Power to the Client: A New Trend in Web Development

Vienna, VA -- April 3, 2001 - Give the clients the tools to help themselves -- thats the ideology behind web development company BCSwebservices.nets decision to create a Content Management System (CMS). All of the companys web sites are built with the underlying functionality of a built-to-fit Content Management System that allows clients to take control of the content posted on their sites. The system design is based on the design architecture of the web site and consists of templates to which an authorized user can post content.

Aileen Cooney, a Project Manager at BCSwebservices.net, explains how the system works with an example, if a client wants to post a new job opportunity to the Job Opportunities section of his web site, he can go to the Job Opportunities section of the CMS, click add, type or paste the job listing, submit it, and the announcement is posted to the site." The CMS gives users the ability to edit content once it has been posting and remove information when it is outdated. With the job listing, for example, once the job has been filled all the user needs to do is click a delete button to remove it from the site.

Clients love it because they can make the changes they want when they want, and they dont get a bill for every little update," says Maggie Fisher, Director of Project Management - BCSwebservices.net. At a time when many companies are watching their pocketbooks, eliminating unnecessary expenses is a top priority. This is also an excellent benefit to nonprofit organizations, many of which get grants for building a web site, but dont have an unlimited budget to use towards updating their sites.

Since clients do not have to worry about the additional costs of text edits and updates, using a CMS makes them more inclined to add information to their sites and weed out old news. Having an up-to-date site makes it a more valuable resource for visitors. If users know that they can depend on a web site for current information, they will come to rely on that site as a helpful tool. As a result, clients can get the most out of the money they have put into building or redesigning their site.

The way we figured it," says Kevin Fitzgerald, Sales Director at BCSwebservices.net, we are willing to lose the revenue generated by content changes and put up the cost to develop our Content Management System in return for more satisfied and loyal clients." The CMS allows clients an ongoing sense of ownership and responsibility for the site and allows them to make the most use of todays technology. As this technology evolves, BCSwebservices.net will upgrade its clients sites and modify its development plan to accommodate advances in Content Management Systems.
