Some companies offer something called a Content Management System (CMS) otherwise referred to as "Click and Build" - A CMS is a software package that allows you to create, edit and publish web pages without needing to learn how to code (though a basic knowledge of HTML is handy). This method offers a web based editing interface that works in a similar way as webmail packages.

Advantages to using CMS

• Much less technical knowledge is required

• No additional software is required

• Some packages provide a range of design templates to chose form

• Changing the look of your site is simple to do without affecting the content

Disadvantages to using CMS

• There can be hidden support costs if you need help

• Some companies will charge you an annual fee to use their systems

• If you have a specific design in mind you may not find an appropriate template

Christian Web Solutions prefer to build using a CMS called Drupal - we charge a one off fee for designing and putting together your site for you (as opposed to just giving you a software package and leaving you to it). Technical support is free and hosting charges are small.
