Way back at the dawn of the World Wide Web era, websites were fairly simply designed. And, website development tools weren't nearly as sophisticated as they are now. In fact, sites were mainly hand-crafted with just a regular text editor and html hand-coding. As you can imagine, that could make the process of site design and maintenance rather unwieldy. Now though, tools are much better, which can make life easier for every webmaster. But, even the newer GUI-based, WYSIWYG html tools can't compare with CMS and E-Commerce Web Development with the Custom Netricks CMS based products.

There are some major differences between the regular WYSISYG html design tools and today's content management tools. With older web design tools, it not only took more time to design a site, there was also the question of security. The only way to allow other people to add content was to give them the administrator password for the whole website. (And, you'd also have to train them to encode the content properly.)

Content Management Systems, such as the one available from Custom Netricks CMS, can make life easier on both counts. Thanks to both its built-in and optional templateswhich the Netricks people call "modules"building an operational website can be fast and easy. (Hand-coding in html is no longer necessary.)

Design and development of content management and E-Commerce sites is made easy by the wide range of available modules. If you're a blogger, real estate trader, auto trader, mortgage lender, there's a module available to suit your needs. (The vendor's staff can either customize existing modules to your specification, or create new ones.) So, regardless of whether you just want to create a plain news site, or a fancy on-line shopping site, there will be a module to help you out.

A salient feature of this product is its easy control features. After a look-see at the on-line manual, you can easily structure your site without knowing a thing about programming. Without having to pay IT personnel to maintain a site, this product could easily pay for itself.

To add or content, just open up the WYSIWYG text editor. (Anyone who's familiar with Microsoft Word will find the interface comfortably familiar.) Tools to manage text-formatting, files, links, and tables are built-in.

Security is enhanced, because it's not necessary to give full web server access to someone who wants to add content. Just set up user accounts for other contributors, and they'll have only the privileges that they really need. The webmaster can then choose to approve others' content before actually publishing it. Also, since the content and design elements are stored in separate locations, the look and feel will be the same for all authors' articles. As new articles are added, navigation menus will normally get created or d automatically.

An individual or small business with simple needs can save money by purchasing only the basic system. Then, as needs warrant, you can scale up to a system with more features and capabilities. Whatever your needs, doing Development with the Custom Netricks CMS based products could help you save much time and expense. (Netricks is based in Fresno, California.)
