Why Dotcomweavers?
Contrary to popular belief, a website with a CMS is not a 'build it and forget it' matter. It, like all investments, requires monitoring, adjustments and improvements. Dotcomweaves will help you in the following key aspects of CMS implementation:The User Interface. Every CMS has its own methods for managing content. Each have different ways of allowing your user base to create and edit their content. Knowing this, it is important to understand, prior to implementation, exactly how your users will be able to create and manage their content.
Subject Matter Experts. The purpose of a CMS is to distribute the workload of managing a website down to the individual or individuals within your organization who know the content - the subject matter experts, if you will. These users have their own jobs to focus on. They really do not want to spend a lot of time managing the website. A CMS will make it easier for them to add and edit content without the hassle of technical know-how. A vital step in implementing any CMS is to discuss with these users, prior to implementation, exactly how they will be expected to manage their slice of the pie.
Di-sect the Display Templates. Each template needs to clearly define what areas users will be allowed to modify and control. It is also important to show which areas will be automatically generated based on content entered elsewhere in the system.
Demonstrate the Efficiency. Demonstrate how and where content will be reused. This may seem like extra time and planning, but it is worth a lot more at the back-end of the project. Imagine spending 4 months implementing a new system and importing all of your content, only to find out the marketing group does not want to manage their press releases the way you pictured it? Spending time now getting early feedback builds a sense of ownership. This will go a long way toward increasing your adoption rate later on.
