FIT YOUR BUSINESS

simple tools that fit your business

Your website should make it easy to keep your business information current without requiring you to become a web developer.

At 11 Fingers Design, we build websites with content management tools that fit the way you actually work. That might mean a full Content Management System (CMS), an e-commerce platform with built-in editing tools, or a custom solution that lets you update just the information that changes regularly.

The goal isn't to give you more technology to manage. It's to give you simple, practical control over your website content.

The right CMS for Your Business

Not every business needs the same level of content management.

For a website with frequently changing pages, articles, staff information or other dynamic content, a full CMS can provide the flexibility your team needs.

But sometimes a business only needs to update a few specific things: employee profiles, project galleries, product information, announcements, events or other regularly changing content. In those cases, a custom management interface can be simpler and easier to use than putting the entire website inside a large CMS.

We can build tools around what you need to manage, rather than forcing your business to adapt to the software.

Content management options can include:

  • Full-site Content Management Systems
  • WordPress development and customization
  • E-commerce content and product management
  • Blog and news publishing tools
  • Staff and directory management
  • Portfolio and project management
  • Events and calendar management
  • Custom administrative dashboards
  • Purpose-built editing tools for specific website content

Do You Need a Full CMS?

Content Management Systems are powerful, but more isn't always better.

A full CMS can give your staff tremendous flexibility. It can also introduce additional software updates, plugins, security considerations and ongoing maintenance. Giving users control over every page and every design element may sound appealing, but it can also make a website more complicated to maintain and easier to accidentally break.

A more focused system can often provide a better balance.

If you only need to manage certain areas of your website, we can create tools specifically for those tasks while keeping the rest of the site professionally designed and maintained.

You get control where you need it without unnecessary complexity everywhere else.

Flexibility, Security and Simplicity

Choosing a content management platform involves tradeoffs.

Flexibility

A larger CMS can provide extensive functionality and a wide range of third-party extensions. Custom systems can provide exactly the functionality your business needs without unnecessary features.

Ease of Use

The best editing system is one your staff can actually use comfortably. A focused interface may be much easier to learn than a large general-purpose CMS.

Security

Popular CMS platforms require regular updates and careful management of themes, plugins and extensions. A smaller custom solution can reduce the number of components that need to be maintained, although custom software requires responsible development and ongoing support of its own.

Growth

Your website needs may change. We consider what you need today as well as how the website may need to expand in the future.

Maintenance

Every platform requires some level of care. We'll help you understand what ongoing maintenance your chosen solution requires before you commit to it.

Choosing the Right Platform

There isn't one content management system that's right for every website.

That's why we start with your business instead of starting with a platform.

What content will you need to change? How often will it change? Who will be making those changes? Do multiple people need different levels of access? Will the website need new functionality later? How important are integrations with other business systems?

Once we understand those needs, we can recommend an approach that makes sense.

Sometimes that's a proven, full-featured CMS. Sometimes it's an e-commerce platform. And sometimes the best answer is a custom website with a few exceptionally simple tools behind it.

You Run the Business. We'll Handle the Website.

You shouldn't have to think about themes, plugins, software versions or technical architecture every time you need to change something on your website.

We'll help you choose and build a content management solution that gives you the control you need while keeping the technology where it belongs: behind the scenes.

You Don't Have to Manage It Yourself

A good content management system gives you the freedom to make updates yourself. But that doesn't mean you have to spend your time doing it.

With 11 Fingers Website Updating & Support, you can send your website changes to us and get back to running your business. From updating text and photos to adding new pages, products, staff members or other content, we're here when you'd rather have someone else handle it.

You get the flexibility of a website that's easy to manage and the support of a team that can manage it for you.

Your website. Your choice. Update it yourself, or let us take care of it.
