It is important that websites are keep up to date with current web design and development trends. When a user visits a website they pass judgment very quickly about the company based on the quality of the design and development of the site.
Current Web Development Trends
Some trends that are currently very popular in websites include:
- CMS (Content Management Systems)-This enables you easily edit the content within your website yourself without the need for any coding knowledge. This is very important to ensure the users continue to visit your site. If you do not regularly update the content of you site then visitors will visit once, see what is on your site and then never come back. You need to provide something that is interesting and different to give them a good reason to continue to visit your site. There is now a large number of CMS systems available to ensure that you get exactly the right type of system to best suit your companies needs.
- E-commerce-Gone are the days when people drive down to the shops to purchase items. The market is shifting very quickly and most people now much prefer to purchase items on the internet, in the comfort and convince of their own home. If you company sell any products it is important that you incorporate an e-commence/shopping cart functionality into your website to enable you to sell goods and services on the internet. The main problem the users find with e-commerce sites is that they are reluctant to trust the unknown security of using their credit card online. It is important that you use a system that is secure and well trusted to ensure that the user feels safe purchasing your product.

CMS Capabilities
Web Content Management Systems (WCMS) allow for a dynamic control over various web material, facilitating auditing, editing and timeline management. A typical CMS will create standard output templates that can be automatically applied to new and existing content. This allows all content to be changed from one central place. These systems will also separate content from the visual aspect of the site, making it easier to change and manipulate.
Content management systems can also allow for workflow management by creating cycles of sequential and parallel tasks controlled by the CMS. So one person can create content but not publish it until another has revised it and approved it. The system can be set to provide limited access to various users, delegating the responsibility for content management. CMS software can also provide content visualisation so that each user can work within a virtual copty of the entire site, so changes to multiple interdependent resources can be viewed in-context prior to being uploaded.
Web CMS
SEO Technologies’ PowerPage content management system saves web site owners time and money by providing a simple system for updating your web content. Rather than training personnel in FTP protocols, programming and markup languages, PowerPage allows anyone with basic experience in using a word processor to create, edit and update web content.
The Microsoft Word style interface features many of the same functions as Word, including Bold, Italic, Underline, Spell Checking, Hyperlink Creation, Table Editor and Font Size. Existing text and images can be copied and pasted from Microsoft Office documents or existing web pages. It also allows for the easy public posting of pdf files, documents, photos and other materials – without using an FTP client software package.
Furthermore, PowerPage CMS has a multi-level security system that is both flexible and effective. It not only has a password allocation for users responsible for editing your stie, but also a system that restricts access to only the content they are responsible for, thereby protecting the integrity of your web content.

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.
