Melton South Community Centre Revamp
The Melton South Community Centre did have a free website which was put together as part of the Federal government's “Work for the Dole Program”. The site was not particularly up-to-date and had a few other problems. It was time for an overhaul. Drupal came to the rescue.
Content Management Systems
Content Management Systems or CMS are software systems that allow users or groups of users to update content on a web site.
- Do you want to update your site regularly with new articles and information?
- Will your site be updated by several users and be able to keep track of changes?
- Do you want to have online product catalogues or shopping carts?
- Do you want to use your site to keep a group/community of users informed?
If you answered yes to any of those questions then chances are you will need a CMS.
The Advantages of Drupal
It is easy to use & update
You can update your own site when you want - where you want - without fuss. No need to get your web designer to do it for you. Using a properly configured WYSIWYG editor like TinyMCE, you can even paste content from Word and have it take out all those tag peculiar to MS Word.
Value for money
Drupal is open source software, so you don't need to pay any licensing fees or development costs.
Reliable & Secure
Drupal has an extensive and active community supporting it. It is constantly being improved and is subject to extensive testing so you can count on it to be rock solid.
Search-Engine Friendly
It can be configured for friendly URLs. Content output is designed to be standards compliant which will not not help boost your search engine rankings but be accessible as well.
Modular and Extendible
You can add extra features like blogs, forums, e-commerce and calendars if you wish. There are multitudes of third party modules to choose from to extend Drupal.
Basic Static Site
A basic static site consists of several pages, usually around 4 to 5 pages: home, about, services and contact. It is good for a one-way flow of information, from your site to the visitors.
This would suit a small to medium sized business that wants to give a bit more information about products and services. A basic static site is ideal for sites that update every now and again. You can make the changes yourself and upload them by FTP.
We offer 6 free updates per year for every site we design and host.
Website Redesigns
- Is your website up to date?
