Wikipedia.org defines a Content Management System as a collection of procedures used to manage work flow in a collaborative environment. These procedures can be manual or computer-based. The procedures are designed to:

• Allow for a large number of people to contribute to and share stored data
• Control access to data, based on user roles. User roles define what information each user can view or edit
• Aid in easy storage and retrieval of data
• Reduce repetitive duplicate input
• Improve the ease of report writing
• Improve communication between users

By using a Content Management System, or CMS for short, companies are able to take back control of their website without the need for a web designer to be present during the updates.  Historically, when a Website was designed for a company, when it came time to update that website, the company had to bring the designer back in for the updates which resulted in maintance charges.  Now, thanks to Content Management Systems, it is possible to have the best of both worlds: a great looking website, that you can manage from your office!

Guzman Websites currently employs the use of Joomla CMS on numerous websites, as well as WordPress on others.  These two CMS structures are the most stable, and most recognized in the industry.  Along with the design and development of your CMS website, Guzman Websites will train your office on how to effectively and efficiently work together to update your website once the design is complete.
