Content Management Systems

Alchemy Interactive can develop tailor made content management systems, to enable you and your staff to update, almost anything on your website, intranet or extranet. This provides you with all the tools you need to take control of one of your most valuable assets.

The key to a successful CMS tool is to ensure it meets your business needs and is very simple and straight forward to use. The art of simplifying processes and making intuitive interfaces is one of Alchemy Interactive's greatest skills. We also provide training and walkthrough guides on our CMS systems to ensure your staff have everything they need to hit the ground running.

What is a CMS System?

Simply put, a CMS system is a tool which helps you manage the content on your website. It can be something as simple as help you add, edit and delete copy and pages on your website, or a more complicated application which provides a whole host of additional functionality.

CMS features can include, but are not limited to:

• Adding, editing and deleting pages / content to a website
• Formatting of content on pages (typeface, indentation, tables)
• Identification of all key users and their content management roles
• The ability to assign roles and responsibilities to different content categories or types
• Definition of workflow tasks for collaborative creation, often coupled with event messaging so that content managers are alerted to changes in content (for example, a content creator submits a story, which is published only after the copy editor revises it and the editor-in-chief approves it.);
• The ability to track and manage multiple versions of a single piece of content;
• The ability to capture content (e.g. scanning)
• The ability to publish the content to a repository to support access to the content (nb: increasingly, the repository is an inherent part of the system and incorporates enterprise search and retrieval)
• Separation of content's semantic layer from its layout (for example, the CMS may automatically set the colour, fonts, or emphasis of text).
