A Content Management System for Australian Small Business Websites
If your small business website requires frequent updates to prices, stock levels, special promotions or other time sensitive information you'll probably need an effective content management system.
A content management system is an interface that allows non-techies to maintain current website information without the need to retain the services of a web designer or webmaster.
There are literally dozens of "off-the-shelf" content management systems available. Most are unreliable and nearly all of them are overly complex for the average small business seeking a simple effective website.
The most appropriate solution I've found is Wordpress. Wordpress is a free blogging platform that can act as a content management system.
