Edit anywhere. No expensive desktop software required. All you need is a web browser and an internet connection and you can update your site from anywhere.

Easy (and fun) to use. No programming or HTML knowledge required. WYSIWYG editors and intutitve layouts mean almost anyone in your organisation can take a hand in maintaining your website.

Skinnable. Because the content is separated from the layout and design you can easily give your site a fresh coat of paint without having to double-handle all your precious content.

Interactive. Create a sense of community and participation around your site with discussion boards, surveys, user submission systems, polls and much more. 

Workflow benefits. Different users can be assigned to manage content on different parts of your site right down to individual pages. Control viewing access of newly published material to ensure the right people sign-off on content before it goes  "live".

Extensible. If you have developers, or if you hire CMS specialists like AIMTec you can build plug-ins for your CMS website to make it do exactly what you need it to do.

Regular improvements and new features. WebGUI and MAMBO are two of the most popular CMS solutions on the market, each with thriving developer and supporter networks ensuring regular improvements and new features will become available at timely intervals.

Examples

Web Access Portal. Create a web site that links to other sites, perhaps automating the log in process to avoid having to remember dozens of passwords.

Customer support. Create a web site that provides customer support like downloads, product information and the ability to generate support requests. Ensure that only bona fide customers can access this information by givin them a password protected log in.

Sales support. Use your web site to support and manage your, sales people and channel partners. Give them password controlled access to sensitive information like price lists and leads. Let them know about upcoming events and campaigns and ensure that they use only approved and up-to-date marketing material.

Community. Build a community of users for any purpose using the many collaboration options that are offered by a CMS, ranging from simple forums to extensive web-based collaboration tools.
