A Content Management System is a browser-based interface that allows you to update the content of your website whenever you want. Windy City Sites can install a CMS module for all or portions of your website, and customize the look and feel. Once installed, you can use the administrator tool to add a wide array of content to your site, such as news items, blogs, polls/surveys, banners, RSS news feeds, weather, calendars and more.
WORDPRESS
Originally developed as blogging software, WordPress is now used extensively as an easy-to-use content management tool. If you can use Microsoft Word, you can use the WordPress editor. At Windy City Sites, we’ve developed dozens of websites using WordPress, ranging from simple blogs to intricate ones involving thousands of pages and posts.
JOOMLA!
For some more complex websites, Joomla! is another attractive CMS option. Joomla! features include deep level navigation, sections in sections, and is highly scalable. A great choice for community sites or robust enterprise-level mega sites or intranets.

“I was referred to [WSC head] Tim by a friend and fellow composer. After telling me that Tim went the extra mile and compiled almost everything on the site by researching the composer and his work and scouring the internet for it, I decided that he was the guy I needed to build my site. So glad I did. He took a few simple ideas that I had and "orchestrated" a complete website for me, seamlessly joining my former career with my current career.”
