Many clients will want to consider using a content management system, or CMS, for their websites. A content management system is a web-based website management software application that takes the content out of static web pages and puts it in a database.

Reasons for considering a CMS include:

• You'd like to update your site frequently, and/or maintain it in-house. Less technical knowledge is required to maintain most CMS sites. Less time spent on maintenance can mean less money spent on hourly maintenance rates or more time for your in-house webmaster to complete other tasks.
• Web-based tool requires no desktop software and can be managed from anywhere you have Internet access.
• Easier to redesign a site.
• Easier to migrate and back up a site.
• Many CMS are open source and free, with corporate and community support available.
• Many extensions are available to provide extra features (e.g.: calendars, message boards, image galleries, shopping carts).
