Custom content management systems are needed:
- when it is more efficient to enter and display the information using a database; and
- third party systems are not able to cost-effectively be adapted to suit the requirements.
The custom modules integrate seamlessly with the rest of the site, and can be used in conjunction with most other methods of managing content.
Examples
We have put custom systems to work for a range of applications for our clients, including:
- product management systems
- managing media releases
- administering image galleries, online surveys and forms
- calculator applications
- banner ad rotator
- events management
- posting job vacancies and collecting and archiving resumes
Applications and Intranets
A couple of points are worth mentioning to put custom systems in context. Firstly, custom systems are programmed applications, which often change over time to accommodate an organisation's specific needs.
Secondly, your organisation will update the information entered into custom systems by logging into a secure admin area, which often evolves into or is assimilated by your Intranet. After all, posting information to the Internet is the same process as administering information to be used internally.
