Content Management

Content Management Systems (CMS) to help you to produce web content faster and easier.

You have a fast moving requirement to have content produced by non-technical users using an easy to use interface but at the same time you want them to produce in a visually consistent style. You might even want to have content produced by people outside of your organisation or staff working from home but you still want to have an element of control and security. You want some content (text, images or video) visible to everyone via the internet but other parts of the website restricted to authenticated users.

All these requirements would seem to be mutually exclusive but they can be answered by having a modern and efficient Content Management System (CMS).

With a CMS, provided by Crann Tara, you can have an internal only (Intranet) system where only users on your local network can access the system or an Internet based system accessible by all. Indeed it is also possible to have a CMS where parts are only accessible internally, or only to registered users and other parts are available to all.

All website content can be produced using a simplified word-processor style interface which includes tools to, for example, embolden text, format paragraphs, create bulleted lists, insert images and link to other pages etc.

Example components

  • forums
  • wikis
  • photo gallery
  • ecommerce
  • video presentation
  • online surveys
  • document management

and many more
