Today’s customers place a greater value on transparency. As a result, they now expect to participate in the corporate environment. Content Management Systems focus on providing value to the user. If you don’t provide value, then the user will go elsewhere.
Content Management Systems are the MOST Important Components of Today’s Businesses.
Think of a CMS – Content Management System as a Virtual Storefront – When you walk into a store, how do you choose a product? Do you like to browse? Do you like to analyze? Do you like to watch a video of the product? How do you figure out if that product will be right for you?
Providing the user with an interactive and customizable flow of information conveys one’s story in a way that is uniquely useful. Interactive technology allows us the ability to guide our audience through a compelling narrative. Digital storytelling keeps users engaged, creates a valuable experience while reinforcing a company’s expertise and credibility.

Themes
WordPress users may install and switch between themes. Themes allow users to change the look and functionality of a WordPress website and they can be installed without altering the content or health of the site. Every WordPress website requires, at least, one theme to be present. Every WordPress theme should be designed using some standards with structured PHP, valid HTML, and CSS. Today, JavaScript and jQuery are being used to add responsiveness to the themes.
Themes may be installed using the WordPress “Appearance” administration tool or theme folders may be uploaded via FTP. The PHP, HTML (HyperText Markup Language) and CSS (Cascading Style Sheets) code found in themes can be added to or edited for providing advanced features. WordPress themes are in general classified into two categories, free themes, and premium themes. WordPress users may also create and develop their own custom themes if they have the knowledge and skill to do so.
Plugins
WordPress’s plugin architecture allows users to extend its features. WordPress has over 50,000 plugins available, each of which offers custom functions and features enabling users to tailor their sites to their specific needs. These customizations range from search engine optimization to client portals used to display private information to logged in users, to content displaying features, such as the addition of widgets and navigation bars. But not all available plugins are always abreast with the upgrades, and as a result, they may not function properly or may not function at all.
