Event Details

Do you need a website, but can't figure out what tools to use? Does your current website require a major webgeek to do minor updates?  Do you spend too much time struggling to manage your website content online rather than writing it?  Leave behind the major headaches of web coding and file transfers by exploring the benefits of Content Management Systems (CMS) for the web.  We will look at:
  • What is a CMS
  • How they can help you manage web content faster and easier
  • What to ask yourself when considering a CMS for your website project
  • CMS tools and resources to get you started.

We will look at when and why a CMS is appropriate, and the steps you can take to explore your needs, and some options available to you.  We will flesh out affordable strategies for adopting CMS tools, and how to be successful for the long term.
