A Content Management System is designed to save your company money by reducing the amount of time required to publish content on your website. With a traditional static website, you have a small number (perhaps only one) person that handles website updates. With a CMS, the time it takes for them to make these updates is virtually eliminated because company staff are able to publish content directly without having to put together a change request.
The more content updates that are made, the more likely that your business would benefit from switching to a Content Management System.
Using the form below, you can enter the estimated cost of replacing your current website (or starting one) with a CMS, including any annual licensing fee associated with most proprietary CMS platforms. The typical cost of a high-end proprietary CMS is initially populated for convenience.
Alternatively, you can select from the options for Design, Development and Support to estimate the cost of getting a Content Management System. Many proprietary systems will also require costs in these areas, only providing licensing to run the existing packaged software, but Open Source platforms, especially those protected by the GPL, like Xaraya, do not involve licensing fees.
The hourly rate in the form is used both to estimate the savings, based on time required to currently perform tasks, and to estimate the cost of design and development [allow for different values here?].
