Content Management System (CMS)

One of the real benefits of choosing The Business Detective to build you a Website is that we use WordPress or other applications like Joomla that provide their own content management system. This means you can be in as much control of your own website as you would like.

Statistics suggest that WordPress has over 493 Million Websites using its software across the World which accounts for approximately 45% of all Websites.

Our Websites have a simple user interface meaning that once your Website is built, it is easy to update Pages, Products, Services, Add News items or change your website layout.

As part of our onboarding process we will ask questions to understand how in control you want to be when it comes to editing and maintaining your own website.

We can then make recommendations and quote accordingly.

When the Website is built we provide ‘How to guide’s’ for basic editing tasks like updating pages. We also continue to provide support form a distance for those more complex editing functions.
