The CMS will track who is doing what, avoiding potential confusion. • You can even ensure that each staff person can only update the sections of the site they are responsible for. • The CMS ensures that all the pages are consistent in design, and will build all the menus and other navigation for you. • The many other powerful features of the CMS allows the site to grow in sync with your business. http://www.steptwo.com.au/papers/cmb_needcms/index.html WANT TO TWEET? #nad
