Do you have a small business website built in HTML? Such sites can only be edited by webmasters using HTML editing tools. There is a new wave of small business websites that can be edited and updated by ANYONE who has basic computer skills.
You heard me right. If you upgrade your website to a Content Management System or CMS you can then edit it yourself. You’ll pay to have your site converted but then you’ll be saving on webmaster fees whenever you edit the site yourself.
One of the more popular CMS editors is called WordPress. This former blogging tool can now be used to manage a complete website. Not only that, but WordPress makes blogging and search engine optimization a lot easier.
