Content Management Systems (CMS) based sites allow for some or most of the content to be edited and managed by the clients. There can be varying levels of user rights that can be set for editing, sections and/or approval. a  CMS is based around a theme in which a graphic designer can create the look and feel of a site.  If you so choose there are also free and for purchase themes available.

Custom designed websites have been a staple since the founding of Kinetic Web Solutions. Though many customers are now utilizing a CMS based site, there is still a large appetite for custom sites.

All of our custom websites include an extensive administration panel, so from the customer update and editing perspective, it feels like a Content Management System. The difference is that this type of website frequently requires custom application development as part of the system. Such a site might include something like; university level testing, having visitors build greeting cards on line, requirements to handle thousands of requests simultaneously, or interactively designing a new look for your kitchen. When heading into the completely customized realm of web design, the only limit is your imagination and budget.

It’s unfair to say that a CMS based site is not custom, most of them are, but they are built within the limits of the core engine and additional plug-ins may be required to meet the needs of a client. Custom sites are built from scratch. Clients requesting this service from us usually have not been able to find the appropriate CMS with the right plug-ins that meet their needs or they require a professional organization to build the site.  At times additional research is required to help solve a unique business problem.

For those that want to pick and/or purchase their own WordPress or Drupal theme, but don’t want to build their site out, Kinetic Web Solutions can help with that! Once we receive or download your theme, a member of our team will discuss your overall site strategy and requirements. If you are hosting with us, we will set up a staging area where you can view the changes and updates on a regular basis prior to the launch of your new site.

On many sites the bulk of the information is made up of static pages, which are basic information-oriented pages built with text and graphics. Unlike database driven pages or e-Commerce pages, these pages are built and maintained by our team. We will convert any existing promotional materials you provide into a web based format and create attractive, easy-to-read pages.

This type of site is perfect for a very small business. There is no upfront cost unless you what a customized banner, you simply pay the monthly hosting fee.

Quick and easy to populate template sites are a great option for small shops and independent contractors.  One of our offerings in this category is Kinetic Express.  Simply pick a template, define your number of pages (up to five,) upload your content (or have us do it,)  and launch your new site!

If you’re not sure what type of site will fit your needs, our consultation services can be a big help.
