Content Management Systems
In the recent past, a Content Management System (CMS) was used to manage disparate documents and information in an intranet. Generally, the cost of implementing a CMS was prohibitively high and consequently was found only in enterprise class computing environments. Today, CMS has become synonymous with easy to edit and manage web pages and associated content.
Yes, the enterprise class systems still exist and still cost a bunch, CMS can be found in many web site generators such as Joomla, WordPress, and Drupal, to name just a few. In these integrated development tools, the web pages and their associated content are presented to the "non programming expert" in a simple WYSIWYG format.
For low usage, minimum rich media content, these integrated development packages tend to work well and can provide a plethora of features and functions which are normally available to those high end web site development projects. However, if your site needs to manage rich media across a large set of users who may be online to your site frequently, a custom CMS may be the best solution overall.
Even with a custom developed CMS, the ease of editing and managing your web site will not change. Cron Systems can develop either method depending on your needs.
