Content Management Systems
Content Management has always been a goal of web site owners. The concept is simple ... "I don't want to pay a programmer to update my marketing material" ... "let the developers and designers setup a web site that we can maintain ourselves". The truth is that developers don’t want to do it anyway!
The tools that can provide this are called Content Management Systems (CMS) and they have dramatically improved in recent years. They provide a framework for your web site and a simple but effective way to manage it. We use TYPO3 because it lets us offer you an impressive list of capabilities quickly.
