A content management system should make running your website easier, not turn every small change into a job for a developer. The right CMS gives you control over your content while keeping the underlying website structured, reliable and easy to develop.
EDSA Designs provides CMS website design in Exeter and throughout Devon, creating content-managed websites that give businesses straightforward control over the information they regularly need to change.
Our approach to website design and development is to give you the tools your business actually needs. Your administration area can therefore be kept focused and practical rather than being cluttered with hundreds of options you'll never use.
Different businesses need to manage different types of content. Rather than forcing every website into exactly the same off-the-shelf setup, we can build content management tools around the way your website actually works.
That might include managing news, services, testimonials, staff profiles, products, case studies, galleries, pricing, FAQs, events or more specialist business content.
The aim is simple: give you straightforward control over the content you need to change while keeping the more technical parts of the website safely out of the way.
Your website doesn't need to stay exactly as it was on launch day. A well-built content management system can evolve with your business, allowing new sections, functionality and integrations to be added as your requirements change.
From straightforward content-managed business websites through to more advanced database-driven systems, EDSA Designs can create a solution that's easy to maintain today and flexible enough for what comes next.
Because we handle the underlying development ourselves, we're also able to extend the system when standard content management becomes more specialist or business-specific.
Your CMS can be tailored around the areas of your website that change regularly, giving you useful controls without exposing unnecessary technical settings.
Update important website content, create new information and keep key areas of your site accurate without needing to edit the underlying code.
Publish news, projects, case studies and other fresh content using structured forms designed specifically around the information you need to enter.
Manage photographs, galleries and visual content without having to manually edit pages whenever you want to showcase new work or imagery.
Keep staff profiles, customer testimonials and other regularly changing business information current through straightforward administration tools.
Where your website needs to sell online, content management can extend into products, categories, pricing, customers and orders.

Some websites need much more than editable pages. Your business may need to manage bookings, customers, products, memberships, enquiries, documents, locations or other structured information.
This is where bespoke development becomes particularly useful. We can combine your public-facing website with custom database-driven functionality and an administration area designed specifically for the people who need to use it.
That gives you a website that can become a useful part of your day-to-day business rather than simply being an online brochure.
Our own EDSA Designs website uses a structured content management system to maintain portfolio projects. Rather than editing page code for each new case study, we can manage project descriptions, images, skills and featured projects through dedicated administration fields.
This is the same principle we apply to client websites: useful editing tools tailored to the content a business actually needs to manage. Explore our portfolio to see the finished projects.
Being able to update your website also gives you the opportunity to keep important pages useful, accurate and relevant. Fresh case studies, service information, FAQs and other genuinely useful content can all contribute to a stronger website.
We build websites with sensible structure, clean URLs and technical foundations in mind, while our search engine optimisation services can help identify the pages and content worth developing further to improve your visibility in Google.
EDSA Designs is based at Pynes Hill in Exeter and works with businesses throughout Devon as well as clients across the UK. We can build a new content-managed website from the ground up or help develop and improve an existing website that has outgrown its current setup.
Our wider services include bespoke website design and development, eCommerce website development, search engine optimisation, website hosting and bespoke online systems.
Most importantly, we're available after launch. As your website changes, we can continue maintaining, supporting and extending the system rather than leaving you with a platform you're expected to figure out yourself.
