Update Your Website Yourself
If you want to have total control or need to update your site on a day to day or weekly basis, then you need a website with a content management system (CMS). We would recommend a normal HTML/CSS site if this not the case, you can always get a CMS upgrade later if necessary.
In general CMS sites are more complicated, take longer to develop and cost more.
The Correct Advice For You
A Content Management System is a database driven website, that can be updated dynamically and with its complexity comes a higher price tag. We will be more than happy to give you advice on which system is appropriate for your needs and guide you on the best solution.
The CMS allows you to easily update text, images, add news pages and even new functionality through the administration interface and database. Our CMS of choice is the WordPress platform, which originally was set up for bloggers, but has become one of the popular and powerful CMS to date with a vast range of plugins and support. Joomla is another system we have used in the past, but we believe WordPress to be easier to use and the support is superior on all fronts.
Benefits Of Wordpress
- Simple user interface, allowing for changes to be made easily
- User friendly, you will be updating in no time
- Extensive choice of plugins for extra functionality
- A vast online community for tips and advice
- The cost is kept down as WordPress is free to download
- Great for news pages
- Constantly supported and updated

"Gusmedia was able to take an unusual, media-heavy project and deliver a website that perfectly met this client's expectations in both its visual appeal and functionality."
"Gusmedia's redesign of the website immediately drew considerably higher traffic to the domain than during its preceding incarnation, and has continued to do so."
"Fergus Wilkie has handled challenging briefs for enhancements to the site, and has quickly provided working solutions at every step. His creative, forward-looking and pragmatic approach has notably enabled my website to stand out from those of my peers."
