Content Management Systems

Our approach with content management systems

It is our belief that any world class, high quality website should be based on a Content Management System (CMS).

A CMS allows you to manage content from an administration section without the help of a web designer. This greatly aids in keeping the website fresh and up to date – this being a key component of a good user experience

and a high search engine ranking.

Our Approach

Our approach with content management systems

At Lima Bean we are extremely passionate about content management systems and believe that we are one of the leaders in this field, having gained experience with commercial, OpenSource and custom developed CMS’.

Our approach is to analyse requirements and in most instances, will recommend ExpressionEngine, a high quality, commercial CMS that is used by many high volume websites worldwide.

As experts in developing ExpressionEngine CMS’, we have found the benefits to be numerous. If you opt for a custom developed CMS you have no control over the code quality, meaning that if it has not been developed according to generally accepted standards, other companies will be unwilling and unable to maintain the system, locking you into one company for life. Conversely, OpenSource CMS such as Joomla/Drupal (with which we have extensive experience) are in our opinion usually an inferior choice to Expression Engine.

Where requirements are very unique, we will custom develop the CMS – but in doing so, will ensure that we use the most suited development framework according to best practice principles. This results in a system that is stable, scalable and easily maintainable.
