Write words, not code
Almost all websites have some sort of content management system, or CMS. A CMS allows the people who write the website’s content to concentrate on what they’re trying to communicate, instead of the technicalities of code, templates and navigation. Or at least, that’s how it’s supposed to work.
Death by a thousand features
There are hundreds of off-the-shelf CMS packages available–if you don’t believe us, check out CMS matrix. They range from absurdly expensive “enterprise” systems to open source blog software. Most share the same problem—they have too many features. This makes figuring out how to use them, and more importantly how they can fit into your site structure, surprisingly difficult.
Custom content management
We think that content management is too important to be left to software vendors. While we occasionally use open source tools (like the excellent WordPress weblog platform), we prefer to build custom content management systems that closely fit the requirements of your website. Which means you can spend less time trying to make sense of software, and more time writing.
