SitFrog.com web solutions utilize a content management system (CMS), which allows you to manage your own website content. With a CMS-based site, you can easily add/update pages and text, update your blog, add photos, share your newsletters and press releases, incorporate an events calendar, much more. Changes can be made to your website as your business changes, without any knowledge of specialized technology – if you can edit a document, you can edit your web site!

What is a CMS? A 'web content management' (WCM) system is a CMS designed to simplify the publication of Web content to Web sites, in particular allowing content creators to submit content without requiring technical knowledge of HTML or the uploading of files.

How does that effect me? Having your website sit on the framework of a content management system means that simple updates to content and feature capabilities can be done far quicker then websites that do not have a content management system framework. In many cases, updates to content on the website can actually be made by the customer with NO programming experience at all, and be done online in the web browser (Internet explorer or FireFox). This feature alone could save you thousands of dollars spent paying your webmaster to update a few key pieces of information regularly.

Sitfrog.com uses some of these content management systems:

• Drupal - www.drupal.org
• Joomla - www.joomla.org
• Wordpress - www.wordpress.org
• Magento - www.magentocommerce.com/

Turning on simple features in these content management systems takes little more then 5-15 minutes per module and alllows your website features that the much larger and much more expensive websites have and without paying your web developer thousdands of dollars per feature. Some of the features offered are, but not limited to -

• blog
• message forum
• chat forums
• document management
• address books
• custom online forms
• memberships (username and password)
