Content Management Systems

CMS websites have been around for a long time, and these days you should expect to be able to update your own website.

baby-e uses two tried and trusted CMS platforms that are simple to use and fully customisable. Layouts are custom designed for your needs, rather than using a boxed template approach. And you can decide how far to take it... just changing prices or address details once a year? No problem - keep it simple.

But if you want to step it up a notch, you can completely change the look of your CMS website ~ change the layouts, add more pages, colours, style sheets (CSS), multiple templates, and much, much more.

Over the years baby-e has used a number of other Content Management System (CMS) platforms, but none compare to the simplicity of the current offerings. And customisation means your website can be further developed to suit what you want to do.

The importance of updating

Bring site visitors back to your website by updating it regularly, and search engines love reading changing content. With a baby-e CMS website, you're in control and can update whenever you want, from wherever you want.

Simplicity

Other CMS platforms have clunky urls, dynamic content that can't be read by search engines, and too many default features to learn ~ simple updating is a nightmare. But the baby-e CMS is different. Log in to your website from any internet capable computer (Mac and PC), make your changes, and save.
Your changes are made in real-time, and from anywhere.

Edit the pages on your website using the WYSIWYG "what you see is what you get" editor, just like a word processing package. Or if you're comfortable with an html editing package like Dreamweaver or FrontPage, copy and paste between the two.

CMS and WYSIWYG

There is common confusion between these two terms:

CMS is the functionality to be able to manage your whole website ~ add and delete pages, pictures, layouts and templates.
WYSIWYG "What you see is what you get" ~ is a text editing interface so you can edit text in a simple manner.

Ongoing CMS development

Both baby-e CMS platforms are being contunually updated and further enhanced by a huge worldwide development community. Many other web designers that offer CMS, use platforms they have developed themselves. Not only does this limit the functionality, but also the usability and backup technical support.
