Managed CMS - 4 Thoughts on Using a Designer and a CMS

The great promise of content management systems is that they take power from the hands of Web designers and put it back in the hands of the landowners, and everyday users. As designers used to charge hefty fees for making simple changes that power has been very seductively over the last few years and many companies are CMS websites, so they are empowered to make changes whenever they want. But in the past year or two that are starting to be a shift back toward the designer made changes. Discover the four reasons to have a managed CMS website.

Be able to make changes right away: The biggest reason why content management system used to be able to make changes easily, without being forced to change any of the underlying code on a website. It allows an ordinary user to make changes quickly and easily without worrying about how everything should be formatted. The second reason for a content management system is that designers are often busy with other customers so they can not make the changes requested as quickly as necessary. The owner of a CMS website, you can just log in and make the change. Even with a controlled site, it's still nice to be able to make changes immediately.

Be able to email the changes to be made: The demise of most content management systems is that when the designer leaves, all is back with the person who runs the website. There is no way to come up with an idea, shoot a quick email and have the change be made without touching a computer. The hope of a CMS is to be able to have some content changes at any time. Hybrid plans, or managed CMS plans to allow the freedom to make changes immediately, or email changes for the designer to do as quickly as possible.

Have a professional optimize your site regularly: When a professional designer makes periodic changes to a site, even a CMS website, are they going to notice things that can be optimized. More often than not, especially if the designer is good, they'll just make these changes on the fly. There are also different ways to structure the content within a CMS, and some ways are better than others in the long run. Having a professional make content changes can help ensure that the site is great over time not only when it is started.

Minimize costs and maximize your site: The biggest reason to use a hybrid managed CMS website is that it provides the best cost / benefit ratio. The site owner can experiment and try to learn the system, finding new functions for use in their own way. But when a function is critical and must be done today, there is always someone to turn to. Is the function too complicated? Did the designer do it. Think it's pretty easy? Just do it.
