What a CMS is, and why you should not care which one
CMS stands for content management system: the editor that lets you change the words and pictures on the site without touching code. The question we get most often is "is it WordPress?" The better question is "can I change my opening hours in under a minute?"
What matters
- Can you edit the page while seeing what it will look like?
- Is there an undo?
- Can you do it from a phone?
- Does it keep you away from the things that break the site?
What does not
The brand name of the system. A well-built site on any modern platform will do the above. A badly built one on a famous platform will not.
Our approach
We use whichever editor fits the site, and we keep it simple on purpose: content is yours to change, structure is ours to look after, and both are included in the plan. If you are curious about the specifics for your project, ask and we will show you the editor before you sign anything.
