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.

Joomla! and other CMS

You can have a visually stunning website, one that grabs every visitor and draws them into your product – however, the design and structure of your website will quickly lose its relevance if you don’t have a good content management solution in place. The content management systems (CMS) preferred by Basestation are Drupal and WordPress. This is because Drupal offers real flexibility and is suitable for an array of websites no matter what you plan to do with them – whether you want to add video, blogs, create custom programming, a social network, Drupal can meet your needs. By contrast, WordPress is ideal for more basic applications – if you want an easy to run blog then it is the CMS for you. Both are also open source systems and they are completely free.

However, any good developer won’t force a single content management solution on its client because they will realise the importance of finding a solution you are happy with – and Basestation is no exception. Even though Basestation has preferred content management solutions, it will help you find the right one for your needs and is not afraid to think outside the box. For example, many of its clients use the Joomla content management system. Joomla has a registration system that allows users to configure personal options and boasts a media manager system that makes it easy to manage media files and folders. There is a language manager so your content can be supported in many world languages; and there is even a web link system that allows you to count every click.

So perhaps you have used a content management system before and you are comfortable with it so you’d like to see it applied to your new website. No matter what your reasons, Basestation is willing to work with you on request to set up the CMS that gives you the confidence you need to keep your website on top.
