Web Sites and Content Management Systems

What is a Content Management System?

A Content Management System (CMS) is a culmination of Web 2.0 technologies that allow you to manage content of any kind.  The content is delivered through a web site which allows extended access outside normal school hours.

A CMS can be used to tell the world about your school, or to deliver learning resources, you can even have your own helpdesk and lots more.


Web 2.0 and Open Source

Pryer Solutions advocates the use of open source products and in particular Joomla, Moodle and Wordpress are industry standards for creating different kinds of open source CMS.  Below you'll find a selection of CMSs developed by Pryer Solutions, each with quite different purposes...
