Content Management Systems - CMS

Your business website is your company's public interface to the world at large. Your business content management system is your company's tool that enables you to control that website, that public interface, without any technical ability or skill. How does it work? If you have ever used a web mail service, like Yahoo or Hotmail, then you've used something similar to a content management system (CMS). In any web browser, you and your workforce will type in the address of your CMS, and log in through a secure interface similar to Yahoo or Hotmail. Then, you will be able to browse your website and edit it through a Microsoft Word-like interface. Save your changes, and your website is updated! Content management systems often represent an organization's first experience with web-based applications since most companies' first encounter with the internet is a website, and the first thing that most website owners want to do, is control it.

From graphics to text to Web 2.0 technologies such as streaming audio and video, your company's content management system is the key to finely-grained control of your website or web presence. Content management systems mean that your marketing department no longer needs to call your IT department (or consultancy) to get changes made to the corporate site: they simply log in and make the changes themselves, on their own schedule.

When Argot Systems deploys content management systems, how we develop them is primarily based on three issues:

  • Authentication
    Our approch to CMS development is to favor single-sign on for your company. What this means in practical terms is this: if your company's network is Microsoft-based, we will build the CMS into your Active Directory network authentication infrastructure using some combination of Microsoft products including SQL Server, ASP.NET, SharePoint, and C#. If you are running a Linux-based network, it is more likely that we will implement your intranet or extranet based on open-source technologies like PHP, MySQL and Perl.
  • Search Engine Optimization
    All websites that are designed and developed with Argot Systems have search engine optimization included as a basic part of the service. For basic website design and content management systems, Argot always includes search engine optimization as a part of the package.
  • Usability
    Many CMS's are very powerful, but powerful CMS's aren't always called for. Our approach is to reduce the amount of visible functionality for your CMS down to the bare minimum, so that each encounter with your CMS focuses the user on what they want to do, not on what is possible to do.
