Don’t forget to check out the movie I’ve added next to this post. It shows you how the Content Management System (CMS) for this site works.

With a CMS, you can easily edit your site. You don’t need to know complicated codes and you don’t need to be a programmer.

Knowing your way around a word processor (like Word) can help, but it is no requirement either.

The possibilities with a CMS are virtually limitless. I offer these for almost every site I create:

• Adding and editing pages and changing their positions in your menu.
• Adding texts or images to a page.
• Managing images.

I usually develop these systems with SilverStripe, which is really flexible.

Some sites are really advanced or have very specific requirements. For those, a different software package can be used. Or I can provide a completely tailor-made solution.

By using a CMS, you can publish new content on a regular basis. This has quite a few advantages:

• Google checks how often your site is updated. A site with more updates will get higher positions in Google.
• There’s more to it than just the amount of updates you do. Every article you post brings new keywords to your site. These keywords all represent potential visitors.
• It’s not just Google who follows the updates on your site. Turn occasional visitors into regular readers by continually offering new and relevant information.

Using a CMS, you can decide how and when you edit your site. It will become a lot more valuable and you’ll be able to take more strategic decisions.
