In a world of dynamic and ever-increasing information, organizations of all sizes and types now require the ability to effectively and efficiently deploy fresh web content.

My content management solutions range from simple tools that allow users to update key text and image areas, to enterprise-wide Content Management Systems (CMS) that automatically update web data as multiple content contributors perform their day-to-day work.

But often, the ability to simply update content is not enough. It’s important to define those factors that insure the web site meets its objectives, and build those requirements into your CMS. For example, if conveying your brand is paramount, and you implement an HTML page editor, how do you make sure that what gets posted is visually consistent with the rest of your site? If timeliness of information is what your site visitors expect, how can you enable content to be posted (or removed) from your site, even when the person who handles it is on vacation?

I’ve developed solutions to meet these needs and many more. In fact, a properly-engineered CMS can solve a host of common web site challenges, from facilitating ADA compliance, to insuring adherence to your company’s disclosure guidelines. I'm known for helping my clients achieve results and work efficiencies that they didn’t even know were possible.

For many organizations, it doesn’t make sense for just one person to be the gate keeper for all web site administration. This may be due to the sheer volume of site updates, or because of departmental ownership of specific site areas. This often raises important issues of managing access privileges and of establishing approval and publishing procedures.

Here are some of the common questions I hear:

• Can I grant and restrict access to specific features of the CMS to insure that users can only modify their own areas of the web site?
• Can I have a staging area for stakeholders to preview site changes before they go live?
• What editing or approval mechanisms will I have?

I can help you to evaluate your web content needs, current roles and resources, and assist you with establishing the process through which content will flow from creation, to editing and approval, to actual deployment.
