A Content Management System (CMS) is a web solution that allows your team to manage and update your site’s content yourselves. There are lots of CMS options out there, but at their core they all do the same thing. They let your team log onto your website from anywhere and conveniently manage your site’s pages, galleries, articles, blog posts, and products.
You and your team can log onto your CMS from anywhere with an internet connection. Remote management means you can always keep your website up to date, from anywhere, in just minutes.
Without a CMS you need a web development team to update your site. Managing your site’s content autonomously with a CMS is the most cost-effective solution for website updates and content management.
A CMS supplies your team with tools to manage your digital strategy. Not only do you create and publish content, but you can manage and schedule your digital content updates as part of a larger digital strategy.
Most Content Management Systems come with a rich ecosystem of 3rd party plugins. Your CMS will come with a host of prebuilt modules and add-ons, allowing easy integration of additional functionality into your site.
WordPress is our favorite CMS platform for startups, small and medium sized businesses, and larger sites that don’t require complex functionality or custom modules.
WordPress is intuitive, with an easy learning curve, and has a huge offering of prebuilt plugins, allowing all kinds of customization and additional functionality – including calendar, Google Maps, form submission databases, blogging, and simple Ecommerce and online payment systems.
DotNetNuke (DNN) is our favorite CMS platform for large corporate sites and for projects that require advanced functionality or custom developed modules. DNN is an open-source platform (no licensing fee) with a rich ecosystem of modules and plugins, that also allows easy integration of custom-coded functionality and features. DNN is the most cost-effective solution for custom web development.

There are a number of great Content Management System platforms for Ecommerce websites. The CMS we suggest will be based on the specific needs of your project. For B2C and B2B online stores WooCommerce, NopCommerce and Magento are all great options. For custom development projects like C2C and C2B business models we would probably suggest working in DotNetNuke with an Ecommerce module.

How do we design & launch a website tailored to your business goals? What’s it like to work with us?
These are the 4 major steps in project development, from research to launch, that we take on every site we build.
We compile the project details and write the documentation. We research design & user experience (UX) patterns based on the project’s industry and requirements. We create the project strategy & timeline.
We create design variations for the major pages on the site, including options for style, layout, colour & typography. Clients provide feedback and we refine the site designs accordingly. We iterate this process until we get the design just right.
We code the site designs into the final website, integrating 3rd party functionality like plugins, newsletter, Google Maps, and CMS. We perform Quality Assurance testing across major browsers & devices, and we test and optimize website speed.
When the site is approved by the client we bring it online and perform a final test of all features and final optimizations. Then we launch the site. During the early launch cycle, our team will continue to check in on features & performance.
“Insurance Supermarket Inc. has an ongoing working relationship with Trackstar Web Design over 8 years. During that time they had completed over 20 web design projects for our company. The team have always carefully considered our requirements and ensured that the design suited our needs and goals. In addition the designers have introduced their innovative ideas to enhance the esthetics and functionality of our websites. Timely and open communication had made working with Trackstar a pleasant experience.
They are committed to meeting deadlines and able to work within tight timelines. We would highly recommend Trackstar Web Design for their design and exemplary work ethics.”
Maria Konshin, Marketing Manager, Insurance Supermarket Inc.
“When we began working with Gerrit and his team at Trackstar, we were in the initial stages of launching an e-commerce site. We had very little experience in how to go about setting one up correctly and Gerrit took the time to not only educate us on the different strategies and implementations that would be important for us, but also offered design advice to try to maximize our site's impact. His team's knowledge and expertise helped navigate us through what could have been a very intimidating endeavour. They simplified the process so we could focus on developing our product while they took care of the website.
Once our site launched, we continued to engage Trackstar in ongoing support and in adding new features and are very happy with the level of commitment, understanding and enthusiasm they bring in addressing all of our needs.”
Stephen Kelloway, Co-Founder, CG Breakdown Studios
“Choosing Trackstar for our web design needs proved to be one of the best decisions that we have taken for our startup. Working with them was extremely easy and fruitful. We really appreciate having received ongoing support from day one. They also proved to be really involved in the overall process and we felt that they genuinely cared about our business.
All their team was very prompt to answer any of our doubts and went above and beyond to make sure our common vision was accurately represented in the final design. We have been complimented by many customers on the design of both the website and the logo. We couldn’t be happier and more grateful and we would definitely recommend Trackstar Web Design to any business who is looking for a team of professionals willing to take that extra step to achieve a great result!”
Carmelita Ciocoiu, Owner, Escape Rooms Ibiza
“I have been working with Trackstar Web Design for almost a decade now and find them very client-oriented and focused on delivering the best user experience. I highly value their commitment and the fact that they don´t just produce what the client asks for, but instead fight for what the client needs and what delivers the highest level of user experience.
For the past few years all designs on Oxojob have been based on their suggestions and productions!”
Andrei Postoaca, CEO, Clintelica AB
