Content Management Systems

A content management system (CMS) is a web based application used to create, edit, manage, search and publish various kinds of digital media and electronic text. CMSs are frequently used for storing, controlling, versioning, and publishing industry-specific documentation such as news articles, operators' manuals, technical manuals, sales guides, and marketing brochures. The content managed may include computer files, image media, audio files, video files, electronic documents, and Web content. A CMS may support the following features:

• Identification of all key users and their content management roles; 
• The ability to assign roles and responsibilities to different content categories or types; 
• Definition of workflow tasks for collaborative creation, often coupled with event messaging so that content managers are alerted to changes in content (For example, a content creator submits a story, which is published only after the copy editor revises it and the editor-in-chief approves it.); 
• The ability to track and manage multiple versions of a single instance of content; 
• The ability to capture content (e.g. scanning); 
• The ability to publish the content to a repository to support access to the content (Increasingly, the repository is an inherent part of the system, and incorporates enterprise search and retrieval.); 
• Separation of content's semantic layer from its layout (For example, the CMS may automatically set the color, fonts, or emphasis of text.).

Many people have started getting their company websites developed on CMS to easily allow them to manage it. Joomla and Drupal are two very common CMS which we can help clients deploy their websites on.

Pricing starts from $1000 upwards for configuring and setting up the CMS. Additional customizations are chargeable additional.

Document Management Systems

A document management system (DMS) is a computer system (or set of computer programs) used to track and store electronic documents and/or images of paper documents. The term has some overlap with the concepts of Content Management Systems and related to Digital Asset Management, Document imaging, Workflow systems and Records Management systems. 

We can implement and support DMS's on Microsoft or Linux platforms. After the DMS is setup, we can train your staff to manage it or provide support to you.

Costs for setting up the DMS start from US$ 500 upwards depending on technology and platform.

Micro / Affiliate Sites

A microsite, also known as a minisite or weblet, is an Internet web design term referring to an individual web page or cluster of pages which are meant to function as an auxiliary supplement to a primary website. The microsite's main landing page most likely has its own domain name or subdomain.

They are typically used to add a specialized group of information either editorial or commercial. Such sites may be linked in to a main site or not or taken completely off a site's server when the site is used for a temporary purpose. The main distinction of a microsite versus its parent site is its purpose and specific cohesiveness as compared to the microsite's broader overall parent website.

Microsites used for editorial purposes may be a page or group of pages that, for example, might contain information about a holiday, an event or similar item which gives more detailed information than a site's general content area may provide. A community organization may have its main site with all of the organization's basic information, but creates a separate, temporary microsite to inform about a particular activity, event or similar.

We have been proposing and building affiliate websites for clients since the late 90's.

Blogs

A blog (a contraction of the term "Web log") is a Web site, usually maintained by an individual with regular entries of commentary, descriptions of events, or other material such as graphics or video. Entries are commonly displayed in reverse-chronological order. "Blog" can also be used as a verb, meaning to maintain or add content to a blog.

Many blogs provide commentary or news on a particular subject; others function as more personal online diaries. A typical blog combines text, images, and links to other blogs, Web pages, and other media related to its topic. The ability for readers to leave comments in an interactive format is an important part of many blogs.
