Solutions

If only every website were the same – wouldn’t that make life easy? Actually, Basestation believes it would make life very boring! One of the most important elements of building any website is to create a system that’s right for you, the individual. This doesn’t just mean creating a design that puts out the right message about your company – it also means using a content management solution that you are happy with and can use to take your website forward.

At Basestation the preferred content management systems (CMS) are Drupal and WordPress – both are open source and completely free to use. However, this doesn’t mean that they are ideal for everyone, which is why Basestation will collaborate with you to create a custom solution, whether that is working with an existing open source CMS or creating a complete solution from the ground up to suit your business. So why would you want a custom content management solution?

Perhaps you feel that existing open source systems don’t meet your needs. Your business may require unique settings – for example, property developers often want to list developments, plots available and locations while controlling the reservation and sales process. Similarly, property listings often require complete control over the house sale process including logging notes of interest, surveys and viewings. Or perhaps you have an e-commerce website, meaning you’re looking to sell a product and require a unique shopping cart with secure merchant transactions; or maybe you want to incorporate music, photography or graphics in a way that other content management systems don’t seem to allow. The point is that it doesn’t matter what your reasons are for wanting a custom content management solution – the developers at Basestation have the skills and creativity to build a system that will work for you not only now, but also in the future.
