CMS (Content Management System)
When it comes to creating your new website, there are always two options: You can build your website on a CMS platform i.e.,WordPress or Custom-made.
There are numerous plugins for almost everything you will require for your website. Most are free to use, while some may be acquired for a small fee.
Quick and easy page management – Any approved user can quickly and easily publish online without complicated software or programming.
Consistent brand and navigation – Design templates provide a consistent brand and standard navigation across all KU websites.
Workflow management – An integrated workflow process facilitates better content management.
Flexibility for developers – Because the CMS enables non-technical users to easily publish content, this frees up technical developers to focus on functionality and enhanced features.
Design is separate from content – You can manipulate content without fear of accidentally changing the design.
Database-driven – You only need to change data once for it to be updated throughout your site.
Shared resources – Website managers will have access to shared resources, such as modules, images, audio and video files, etc.
Approval systems – You can give different levels of access to different users, and the CMS has mechanisms to ensure content is approved before going live.
Mobile ready – The CMS automatically scales your site to fit tablets, mobile devices and smaller browser windows.
Archive capabilities – You can track who has made changes to your page and archive previous versions of your page.
Remote access – You can access and update your site from anywhere with an Internet connection.
Security – Security is automatic.
Search engine-friendly – The CMS helps to optimize your website so that search engine users can easily find your information.
Updates — The CMS allows alerts to be set to notify the editor when content needs to be reviewed, updated or removed. This will help prevent old data from being presented and misinforming users.
