» Content Mangement Solutions

There are two parts to developing a web site for your organization. Once you have a site designed and online, it has been born. In order to keep it alive, however, you have to keep the content of the website fresh and relevant. As new news, events, accomplishments, etc. occur within your organization, telling the world about them is a great way to keep a website new and worth coming back to again and again. As with any product, a website’s success depends largely on the value added to it each step of the way.

Rocket Mouse Productions provides two options in terms of acting as your content management solution once your custom web design is complete.

Externally Powered

The Rocket Mouse staff can maintain your site updates for you, coordinating with your organization as new content is available. The standard rate for this service is $50/hr, with a minimum fee of $15.00 for any batch of content you wish delivered to the web. To save time and money when choosing this option, the best thing you can do is have the content in an electronic format (text is preferred in .txt or .doc files rather than .pdf), and send small batches of content to be updated rather than one item at a time.

Internally Powered

Another content management solution Rocket Mouse can provide (and in many cases recommends) is to develop and maintain the site via a content management software package called Mambo. That way, you can be given access to a web interface that would empower you to update many of the areas on your website quickly and easily, in which case the only cost to you would be time. Rocket Mouse can provide the training you need to make changes through this method, and in only a couple of hours you can hold the power of updating your new website in your own hands, from anywhere with a web browser and internet access.

The Decision is Yours

Rocket Mouse is pleased to offer either of these content management services to you. Remember, though, that whatever solution you wish to implement must be decided early on, because how your site is developed in the design process is heavily dependent on how much control your organization will desire over its content management in the future.
