Why use a Content Management System?

Your web site's content is its most important asset.  All websites, whether they are marketing sites (brochure sites) or full-fledged eCommerce sites have one thing in common: Content. In this context, content refers to written text, images and other media. According to CNET (see article) in this age of social media, content is still king. The Online Publisher's Association (online-publishers.org) estimates that users spend most of their time viewing web site content. In order for your site to be most effective, its content should be fresh, often updated. But in traditionally-constructed web sites, updating content is a tedious affiar, requiring knowledge of HTML and access to the web servers.

A Content Management System (CMS):

  • Allows content to be updated quickly
    With a CMS, web content can be created and posted within seconds, without the need for technical knowledge

  • Requires little or no knowledge of HTML
    If users are familiar with word processing, they can update the site's content

  • Brings control to content publishing
    A CMS can provide security to control who can update what content and can even provide a content approval workflow

  • Assists with standardization
    A CMS can help control what styles are used so content looks similar across the entire site, no matter who authors it

A CMS puts the power to manage the web site in the hands of the business staff.

 

Why use Enable's CMS?

Enable Web Techologies has chosen to feature the DotNetNuke Content Management System (DNN). With our years of experience creating web applications (including designing a custom CMS used by the Department of Energy), we have found that DNN provides a unique mix of value and power. DNN provides much more than the ability to easily update content. Out of the box it includes a selection of over 25 add-on Modules providing a wide range of functionality such as:

Announcements Banner Ads Documents
Events FAQs RSS Feeds

When you enage Enable to build your web site with DNN, you get all of this and more. We include an upgraded HTML editor as a standard feature and provide supporting services such as look and feel development, content authoring and/or loading and optional ongoing support. We can even host your application for you on a shared or virtual private server.

With Enable's CMS you are in control of your web site!
