Content Management Systems
Check out our other Website Updating Options.
If you would like to be able to update your website
yourself, but you don't have someone on staff who has experience working with web pages
and HTML code, you may want to consider a Content Management System (CMS). This is a system
that will allow you to login with a username and password to update the text or photos in
certain locations on your website. It can be set up in a way that can prevent you from
accidentally messing up the header area, the footer area, the navigation area, etc.
At Griffin Web Design, we offer a content management system for our a one time setup fee of $250.00 for a single user license. We do have an option for a multi-user CMS that assigns each login to a section of the website he/she can update. The multi-user CMS is available for a one-time setup fee of $500. This CMS requires that we host your website, so that we can ensure the program is set up and working properly on the server.
Keep in mind that while the CMS is great for easily editing text and photos on your site, it doesn't allow you to edit special features such as Flash animation, and it's not good for adding pages to your site. A webmaster would need to assist you in those cases. (If you need to regularly add pages to the site, please contact us to discuss other options.)
Please contact us if you would like to add on a CMS to a site we built for you. Even if you didn't sign up for the CMS at the time we built your site, we can still plug it in to any five pages for the same flat rate. However, if you have more than five pages, there will be an additional $22.50 for each additional page we add the CMS to.
If another company built your site, we're sorry; but due to the unusual setups and quality variances we find in websites created by other companies, we are not accepting web maintenance or CMS jobs for websites we did not create.
