Should you use a CMS?

Using a Content Management System is perfect for the small business owner. For many reasons, like how easy to add new content. Most of them have a text editor similar to Microsoft Word and just as easy if not easier to use. It will also let you had code or HTML without being a code junkie. Though if you are a code junkie, then you can switch to the code view and get your code on.

There are many different CMS’s out there Joomla, Durpal, DotNetNuke, Wordpress; to name a few (sure there are a bunch more, but then I would fill this post up with lots of CMS’s and I am sure you don’t need all of them). The toughest part might be getting one installed on your server, but many hosting companies offer a one-click install or other means to install these for you. Check with your hosting company to see which ones they offer and read up or learn more about those options.

Many of the CMS’s have options to add fancy functionality to site, like rotating features, video players, or SEO modules without knowing a lot or any code at all. This will save you time and money. Programmers aren’t cheap and if you can figure it out on your own, you will save yourself time. Though if you find yourself still lost, WBC will glad lend a hand to help you learn the process, so you can succeed.
