Content Management Systems

A Content Management System (CMS) is a web based tool that makes it easy to make changes to web copy, imagery and layout to your website on a web based backend. You no longer have to worry about managing multiple versions of HTML/ Dreamweaver templates- It’s stored all online.

Lakeshore Branding leverages the power of several open source content management systems that have been designed to create, edit, manage, control, and store all the materials you’ll be using for your website. Our recommended systems make the complex a lot simpler and the Internet a lot friendlier.

As to why we work with open source CMS is a matter of opportunity: for lower costs, greater agility, better reliability, improved security, greater collaboration, and increased innovation. Because more developers and more programmers can work on open source projects – compared to the limited few who create proprietary software – the possibilities become limitless. With open source, Lakeshore Branding can continue to develop unique, flawless websites, the kind you thought was too technical – or too expensive – to have yourself.

WordPress

One of our favorite content management systems is WordPress, a free open source publishing platform that has grown and evolved dramatically through plug-ins, widgets, themes, and even eCommerce carts. WordPress provides plenty of custom solutions for your website, and with Lakeshore Branding’s expertise in this acclaimed platform, you can make anything happen.

Magento Commerce

This versatile enterprise level e-commerce content management system will take your business to the next level. Magento is a powerful, full-featured eCommerce solution that has revolutionized the whole eCommerce industry. Often dubbed as the “eCommerce platform for growth”, Magento has been downloaded over 1.5 million times, and used by more than 30,000 merchants in transactions that total over $25 billion.

Joomla

Joomla is another award-winning content management system in which Lakeshore Branding has valuable expertise. Popular for its ease of use and extensibility, Joomla is written in PHP, stores data in MySQL, and includes features such as RSS feeds, printable versions of pages, news flashes, blogs, polls, search, and support for language internationalization.

Drupal

As one of today’s leading content management systems, Drupal is used as a back-end platform for all kinds and sizes of websites, including blogs, corporate and political websites, Intranet applications, community-driven Web portals, resource directories, and social networking sites. Drupal blends powerful features that make it one of Lakeshore Branding’s recommended CMS.
