"Good web site design is all about designing the navigation so visitors can find what they're looking for. The goal is to fit the web site to the visitor's mind, rather than requiring the visitor to figure out how our minds work."

CMS stands for Content Management System. The basic function of a CMS is to provide a way for non-technical web users to edit the content shown on a website. This editing can be as simple as text-only editing but can be also be sophisticated enough to control all aspects of the website. These systems are common for business who are selling products online or who have multiple contributors who will be updating a web site. The pages can be updated from any computer with an Internet connection. No special software is required.

Head Start of Lane County The site features compelling panoramic photographs, slideshow quicklinks, revolving factoids, and much more. The public portion of the site serves families and partner agencies. There is also a comprehensive staff-only section of the site. The integrated content-management system allows administrators to fine-tune which sections of the web site (or even portions of a page) are visible to the public. We worked closely with staff to create a system that allows them to easily upload and organize a massive document archive, maintain a 300+ page online policy manual, and integrate with other online services. We also provided training sessions and documentation to both site content editors and network administrators. |

Many people today are choosing to hire a web professional to set up their site so they can maintain parts or all of it themselves. This can include simple text changes, updating graphics, and adding products and updating prices on an e-commerce site.
Designing web sites to be maintained by a non-designer is the most popular type of web site development today. Click here to read more about "self-maintenance."
