Content Management Conversion - Information and Pricing Expectations

Often times, static websites need to be converted to content management systems (CMS). The primary focus of a CMS is to separate the data from the presentation. The approach also provides many advantages such as, template based, built-in admin and security, and reduced maintenance costs. Best of all, no need for applications like Frontpage or long term reliance on HTML coders to make simple changes.

We use open source products such as Mambo and Joomla as the base system and then integrate appropriate modules and industry-specific functionality as needed. We provide guidance in selecting a template and integrating graphics to achieve the desired look and feel.

Below you will find a brief description of services, project steps, deliverables, and some pricing expectations.
