Content Management Systems

Generally, a content management system (CMS) is a collection of procedures used to manage work flow in a collaborative environment. These allow a number of users to contribute to and shared stored data easily, reducing duplicate input and improving communication. There are different types of content management systems including document management systems, mobile content management systems, enterprise content management systems, media content management systems, and web content management systems (WCMS).

A web CMS application creates and manages HTML (web) content, including documents and images. It facilitates the creation, editing and uploading of large and dynamic collections of Web material, without the need for technical knowledge of HTML (HyperText Markup Language- a programming language) or uploading of files (FTP protocols). The content is usually stored in a database as XML so that it can be reused and edited. The presentation layer (what the user sees on the screen) displays the content as a set of templates. While the maintenance of this system does not require technical expertise, an experienced coder is needed to set up a CMS.

Powerpage CMS

SEO Technologies Pty Ltd uses Powerpage CMS to create a scalable content management system solution. The company designed Powerpage so that the web site owner does not need any specialised web development knowledge to maintain and update your web site. Web site owners want a simple approach to updating their information on the web, without wasting time training personnel on complex web editing programs and FTP upload protocols.

The Powerpage Content Management System separates the management of the web site content from its design. So the site’s layout and appearance are stored in template files, while the content can be uploaded using a user-friendly editor (including text, photos, etc). So anyone with basic experience with a word processor will be able to navigate the editor and upload your content.
