A Content Management System (CMS) is simply what runs the back-end of your web site. Many sites are now built with a content management system that easily allows you to create, modify, and update your site’s pages, without needing any HTML or programming knowledge. CMS software is set up so that content is formatted correctly and in keeping with the rest of your site, and adding new content can be done by non technical users.
CMS can be an integral part of the functionality of your site, allowing you to make immediate changes and updates to news, blogs, pricing, and inventory. However, it is important to consider how the CMS affects the SEO of your site. The Mouse and Man team will meet with you throughout the design/development process to determine if the CMS system is best suited for you and if it allows for SEF (Search Engine Friendliness). SEF is the process of ensuring your site is most compatible with the latest releases to search engines. For example, a page titled yourdomain.com/id/v/ieee-12.php is much less likely to be understood by search engines (and people) than one titled yourdomain.com/category/sub-keyword/exact-keyword (eg: http://www.amazon.com/Kindle-Globally-Graphite-Display-Technology)
If you currently have a site with a CMS and you would like it analyzed for SEF, contact Mouse and Man today at 704-968-1775.
