At School Website Solutions, we make affordable software and tools to enhance your website.

But that wasn't always the case...

We started out doing custom programming. People would come to us with specific programs that they needed and we'd build them. Our customers were very happy with our software and it wasn't long before we started to get a reputation for creating great web based software.

As word spread, and we became more popular, we realized two things:

1) Custom programming is expensive. For every one client that could afford us there were 50 who wanted our software but didn't have the budget.

2) We couldn't meet the demand. Even for the clients who could afford it, creating just one program can take months, and we just didn't have enough programmers to handle multiple websites simultaneously.

On top of that, the programmers were restless. They wanted to do more, they wanted to push the limit. They wanted to make software that was better, bigger, faster. They wanted to spend the time to really make something GREAT... without having to worry about budgets and deadlines.

So we started thinking... How could we still make "really great programs" and make them affordable to all our customers. We went over all the programs we'd ever created... What's something that a lot of people could use? What's something that really works well on the web? After much debate, we finally decided...

A Content Management system (CMS)! There are many things that CMS is used for. Most corporations that are looking into a CMS are looking for a way to manage their data. But CMS provides more than just data management and template Web delivery.

Some of the features a good CM System will provide are:

  • Data management
    This is the primary function of CMS, to manage the content on Web sites. Most CMS systems use XML to tag the content and database connectivity.
  • Web Life-Cycle Management
    Many CM systems provide the ability for content managers to approve and validate content before it goes live on the Web. They can also control the time a content element goes live, the day and time is it removed from the site, and the locations on the site that the content element appears.
  • Web Templating
    Web pages are created from templates. This allows your content developers to concentrate on writing. Then when they are ready to post items to the Web site, the content will display with the standardized branding of your site.

  • Personalization
    Once the content is put into the CM system, it makes it that much easier to create personalized pages for your Web site visitors. This is because the Web page design is separated from the content - so the content can be delivered exactly as your readers request it.
  • Syndication
    Syndication allows you to share your Web content with other corporations. Like personalization, it is made possible because the content is separated from the design of the Web site. This tool can be used for more than just companies that primarily create content.
  • Digital Rights Management
    As the copyright holder of content, whether it be writing, audio or video, you have the opportunity to provide high-quality access to your content. Content Management systems provide the background for managing the rights to your content.
