Maintenance 2.0 ... do it yourself

Content management systems

Partnering with companies such as Net Acceleration and Noteway, Dakota Street Design can develop or renovate your site using a content management system (CMS). You'll be able to make your own updates by logging into your site from any computer, located anywhere, using any up-to-date browser such as IE 7 or Firefox.

Some degree of technical aptitude is required — content managed systems sound easy, but can be complex to use. Dakota Street Design provides training and support, and can help you overcome challenges as they may arise.

The initial investment to develop a custom content-managed site is considerably higher, but some clients will recoup the cost in saved maintenance fees — and will appreciate having more control over their online presence.

Examples of content-managed sites developed by customizing templates:

Netacceleration
     World Affairs Council of Hilton Head Island
     Bolcom & Morris
