Content Management Systems can range from low to high in regard to cost. Some web companies invest in building their own CMS and only offer these to clients. Because of maintenance and updates costs can skyrocket.

We offer WordPress as our Content Management System for customers. WordPress is and open-source application that is free to use and can be run on almost any server using PHP and MYSQL. With over 40% of the web using WordPress, it has a great team of developers who stand behind the software and regularly work to improve the system.
