A Content Management System (CMS) is a Web-based tool that makes it easy to change and manage the web copy, imagery, and layout of your website using a Web-based backend. Easy – meaning you no longer have to worry about managing multiple versions of HTML/ Dreamweaver templates (remember those?), since everything’s stored online.
Lakeshore Branding leverages the power of two 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.
Why open-source? It’s all a matter of opportunity: for lower costs, greater flexibility, better reliability, improved security, smoother collaboration, and more 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 continues to develop unique, sophisticated website, 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 e-Commerce 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.
