Many of our web solutions, including Favourite Things, the QueenSpark archive and our own site, have been built using CMSimplicity.

This is our own straightforward and intuiative website Content Management System that empowers you to build and maintain your own website. You can add new pages, edit existing ones and delete old news. You can even create new sections and bolt-on additional functionality such as an a Online Contributions facility to enable your website visitors to add their own comments or an E-commerce module allowing your website to accept secure on-line payments.

There are several advantages to using CMSimplicity:

TRIED AND TESTED
Firstly, it is technically proven and is currently being used by a number of our clients who manage their own web content. Users require no specialised technical knowledge as all functionality is fully automated and has been designed for ‘ease of use’. This means your organisation is not dependent on any one individual to update and manage its website. It also means that your branding and style can be maintained, ensuring your site always looks professional and well maintained, irrespective of its size or the number of users working on, or changing its content.

CONFORMS TO STANDARDS
Secondly, by using our system, you ensure that your website content conforms to W3C's WAI Accessibility Guidelines, Levels Single-A and Double-A. Having such an accessible website means that it can be used by the widest group of people possible - an important consideration for all on-line businesses in the light of recent amendments to the UK Discrimination Act.

OPEN SOURCE SOFTWARE
Finally, CMSimplicity is open source which means there are no cost prohibitive user licences associated with it. And, in the future - be it a simple re-skinning or the adding of additional features - you are free to develop your website further with whoever you choose.
