Why a CMS?
Update your web site using your web browser.
Being able to manage your web site using your web browser means you update your web site from any location using standard software.
Recite CMS has a Control Panel you can log in to using your web browser. Once logged-in you can make any changes as required. Additionally, some aspects of your site can be updated while viewing the site.
Make changes at no additional cost.
Content Management Systems empower the site owner so they can make changes to their web site without the direct input of a web development professional. This means you can make changes to your web site without needing to pay for somebody else's time or expertise.
Recite CMS lets you create any number of pages, upload any numbers of files, and make any changes you need to make, all via the Control Panel. If you're unsure how to use any aspect of the Control Panel, a comprehensive user guide is available for reference.
Search.
Content Management Systems often allow you to add a search feature to your web site. Being able to search a web site for specific content is a must for serious web sites.
Recite CMS includes an integrated search solution. You can easily control which content is available for search.
Lower costs.
When you use a Content Management System, you're not paying for the entire web site backend to be developed from scratch. Your costs are typically limited to licensing the CMS, integrating your web site, and in some cases, paying for custom development. In most cases, paying for a license costs only a fraction of developing all of your required features and business rules from the ground up.
Recite CMS is used by many different organisations. The code is constantly being further developed and improved. This means you receive new features and stability improvements without paying for the development costs.
Smaller learning curve.
To use a Content Management System you don't need to be an expert web developer. Many of the content management tasks can quickly be picked-up by new users.
Recite CMS is very intuitive to use. Most functions in the Control Panel include inline help you can easily refer to when required. Additionally, the comprehensive Control Panel user guide explains all features in detail and some guides on how to achieve certain tasks.
Concern yourself only with content.
Typically your site's layout need only be created once. After that, you only have to update content as required (create new pages, post news articles, etc.) and not be too concerned with the presentation. Conversely, you can change the look and feel of your web site without needing to update existing content.
Recite CMS includes a template manager, used to manage the look and feel of your site (in conjunction with CSS files and images). Your web site is made up of a series of reusable templates. A template typically had a series of placeholders which are automatically replaced by your content as required.
