Quick Tips

  • Keep your website fresh and alive with a Content Management System (CMS), so you can update your website text and images yourself using only your web browser. Ask your website designer.
  • Ask your website designer for a Javascript form checker to alert your users conveniently if they omit required information.
  • Your website designer can install a warning on the form confirmation page for your users to check their spam filters for your reply.

Control your website with a simple Content Management System - No need to get complex!

With the demands of the modern web, it’s becoming a must to be able to update your own website quickly and easily. A regularly updated website will perform better in the search engine results pages.

Many, even most, small business owners with a website still regularly shell out hundreds of pounds to web designers for small text edits and image changes.

And what happens when your web designer has gone on that snowboarding holiday and you need to make an update - quickly?

When people come to us looking for web design in Edinburgh, they often can’t find the words to say they want to be able to update their website themselves. We tell them what they’re looking for is a “Content Management System” or CMS.

Content Management Systems come in all shapes and sizes. At one end, very complex systems organise a website into units and allow the user to rearrange their entire website wholesale-style, often with drag and drop. At the other, a simple word processor style window in the web browser is used to update text and image content in the website.

And it’s this latter type of CMS that we find is more than adequate for our small Edinburgh business users. The professional design of the website is left untouched, while you have access to edit the text and images as and when you need.

The Edinburgh Web Designs Content Management System can be added cheaply to any website package and is included as standard in the MyBiz Pro website design package. It provides familiar word processor controls and a list of your website pages - choose a page, type and style and click Save - that’s it!

Even better, because your Content Management System is web based, you can access it from any computer with Internet access worldwide - so you can update your website while away on business or on holiday for example.
