Thinking of creating a new website for your business? There are many options out there for website development, but 3C Solutions has some advice on how to develop a website for your business that is relatively inexpensive and easy to manage and keep up-to-date. We believe that using a Content Management System is by far the best choice for building a new website.Content Management Systems are used for all types and sizes of websites.

A Content Management System (CMS) is software that allows you to build a website quickly and easily without needing advanced technical expertise. CMS work by storing all of the information from the website on an online database. When a website visitor clicks on a link, the software pulls the data for the page from the database and allows the visitor to view it. A CMS allows all administrators to create and publish content without having to worry about any of the advanced technical aspects of a website.

There are many choices of content management systems out there. Wordpress, Drupal, and Joomla! are three of the most common. 3C Solutions usually recommends using Joomla! as a CMS that meets almost all of website needs of our clients. Other systems may be more appropriate if you have specific needs, for example, Wordpress has a more robust social networking component.

We like Joomla! because it has powerful capabilities as well as flexibility, and at the same time is relatively easy (and inexpensive) to set up and control. Joomla! provides a far more user-friendly interface than Drupal, but can create more powerful websites than Wordpress.

Additionally, Joomla has a large number of templates and extensions to choose from when setting up your website, allowing the most customization for the least amount of cost. Joomla!’s strong community of users allows you to network with others to make your website better and learn how to solve issues quickly and easily.

Choosing the best way to build your business’s new website can be a challenge. Please contact 3C Solutions for additional information.
