Content Management System

What is a content management system? some sort of online software program.

**Wistow** · 09-06-2005, 14:07

The CMS option just makes life alot easier as, for example, I now have categories in each website in the portfolio for things such as design brief, testimonials, etc and it is much more organized and easier to manage.

It also gives me an opportunity to hone my Mambo development skills

Google is a fantastic tool to answer these sort of questions, very easy to use

To save you the trouble of searching... A CMS allows you to store content and serve it on demand to your desired web pages. They are usually built around a database and dynamic pages.

Hwy Craig,

I took the day off from sanding floors for father's day and while deleting all the junk mail I came across one of "Robertalls's report a post emails" and figured I should stop by the site and see what's happening.

I like the new design however I had one question I couldn't find the answer to on your site. I notice you use the plural of "consultants", and "they" and "designers".

Exactly how many people work at Wistow.net? I thought it was a one highly skilled person operation.

Hi Franklyn, long time no see

Wistow.net is a one-man operation that utilizes the skills of others through freelancing when the workload calls for it, hence the plural

Also, you must project an image of success to achieve success

Anyone can be a plural. You wouldn't believe how many people lie to make their website/business look like theres a ton of people working there.

It saves you from changing the company name when you expand

Not being too picky but I think your frames are a little out between the "Home" and Portfolio" pages.. it moves to the right... I found alot else that stands out.. but its a damn good site
