It’s the new craze! Manage & maintain the content on your own site. In order to have a site like this one needs to look at CMS (Content Management System). This option is not for everyone, it requires time, human resources, a good understanding of the internet and computer knowledge. Should you have all of these at your disposal then CMS is without a doubt the way to go.
The average CMS presents as a plain white page. You can add your logo, navigation and content (text & images). Sounds easy enough to do on your own, right? Wrong! We all know the web is a very large place and if your site does not catch the eye of the visitor you might as well have no site at all. Even worse, an unprofessional looking site can do a company more harm than having no site at all.
This is where LAB22 comes into the picture. We design the site for you taking into account all the variables of you updating your own content. We then create special templates for the CMS we code a style sheet for the site and for variation pages. This ensures that your site looks good and you can confidently load your content knowing the front end will do your brand justice.
A CMS is as a standard system and then there are a number of add-on’s designed for specific businesses in mind.
1. Basic Content System (read more)
- Gives you the ability to update, add or remove documents (pages) & templates.

- Auto creates the menu’s and sub menu’s. Built in is the ability to automatically adjust your menu items, based on your web pages. For example, when adding a new page called "About Us", the CMS will automatically add this page to your menu structure.

- When used with the CMS, users can subscribe to your Mailing list directly on your website.
- Up to 30 different mailing groups.
- Customized text for disclaimers etc.
- The mails are sent out 1 at a time and waits after every 15 e-mail. This should prevent the mail from being 'seen' as Bulk mail and possibly being blocked by servers. Send a mail proof to yourself before sending it to an entire group.
- Use LAB22 designed templates to ensure your brand consistency. (read more)
