Content Management
What is a CMS - Content Management System?

We have developed the CS One CMS to allow organisations to easily administer their own website, intranet, or extranet online without the need for additional software or technical knowledge. CS One CMS is a flexible and easily deployed server-based system designed for the efficient collection, management and publication of content within a website. Companies are able to update text, insert images and graphics of their site whenever and wherever they like. CS One CMS gives businesses the ability to produce effective and impressive web pages independently.

Why?
People are continually looking to the Internet for answers, with over 800 million users online, and growing, it is becoming increasingly more important not only to be “on the net” but to have a major presence. The need for content to be fresh and informative is driving the requirements of organisations and their websites to a higher scale. With a well designed and up-to-date website through CS One CMS, companies can show themselves to be as professional and credible as their larger competitors and so compete successfully in this growing market

The CS One CMS empowers business users to contribute and publish content regularly, allowing for well managed and relevant content. This enables business users to focus on their core business whilst benefiting from contributions to their website; consequently producing and maintaining an impressive and informative website. Having the ability to manage website pages and marketing material online whilst keeping to corporate style provides huge benefits:

Better Participation
The intuitive nature of the CS One CMS Editor makes it easy for anyone who has used standard office applications to be able to manage content. Most users need little or no technical skill or training to be able to create and edit great pages.

Compliance
We believe that the adoption of standards is important to the future of the Internet. The CS One CMS technology has been developed to allow compliance to the common standards for Internet use. Following similar principles for ease of use, the application of accessibility guidelines is simple and automatically prepared when content is created.
Content Control
Levels of control can be introduced that allows administrators to have overall control over what will be published on the live website. The tool CS One CMS uses restricts the creative and editing powers of users and exists so permission is required for changes to be published on the website.

Improved User Experience
The CS One CMS encourages and supports business users to contribute and publish content regularly without IT training, using the following features to help business users create, edit and publish pages.
  • Secure login
  • Web browser based
  • WYSIWYG Editor (HTML proficiency is not needed, web pages can be created in plain text)
  • Page version control
  • Preview webpage content before publishing
  • Add new pages or whole sections to your site without further expense
  • Word processing style editing
  • Intuitive, easy to use and visual interface
  • Restricted access

  • Images can be automatically re-sized to match the template design
  • Auto archiving
  • Facilitates automatic updating of 'What's new'
Consistent Look and Design
Templates and styles allow users to enter content directly into a pre-designed template pages, which provides CS One CMS users with a complete editing environment, but protects areas of the page that are not for general editing. This creates the right balance between editorial control and design coherence ensuring the final output conforms to agreed design principles.

Scalability & Flexibility

The CS One CMS can be scaled from a single site environment to multiple sites with unlimited pages with high endurance to site 'traffic' allowing for a large number of visitors to successfully view the site.

Search engines

CS One CMS has been built keeping the best practise for search engines in mind, allowing editing of Metadata (at page level, globally or for a groups of pages). The system allows for each individual page to be optimised; the content within pages can be based around targeted keywords which can be edited within the Metatag tools. This feature helps to improve search engine rankings, and ultimately traffic and maintain a “Search Engine Friendly Website.”

Cost Effective

Users can enter content directly, inserting images and tables without outside involvement or any technical knowledge. Besides being much faster, CS One CMS is a much more cost-effective approach to content management.

How?

Many Content Management solutions are too complicated for most users or too simple to allow the required control. Rather than requiring specialist skills CS One CMS has made authoring available to everyone. Users can enter the information directly inheriting the default design of the chosen template and go on to enter. We have struck a balance between offering a highly technical solution and simple administration within a controlled environment. 

The CS One CMS means that information can be entered on an administration page updating the website immediately, within the limitations of the control process. This gives a potential new found flexibility of design and presentation of the information on a website or online magazine. CS One CMS will give you the flexibility at the level of expertise you feel comfortable with whilst still achieving a professional and brand consistent website.
