CMS offers elegant content control features and long-term cost savings advantages for users
A Content Management System (CMS) allows you, the user, to easily add to and change content from your website without the help of a Webmaster. Though available in one form or another for over 10 years, CMS has come into its own with recent increases in broadband internet speeds.
We at OWDT are strong proponents of CMS because of its elegant content control features and long-term cost savings advantages for users.
