CMS web design
A content management system is only worth having if your own team will use it. Most do not, because the admin screens were never designed for the people who have to update the opening hours on a Friday afternoon. Sites are built so that editing is obvious.
The work
What CMS web design involves
Choosing the right system
The work is mainly in WordPress because it suits most businesses, has the widest pool of people who can maintain it, and does not tie you to any one supplier. Where something else fits better, that will be said rather than forcing the job into a familiar tool.
An admin your team can actually use
Fields are labelled in your language, not the developer language. Editors see the things they are meant to change and not the things they are not. Where a page has rules, the system enforces them, so a well-meaning edit cannot break the layout.
Handover and training
You get a short training session, written notes for the tasks you will do most often, and the source files. If you later move to another agency, everything they need is there.
