Website Content Management System

Details of the bespoke, spider-friendly, kContent CMS are listed below, but for those that are unsure what a Website Content Management System is and if they need one, here is a brief explanation:

Most of the websites on the World Wide Web are not built inside a content management system, (CMS). The majority of websites are “flat” sites controlled by a webmaster, or web designer, using website authoring software, and uploading and downloading files to the host server using File Transfer Protocol (FTP). A website, coded within a content management system, has its own inbuilt authoring software and saves the information on a database, dynamically displayed through a template system, eliminating the need for FTP and client side web authoring software.

Do I need a CMS?

If your website doesn’t require hourly, or even daily changes, you probably don’t need to go to the extra expense of having your site built within a Content Management System. If you are constantly adding content and making changes and improvements to your website and you want to make the changes yourself, or at least keep control of the website inhouse, without the need to learn HTML, PHP or ASP, then a website CMS is likely the best choice for you.

The majority of websites sites don’t usually require hourly or daily updates, so the cost of paying a web designer to make changes to a flat site, every now and then, is probably the most cost-effective option.

Flat Sites v Content Managed Sites

Traditionally, flat sites, written in non-dynamic HTML or PHP, are more spider friendly than off-the-shelf content management systems, very few of which are written with a view to appearing on the front pages of the search engines – or in many cases – appearing anywhere on the search engines. Bespoke content management systems can fair better on the search engines, if the web designer designs the CMS with SEO in mind, but sadly, in our experience, even the majority of bespoke content managed websites, are not written with search engine optimisation in mind and they tend to be expensive in the extreme.

kContent CMS

That’s where the Kenkai team step into the breach! We have developed a fully spider-friendly content management system, which is not only simple to use, with the functionality that you need, but also allows you fully optimise each of the pages on your website. When a search engine spider visits a kContent CMS solution, it treats each page as a flat page, not dynamically driven, allowing the content and head tags to be fully indexed and for the targeted search phrases to achieve worthwhile search engine rankings

kContent Bespoke Content Management Systems

• Easy to Use - We have designed the kContent CMS so that anyone that can use a keyboard and that can write a letter in word processing software, such as Microsoft Word, can create their own web pages and run their own website. The spider friendly pages are created on a simple to use WYSIWYG editor, so there is no need to learn HTML and you need no programming knowledge to use the kContent CMS
• Worldwide Access – Our content management system is written in PHP and uses a secure mySQL database. It is fully password protected and can be accessed, via a web browser, by anyone in your organisation that has editing rights, from anywhere in the world.
• We set it up and publish it for you – We handle the design and publishing of the website with the initial content. We optimise the original content, where required, as well as the page titles and head tags – then you take over from there. We give up to one and a half hours of initial training on the system, with telephone and email back-up, if required. We do find, however, that most clients are comfortable in using their kContent CMS with half an hour’s training.
• No Ongoing Costs – Once your website has been designed, built and published, you are supplied with a kContent CMS licence, giving you the lifetime rights to use the content managment system on the specified website and to assign the rights to use the software solution to any future owner of the specified website.

Development Costs

Our spider-friendly content managed websites are bespoke and usually optimised at the point of development, so the cost of a website written and optimised inside a kContent CMS system varies depending on the size and nature of the site and the complexity of the clients feature requirements.

For example; designing, developing and optimising a 6 page content managed website for the local butcher, will cost less than a 300 page site website that features, (and needs to be optimised for), every breed of dog and that features an integrated online kennel booking system. The cost of development is simply down to how much time we have to spend developing the website.

A kContent optimised CMS will usually cost more than a standard off-the-shelf product, as it is a far superior product to any of the non-optimisable, off-the-shelf CMS systems that we have found in the marketplace. As a bespoke product, however, our search engine friendly content management system is competitively priced, compared to the bespoke CMS solutions offered by the majority of our competitors. Most CMS solutions can be built and published within 3 to 5 weeks, depending on the size of the site.
