Benefits of Syrup over a conventional CMS

Having a CMS is crucial for your business to stay competitive. Particularly with the increased requirement for more relevant content, to enhance your SEO and generate traffic to your website. A good CMS should provide a way for you to regularly update your website with ease, ensuring your content remains fresh and up-to-date.

What 3 things should a great CMS provide?

1. Most importantly a CMS provides a friendly interface. It should be easy to navigate, even for the most technically challenged. As a system your business will use frequently, you want it to be as hassle-free when it comes to uploading a piece of content or making changes to a previous article.
2. Flexibility, you want your CMS to grow and change as your business does. For example, if you double your product catalogue you want your CMS to be able to support and maintain your site speed with the increase of data and traffic.
3. A responsive CMS website that saves you time, the content you upload should work seamlessly on all devices; mobile, tablet and desktop. This means you only have to upload one version of your content.

Achieving these key factors is often difficult with an off-the-shelf CMS, you are limited to templated solutions in both design and functionality, running the risk of looking like everyone else. This can also be a problem when it comes to hardcoded websites because they can be inaccessible and a hassle when you need to make small changes and updates. This is why both hardcoded and off-the-shelf websites are not always viable long-term solutions for generating traffic and growing your business.

When we developed our CMS, Syrup, we designed it to be an intuitive system. A CMS that could be tailored to each businesses’ unique needs, whilst supporting growth. At iCandy Design, we know that when it comes to websites there is not a one size fits all solution.
