Who's it for?
All clients for whom I am building a website have the opportunity for it to be managed with the BareBones CMS™.
It is especially tailored toward solo, micro and small businesses.
The system is not for sale as an independent software tool.
BareBones CMS™
Self-manage your website
The BareBones CMS™ is a website content management system (CMS). It allows you to manage your website content without the need for HTML-specific technical training. It's as simple as using word processing software.
Keeping it simple
- Fulfills the most common authoring requirements
- No experience with web coding necessary
- Works from within a web browser
A common criticism of content management systems is that they are too complex for the average requirement. A bit like having a confusing microwave-oven, they can make it difficult to achieve the simplest things.
The BareBones CMS™ is a deliberately lean and simple system that allows you to manage content creation, editing, and site organisation, such as the ability to:
- create, edit and delete web pages
- organise what pages go where
- create, add, edit and delete text-based content:
- headings
- paragraphs
- lists
- tabular data
- add and delete image-based content:
- photos
- photo galleries
- illustrations
- charts/graphs
- add and delete multimedia-based content
- pixel-based animations (such as gif animations)
- vector-based animations (such as Macromedia Flash shockwave files)
- video
- add and delete common document-based content:
- pdf's
- word files
- excel files
- change formatting using specific customised settings:
- alignment of text and images
- choosing pre-existing custom design styles for text and aspects of layout.
