Overview
Outbox Media LLC specializes in building customized content management solutions for its clients. Content management is a concept that gives Web site content authors and other permissible users the ability to manage Web site content simply and effectively without the dependency on an outside party or proprietary software/knowledge. Content management control over a Web site extends to virtually all of the text and images included in a site.

Outbox Media has created a powerful and convenient Content Management System (CMS) for both open source (Linux, Apache, MySQL, PHP) and Microsoft (WinOS, IIS, ASP, SQL) platforms. CMS is a stand-alone Web system designed to be flexible and customizable from one client or project to another. Outbox Media works closely with its clients to determine the unique needs during the strategic planning process of a project to determine the content management requirements of the project.

Once those requirements are understood and confirmed, Outbox Media custom configures the Content Management System to support them. Each CMS configuration is unique and is hosted along side the Web site that it supports. Outbox Media does not host any part of the system nor do we charge any ongoing fees associated with the Content Management System.


What is a Content Management System?
Content Management is the concept of building interactive Web sites that allow the Web site owner/content author to manage the content of their site without any knowledge of HTML or Web development software. Common Content Management solutions use a Web-based interface to interact with the back end of the site to perform changes to the site's content. CMS give the end user the to create and edit Web site content using nothing more than a browser.

The Content Management solutions that Outbox Media provides are tailored to the needs of the Web sites they serve. Most Content Management companies will force fit a Web site to their canned Content Management system. This approach limits the capabilities of the Web site and compromises the options for managing content. The approach we take at Outbox Media is to create a custom CMS that is specifically designed to serve the content management needs of your site.

By using a customized solution, Content Management strategies are designed around the needs of the Web site - not the tool. This provides a more scalable solution that is flexible enough to grow with the site.
