Do I Need a Content Management System?

Website publishing options

Implementing a Content Management System has cost implications, so what are the options?

Do you really need to manage your own website content? In some cases the answer may be no.

When do I NOT need a CMS?

Static Content

If the content on the site does not require regular updating (ie: every month), except for perhaps a news page, then we will advise on a more cost-effective solution. Implementing a system to effect minor content changes to single pages is a more simple solution.

Small website

If your planned website is less than eg: 20 pages it may be more cost-effective to simply instruct 4W to make the desired changes direct to the HTML files as and when required. Our rates are not expensive and our minimum chargeable time is only 15 minutes.

Small budget!

Licensing fees, template integration and CMS configuration work all add to the cost of producting a website so budget accordingly. For guidelines on costs please contact us.

Other Content Management Systems

We can work with the following systems and will recommend the most suitable based on the project requirements:
