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.

WordPress: A User Friendly Content Management System

A custom installation of Wordpress is the ideal content management system for small business websites.

Easy intuitive content management interface cuts down the learning curve.

Search engine friendly page structure and output. The core of Wordpress is a blogging platform so RSS feeds are built in. Users can build pages and make regular posts as news for an easy boost to search ranking.

System wide changes to layout look and feel are simple with selection of themes and editing of stylesheets.

See an example of Wordpress at this Lismore play centre site.

I can provide custom installations of Wordpress after assessment of  your exact web design needs.
