All web sites need fresh, up-to-date content. Whether you update annually, weekly, or every few minutes, a CMS allows you more control. A good CMS includes a mechanism for easy editing of web pages and much more. Content management means you have greater control over your content, for example:

• you may want to preview new content before you publish it
• you may want a workflow process, where some people are authors and some have the right to publish
  you may want to control access to certain content
• you may want to publish many different types of content like documents, events and news, in addition to regular HTML web pages
• you may want to look back at what was on the site, and when; and see statistical information

A CMS allows for transparency of communication. It forges a channel of communication from site publisher to the site audience, where communication flows from you, through your site, to your customers.

• Replace the need to employ expensive technical staff.
• Scale, allowing your site to grow without redevelopment costs.
• Allow you to keep pace with customers' expectations.
