CMS & Dynamic Content

You can take control of your website with CMS and dynamic content, saving you money and time in updates. The dynamic features of web sites allow you, the owner of the site, to manage content within the site without any knowledge of HTML or web design. Database utilities can even be customized to fit your specific needs. We provide a convenient interface that makes managing your content easy and straight forward. To make updates, simply use a provided desktop application to input your new or updated content. Data-driven websites pull content from a database and are put together when the page is accessed. This technique is especially useful for websites requiring frequent content updates. Below is a list of applications that are helpful for many sites.

Advertisements - Advertisements are provided as an extension of the organization management feature. Advertisements add a thumbnail and a larger ad image to organization listings. The thumbnails are typically shown on the home page, linked to a larger, related ad. The advertisement has a title (tag line) and description field for full description of the advertised offer.

Announcements - Simple Announcements are typically placed on the home page. Detailed Announcements provide an abbreviated list also placed on the home page. From this abbreviated list, the user can click on a link to read more about the announcement. You may also up to three (3) related PDF documents and an image.
