Page 1 of 2 Paper Tiger Web Design delivers a range of affordable Web services and design to small-medium enterprises. These services range from Content Management Systems to online shops, CRM and Graphic Design. Content Management Systems are websites which allow the system owner to access the content (words, picture and files) directly, using a program similar to Microsoft Word, and change the site without the need for a programmer. This makes the website easy to maintain and ensures that it encourages repeat traffic. Flat sites, which are NOT dynamic - often stay the same for months and rarely give visitors a reason to return.
CRM (Customer Relationship Management) tools provide a way of managing information about your customers and together with CMS, are de rigueur components of large-scale-enterprises. With the advent of Open Source, these products are now affordable developer solutions (such as Paper Tiger) - for use with no licence cost (entry price for CMS systems in 2001 was approximately £30K, rising rapidly to £2-3M for enterprise-scale). This means that smaller companies have a realistic opportunity to operate the same toolsets, as large global organisations.
As dynamic sites are more useful and flexible than flat sites, so they are more complex to deploy and configure. Once the structure has been fixed however, adding and removing articles is very straight-forward, as is adding and removing a product from the shop. An IT consultant will inform you that 80% of system cost is incurred in the maintenance of the system, including ongoing training. By allowing the owners of the site to maintain content and to train new users how to operate the software - enormous savings can be achieved.
