Content ManagementThere is nothing more frustrating to an organization then not being able to edit its website content when it needs to. The days of relying on the web guy to do this are pretty much over. Or, are they? In this article I want to address the concern I have regarding the growing number of organizations who are beginning to realize that there has got to be a easier and cost effectively way to manage and control their online content.

First, let’s define the terms: CMS stands for content management system.  A CMS is defined as “the collection of procedures used to manage work flow in a collaborative environment.” (Source Wikipedia.)

Time to redesign your site

Nicasio Wordpress Design

With technology changing as rapidly as ti does, many business websites that were created a few years ago are in dire need of a redesign.  While there were only a few different design elements being used a a few years ago, new and much more creative websites are popping up all over the web.  There are many reasons that a business website could use a redesign. You will need to ask yourself some soul searching questions and give yourself a honest answer as well. First, when you visit your current site are you exited about it? If not, there’s your sign. When you are asked for your web address do you find yourself saying “We are working on it” or “We do not have one yet” ? If so, there’s your sign. But seriously, if you are not driving the traffic and page views you use to, then something is up. Does your analytics, and I hope you are running minimally Google Analytics, does it tell you you have a 70% or higher drop off rate? Then you may be bleeding money. Time for a new website redesign. These are but a few things to  considered in determining if your business website life cycle has become depleted and is in need of a change.

WordPress as a CMS – Part 1

If you’ve been around Nicasio Design & Development long enough, you’ve probably noticed that we’re always talking about using WordPress as a CMS. But what exactly is this CMS thing anyway, and why should you use it? Let’s break it down.

CMS stands for content management system. WordPress’ administrative area turns it into a CMS because it provides a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) editor similar to a mini-version of Microsoft Word. Basically, anyone that knows how to work Microsoft Word will be able to add and edit web content themselves without having to know any technical junk, like HTML. Below is a screenshot that shows what a WYSIWYG editor in WordPress looks like. Once you type in the box and hit save, whatever you’ve written is automatically published. It’s that simple.

One of the most positive findings of this report is how satisfied users are with WordPress, as the illustration below illustrates.

The Telfair Academy, Jepson Center for the Arts, and Owens-Thomas House are at the forefront of the art community in Savannah. These internationally renowned museums needed a new website with an innovative design that allowed them to categorize, manage and add new content pertaining to all three of their museums.
