Our Best Resources for Your Organization’s Technology
Insights, delivered.
The technology you use to manage your content, integrate your operations, and create experiences/websites for your audiences is just as important as your organization’s next hire.
There are so many options available for technology to employ at your organization. That array itself may leave you asking some questions: What’s the best Content Management System (CMS) for my industry? What emerging technology should we keep an eye on? What exactly does web accessibility mean during web design? It can be overwhelming to evaluate all of these questions on top of your everyday activities.
The Mighty Citizen team has over 20 years of experience integrating new technologies for mission-driven organizations. We’ve carefully crafted resources to help you consider your needs before you make those costly tech decisions. Here are our top technology resources for mission-driven organizations:
How to Choose the Right CMS for Your Organization
Managing a website is much more work than simply creating and publishing it. Dynamic websites could have thousands of pages, images, and pieces of content that you need to keep in order and easily accessible. Your organization needs a Content Management System (CMS).
More often than not, marketers in mission-driven organizations are working against their CMS, and see it as a pain in the you-know-what. However, with the right CMS, managing and building content on your website can be easy like Sunday morning. In this article, our experts break down how to choose the right CMS for your organization.
The Benefits of a Headless Content Management System
What exactly is a headless Content Management System? At a basic level, a traditional CMS allows for storing content, creating templates, and building a web page. A headless CMS offloads templating onto a separate framework outside of the CMS through an API. It sounds like a lot, we know.
Read thoughts from our Lead Front End Developer, Kristine Fernandez, about why a headless CMS may be exactly what your organization needs.
