taken over by another quality developer and the client would not be forcibly bound to the purveyor (DT).
Profitable and transparent price – development of the solution does not entail any hidden or additional costs (licenses) on the client.
Since every company has specific needs, it is often necessary or advisable to upgrade and develop the content management software. We have tested several systems and have filtered out the few on the basis on which we can create a web solution supporting our client’s unique business needs.
A worthy content management software should always include the following possibilities.
Clear and simple structure formation: creation, free rearrangement, hiding and forwarding of topics.
Possibility to easily add pictures and change their size, create and manage picture galleries.
Editors with different rights, limiting access to selected sections (possibility to create intra- and extranets).
Quick editing straight from the web page, fully functional WYSIWYG-editor (What You See Is What You Get – a text editor similar to Word that opens in the browser).
Support in different languages.
Visitor statistics.
Examples of additional applications that can be added to the core features: event calendar, online booking system, e-shop with a bank link and card payment options, etc.
