Content Management
The best and most successful websites are websites that keep the user interested. Statistics show that a user is considerably more likely to return to a website that is constantly updated, and Search Engines such as Google generally rank sites higher when they see constant updates to the content on a site. There are two ways in which a website can be updated. Either you, the client, will provide the web developer with content and the web developer will place the content in for you, or a Content Management System can be used to allow you, to update the website whenever you like from your own computer.
SWiM specializes in building websites that put you, in control of your own website. This enables you to decide exactly when, where and whatever content you wish to update or add to your site. You may need to update your list of staff members, you may wish to add new articles to your news session or you may want to add a completely new page. This can all be done using SWiM's preffered Content Management System 'Adobe Contribute'.
Adobe Contribute is designed to allow people with no knowledge of web design or coding, to easily edit, update and add new content to a website. Basically if you can use Word, or Powerpoint, you can use Adobe Contribute.
Some of the features include:

Image Editing
One problem our clients come across when managing the content of their own websites is that the images they have are generally too large or the incorrect size for web and this can cause all sorts of issues with the layout and functionality of their website. Therefore the images need to be resized and 'optimised' for web in some sort of photo editing software such as Adobe's Photoshop product. Until now, this has mean't purchasing and installing new software on each computer just for the purposes of resizing images. Adobe has now solved this issue by releasing a very basic web based version of their Photoshop product named 'Photoshop.com'.
You can also find mobile versions of Photoshop.com for iPhone, iPad and Android based devices.
For anyone managing the content of their own website, we advise you to visit and bookmark the following link - www.photoshop.com for easy image editing.
