Content Management Systems
The simplest and most efficient way to publish content on your website or intranet is through a Content Management System (CMS). A CMS can standardise the look, size and format of all company content. A wide range of content can be published using a CMS, such as:
- simple pages
- complex pages, with specific layout and presentation
- dynamic information sourced from databases, etc
- training materials
- online manuals (policy & procedures, HR, etc)
- general business documents
- thousands of pages in total
- extensive linking between pages
The full lifecycle of a CMS, from initially creating the content through to delivering it to end-users, involves: content creation, content management and publishing.
A CMS will allow you to publish content automatically by taking the content stored in the repository and then generating the final pages. Whether this be a dynamic or batch process, the same basic requirements apply.
The final appearance of the pages can be controlled through the use of stylesheets. This provides flexibility and expandability. Overall page layout is specified via page templates. Ideally, a non-technical interface should be provided for managing this.
