Web publishing and content management systems

Web publishing

Web publishing is the science and technology of effective and consistent publishing on the web. As content management systems get ever more sophisticated and easy to deploy, the critical issue is becoming their capacity to let normal people with basic web skills publish content that looks professional and consistent.

All too often, websites are launched by their developers looking appropriately professional, but rapidly slide in quality when content is altered by their owners.

With all our websites, web publishing and formatting technologies allow owners and users to achieve sophisticated publishing outcomes without needing to take courses in HTML or web publishing.

CMS Made Simple

CMS Made Simple (CMSMS) is our chosen system for publishing small to medium websites. Its core strengths are flexibility, ease of use and search engine friendliness. We have created and installed successful CMSMS websites for clients ranging from micro-businesses to state governments.

Drupal

Drupal is a superbly built open source CMS that provides unmatched flexibility for publishing content, or creating interactive functionality. It is our chosen system for medium to large websites – particularly those that require user logins, or e-commerce.

If you have big plans for developing your website into the future, you will want a Drupal website.

Magento

Magento is a modern, full featured open source shopping cart. With a complex and highly configurable catalogue, including the capacity for product comparisions, user reviews, upsell and cross sell, Magento shopping carts will always be the best that you can get.

WordPress

WordPress is the publishing platform of choice for many bloggers, thanks to its easy-to-use interface and features designed specifically for blog publishing. At Acorn, we can integrate a WordPress blog with a website built in another CMS so that users will never know they are moving from one platform to another.
