TriMark Solutions develops full content management systems that are versatile enough to handle your content management requirements. Some of the technologies and systems we've used include:

Drupal

The Drupal Content Management System is a software package which allows users to quickly and easily post new content to a website. Because Drupal is so functionally complex, the software allows for individual publishers or large groups of individuals and posters to easily add fresh, unique content to company and product webpages. Across the web, Drupal continues to be one of the most well-known and most often utilized Content Management Systems available.

Almost limitless Drupal add-ons and plug-ins are available online, which allow for the content management system to easily be used for:

• Blogs
• E-commerce
• Forums
• P2P Networking
• Image Galleries
• File Uploads
• Scheduled Recurring Content Updates (such as newsletters, emails, and calendar events)

Like Joomla!, Drupal was designed as a CMS specifically to be used for websites involved in e-commerce, online sales, etc. However, due to the many new add-ons, Drupal is now widely used to manage content on websites of all kinds.

WordPress

Due to the extreme popularity of casual and professional blogging, perhaps the most well-known content management system is WordPress. Unlike Joomla and Drupal, WordPress was designed specifically for blogging. WordPress was also built on PHP and MySQL, and aside from its enormous popularity, WordPress also thrives due to its ease of use and user friendliness. WordPress also offers a huge selection of customizable themes and options, making it unique to any style and preference.

Perhaps the best feature of the WordPress CMS is abundance of Plug-ins available. Some plug-ins help streamline categories, topics, and search options, while others focus on standardizing page formats, titles, and tags, for better SEO. WordPress plug-ins also allow the CMS a more diverse range of uses. Much greater than the simple blogging capabilities which the original version was limited to. WordPress HTML coding can be a bit tricky, as the CMS is not fully compatible with all HTML tags and commands.

TriMark Solutions uses a WordPress themed blog for Inside TriMark. Visit our blog to see an example of a strategic WordPress CMS in action.

Joomla!

Joomla! is a popular open source CMS used to control and publish content on specific websites and webpages. Much like WordPress, Joomla! is written in PHP and stores information in MySQL. TriMark Solutions uses Joomla! for many online applications, including:

• Client Websites & Portals
• Online Newsletters, Magazines, & Publication Sources
• E-Commerce & Online Purchases
• Non-profit Organizational Sites
• School, Education, & Church Websites

Because Joomla! is such a flexible and diverse CMS, the Joomla! platform is capable of managing various forms of content from simple text and images, to music, videos, and documents. Like other content management systems, Joomla! is designed to be highly user-friendly, requiring very little knowledge of website design, development, and upkeep. Joomla! websites allow users to create, manage, and update professional websites with minimal knowledge and effort required.
