So, do you need a brochure website or a content managed website?

What's the difference?

Just some points to consider...

Brochure Websites

Simple websites that provide information.   They do not generally need to be updated regularly.  This type of site is much cheaper but once it is delivered, you will have to either learn to modify it yourself if you want to make changes, even slight ones or go back to a developer which can be costly. 

Initially much cheaper to have developed Tend to be cheaper to host Typically quicker to load than a database driven site

Less versatile Can be more expensive in the long run if you want to make any changes Interface design not as easy to update

Content Managed Websites and Database-driven websites

This type of website is dynamic and generally provides additional interactivity for your website users.  Generally provides more complex functionality and can be updated anytime, anyplace, anywhere – by non-IT staff members.  These options are generally very intuitive and depending on option, can automate a lot of the hard work such as the menu navigation etc.  Our open-source content managed website solutions are very easy to use and are search-engine-friendly as standard.  We also provide bespoke interface designs and a whole host of other options to suit almost any SME business model.

Great versatility Long-term cost effectiveness Relatively quick to implement complex functionality Cutting-edge technology Interface design can be very quickly updated IT skills not required to manage and administer Easy to install additional functionality if business requirements change Can update interface design with seasonal skins/templates

Initially more up-front costs Can be more costly to host Typically slower to load than a simple brochure site

eCommerce Websites

This type of website enables you to sell your products or services online.  This is an extension of the basic content management website so you have all of that functionality in addition to the eCommerce function. Our versatile 'bolt on' eCommerce modules that can handle almost any eCommerce requirement such as direct selling, subscriptions, variable pricing for user groups, online booking, leasing and so on.
