Content Management System

Performance Computing specializes in Joomla Content Management Systems (CMS) to build websites.

A content management system is software connected to a database that stores the content of your Web site. Content can be simple text, photos, music, video, documents, or just about anything you can think of. The major advantage of using a CMS is that it requires almost no technical skill or knowledge to manage.

Content Management Systems have the following advantages:

  • You can do your own content entry using a web browser. This means you only pay for the initial setup and training and then you take control of your website. No more ongoing charges and days waiting every time you need to make a small change. You make the changes when you need to from anywhere with an internet connection using any computer.
  • You can give permissions to other users to work on your website content. Content is locked when a user is working on an article so other users can't overwrite their changes.
  • You can publish and unpublish individual content at any time or choose a start and end publishing date. This allows you to work on an article or page and make edits until you are happy and then publish it. It also allows you to publish information that is only valid for a certain ammount of time (like a store sale) and the article will be automatically removed from the website on the date you specify. You don't need to remember to do it manually.
  • You can make design changes to one file called a template and they change the look of the entire site immediately. It is no longer necessary to manually edit every single page when you want to change the look of your site.
  • You can install any number of components (there are hundreds available) to add features to your web site at any time, such as image galleries, forums, newsletters and calendars to name a few. This allows you to start out with a basic site to meet your initial budget and requirements and then add features at a later time when you can afford to enhance you website.
