Our last few posts have involved ponderings of social media.  Our sister blog NextGenND is a resource that can help you with social media and we’ll keep you posted on it but today you get to know what a Content Management System (CMS) is, why it’s a useful and valuable tool if you have or want a website, and what we use to answer the call of CMS greatness.  This post pertains to you if have a website, want a website or if you want some information that will help you to understand why you might want to make a switch from your existing site (which we can totally help you with by the way.)

Ever thought websites were too complicated and techy to ever want to deal with one?  Need a website that’s easy to change and update?  Would you like the freedom to make said changes on your own?

According to Wikipedia, a Content Management System (CMS) is “is a computer application used to manage work flow needed to collaboratively create, edit, review, index, search, publish and archive various kinds of digital media and electronic text.”  In short, it’s a program that stores all your website information in a neat, tidy way that allows you to easily change and update your website as often as you wish.  Here at MABU we use the Tao Interactive taoCMS™ Web Manager in all our websites so our clients have maximum management freedom on their websites.  Visit Tao Interactive to read about some more of the benefits of taoCMS™.

Wouldn’t believe me when I proclaim “TaoCMS™ is AMAZINGLY easy to use and so helpful that it will rock your socks off?” then I’ll tell you my little secret…the only website type experience I had before I started at MABU was customizing my Myspace profile with HTML code.  Those days have been long gone since I was involved in and able to understand the process of website creation and even more so once I was shown the TaoCMS™.  Even those of us who have no idea what CSS or HTML code is can become like the web geniuses we have on the MABU crew.

So join us with this lovely thing called TaoCMS™ and enjoy a world of shiny website capabilities.

Up next on the MABU blog…Newsy Updates and A MABU Halloween.
