Press Release Summary = According to recent government research, 70% of UK businesses now have websites. However, those that do have websites may not be maximising on their online opportunities if they do not keep their websites up-to-date. Previously, professional content management systems were too expensive for many SMEs. greensplash has launched a web content management system, RefresherCMS, which is a cost-effective and user-friendly professional solution, at last enabling SMEs to create, edit and manage their own website content.
Press Release Body = In March, the Office of National Statistics published a report called "Digital age takes hold but some still miss out", which highlighted the gap between the companies that have websites and those that do not. The report outlined the business benefits of ICT investment, such as website ownership, suggesting that those that do not own a website are missing out.
So, if your business is one of the 70% that has a website, does this mean that you are maximising on all your business opportunities? If your business is one of many that do not update their website regularly, then perhaps you too are missing out on the benefits.
In the past, the options for updating the website were few. Businesses could update the website themselves or pay a web designer - both potentially ineffective/costly routes. The alternative was to use a content management system. While the best solution technically, many businesses simply couldn't afford £10k+ for a content management system. However, there are now more affordable options, which business owners should consider if they are serious about communicating and interacting with their customers.
Northwich-based design and communication agency, greensplash, has developed a new content management system called RefresherCMS, which is aimed at small to medium sized businesses that want a website with updatability functionality, but without the barrier of the heavy cost.
RefresherCMS is part of a full service concept - website planning, design, branding together with content management system capabilities. It will enable businesses to update their own website without the need for HTML or web programming skills and content can be published to the website through a web browser within minutes. In addition, it is search engine friendly, assisting with search engine visibility of the website and all its web pages.
Siu Wan, Business Development Manager at greensplash commented: "With RefresherCMS, many businesses will finally be able to change their website to keep pace with their business, keeping it fresh and interesting to encourage more customers to return to their website. For such a feature-rich and flexible website solution, it is highly cost effective and will help small to medium businesses to fully exploit their online opportunities.
