One of the most important elements of the internet is speed – everyone can access the information they need now rather than having to wait the next day for a newspaper. That’s why it’s absolutely vital to ensure that the content on your website is constantly updated.

Solutions

Drupal

There are many reasons why Drupal is the preferred content management solution for Basestation – but above all, the key to its success is flexibility. Drupal is an open source content management system (CMS). It is a free software package meaning that if you start using it for your website you needn’t worry about monthly fees or subscription services – this is a content management solution you can rely on and use time and time again without costs. The system is already being used by a variety of websites around the world including: community web portals; discussion websites; corporate websites; intranet applications; e-commerce applications; resource directories; aficionado websites; social networking websites; and even personal websites and blogs.

Thanks to its built-in functionality, Drupal makes it easy to not only create your website, but to maintain it too. It makes administration straightforward with the ability to assign users to one or more roles with set permissions; and it allows you to build both internal and external websites from scratch in just a few hours without the need for custom programming. With its focus on social publishing you can create websites and applications that allow people to engage with each other and potentially build up a community around your website. Drupal is also able to handle numerous content types including video, text, blogs, polls, podcasts, real-time statistics and more.

Presentation is also of the highest order with Drupal which allows website hosts to create highly usable and interactive features; while there are custom features available too, whether you require anything from a shopping cart to dynamic lists. Above all, Drupal has a host of tools to help you manage your content which is why it is the first choice for the developers at Basestation. However, if you feel that Drupal is not right for you then Basestation also offers many alternative content management solutions.
