I get a lot of questions asked while talking to prospective clients and other web designers on content management systems and which is best. First, for those unfamiliar with content management systems (CMS); a CMS enables website owners to update their website (in varying degrees) themselves. The upside in the customer’s view is that it will take less time for changes and also save money if they can do it themselves.
Those in Detroit are familiar with WRIF. It’s the last standing current rock station in the city. WRIF has launched their new website and are now advertising the event on their radio station. Why not, I would too. Half of the commercial states that the new WRIF website will not work on the Internet Explorer 6 (IE6) web browser. Hmm. Makes me wonder if anyone over there at WRIF really thought that through?

The Internet now is very different than it was just 5 years ago. 5 years ago things looked bleak. The Internet was like walking into a crowd of used car salesman each trying to get a hand in your pocket. Ads with jumping frogs and dancing babies were everywhere. What happened? The people spoke…and other people listened. The Internet has become what it was designed for; a vehicle to exchange information. Now we talk to our friends on Facebook and our followers on Twitter. We write business reviews on Yelp. We write blogs and subscribe only to the ones we find useful to us. I’m not saying that ads and commercialism to the web is gone. It is however more how we like it as opposed to how the commerce companies wanted it. Thank goodness.
