Keep your content fresh, agile, and attractive.

Build your website on a CMS that is easy to use and maintain and delivers on your brand experience.

Regardless of size or product/service offering, every organization must take great care in handling its online presence in today’s web-centered world. Your company website is one of the top sources people refer to when learning about your company. Make managing your website easier with a content management system (CMS). A CMS is a web application that enables multiple users to author and edit content using a web browser. It eliminates the need for desktop software to update your website content and provides 24/7 updating access anywhere you have an Internet connection. Using a CMS to manage your website puts the control back in your hands.

While typical web development companies tend to use a one-size-fits-all approach for content management, at Creative Hive Labs, we offer various options from open source to custom development to provide the best solution that fits your specific needs. We have extensive experience in WordPress, as well as building proprietary Content Management Systems.

Delivering the kind of user experience your website visitors expect is easy when your site’s technology is built on is secure, robust, and scalable.

Create a Web Site that Meets Your Unique Requirements

Every organization has a unique set of objectives for its website. That’s why the first step in our development process is to learn as much as we possibly can about your organization and goals. We want to understand your market and how you do business to create a design plan that is both user-friendly and technically sound. If you are working with an outside design agency, we’d love to speak to them, too. We will then detail our strategy in a functional specification document. This all happens before we start writing a single line of code.

Content Management Systems

Technology Designed for Future Success

Once we have a design plan agreed upon that will achieve your goals and objectives for your website, we will get to work developing a UI and backend that you are going to love. You will be in constant contact with your delivery manager since we use a hybrid agile/scrum development methodology. This will allow you to see the site come to life as development milestones are reached, make minor changes along the way, and be in constant communication with someone who understands the website, your goals, and the technology.

Benefits of Using CMS Systems

  • Anyone can edit anywhere, anytime — non-technical staff with basic word-processing knowledge can add or edit content, allowing you to reduce website maintenance costs and minimizing your need for an internal website support team.
  • Improve website security with different levels of user roles and permissions for staff to prevent them from changing content and functionality that they are not authorized to alter.
  • Improve your internet and direct marketing efficiency with easy scheduling and dynamic content to integrate your digital and SEO campaigns.
  • Ensure enterprise design consistency — an enterprise CMS has content stored in a database, the UI is separate, and a shared repository for images and other media.

Why We Leverage WordPress as an Enterprise CMS Solution

Powerful content management coupled with a user-friendly interface.

Typically, an enterprise website requires handling significant traffic; however, what constitutes an enterprise business can vary. Enterprise sites often accommodate localization, multilingual content, and multiple sites. These solutions also require complex access requirements such as clearly defining roles, permissions, and capabilities.

Over the years, WordPress has grown from a basic blogging platform to one of the most popular and fully functional content management systems mature enough to handle the above requirements. Today, WordPress powers 42.6% of the internet, consisting of many enterprise-level sites from various industries, including media, finance, entertainment, education, politics, government, and more.

In our global business environment, it’s critical that you respond to your customers and the market quickly and easily — your website is your first line of communication. Creative Hive Labs offers a full range of CMS and ECM services that give you the control you need, increase the effectiveness of your website, and can reduce the cost of controlling your business.

WordPress is a proven CMS that handles several applications, millions of users, and 10-100M views a month, which is why it has become a desirable solution for enterprises today and one of our top picks for a CMS solution. Creative Hive Labs’s experts in WordPress configuration, optimization, and customization are ready to help you create a unique CMS setup that will provide you with high flexibility, scalability, affordable costs, a user-friendly environment, high-security standards, and more.

Benefits of WordPress as an Enterprise CMS

Security

To ensure the protection of an organization’s data and user and customer information, Creative Services QAT Global uses best practices and takes every precaution to make an enterprise CMS fully secure. With consistent updates and security releases, WordPress exceeds this essential need for security, and you can be certain your site is safe from the most common hacks. We utilize several top-notch security plugins such as Sucuri Security, Wordfence, and Defender to protect your site further. Additionally, such plugins allow for several advanced security features, including IP blocking and multi-factor authentication.

WordPress will automatically handle minor core updates; however, major updates and server updates may need to be done manually. For enterprise companies, a managed WordPress host will help reduce that technical workload and risk of error.

Headless Capabilities

Initially, traditional CMS’ were designed strictly for websites; however, as technology evolves, having headless content management capabilities is becoming more critical for enterprise companies wishing to remain relevant. In the era of IoT, companies require a much more complex set of distribution channels, such as wearable devices, voice assistants, virtual reality, etc.

Creative Hive Labs is utilizing WordPress’s headless capabilities to deliver scalable digital experiences on an enterprise level. Out-of-the-box, WordPress does not come as a headless CMS solution. However, with the WordPress REST API, WordPress can be used as a headless CMS solution, allowing developers to populate and deploy content using several different technology channels with API capabilities.

International Capabilities

Creative Hive Labs understands that network scalability on a global level is critical for enterprise applications. That’s why we use WordPress to help your enterprise CMS effectively reach a global audience, as it is available in over 100 languages and has several WordPress translation plugins to help tailor your content for global visitors.

With just the switch of a button, WordPress enables readers from around the globe to seamlessly access your site’s content in their language of preference.

Reliability

Enterprise sites are the main point of contact between your customers and your organization itself, making it crucial for your site to be consistently available and active.

To boost your site’s credibility and ensure a positive UX, you need a high up-time. WordPress is a highly reliable enterprise solution; however, your hosting choice is the most important factor in your site’s up-time. Creative Hive Labs can guide you in selecting an enterprise hosting solution that will allow you to maximize your site’s availability with a standard of a 99.95% uptime guarantee.

Enterprise Media Management

Media management is an essential aspect to consider for any enterprise website. The organization of documents, photos, videos, and audio, for example, needs to be easily managed from whatever solution you choose.

With WordPress, you can easily upload essentially any type of media. Creative Hive Labs can set up your WordPress environment to provide a user-friendly interface that allows non-technical administrators to manage the media from the back-end and easily display it on the front-end on pages and posts.

User Management

Creative Hive Labs can leverage WordPress’ Multi-Site capabilities for your enterprise CMS to give you the ability to run a network of subdomains from your main site.

WordPress supports Multi-site through its user role of Super Admins. Super Admins have the ability to set up the network, control user permissions across multiple installations, and completely manage each site’s individual functionalities.

Integration & Industry Support

Due to increasing numbers of major industry companies leveraging WordPress’s capabilities and popularity, third-party integrations and industry support have grown. Companies, including marketing services and software providers, offer integrations and collaborations to benefit many WordPress-based sites.

Plugins, the most obvious and popular industry support and integrations method, work to expand WordPress’s core functionality and user capabilities. Plugins allow you to effortlessly integrate services with your site to boost UX and site flexibility. Examples of plugins designed specifically for WordPress include HubSpot, Salesforce, Marketo, Oracle, SAP, Netsuite, Zapier, Hootsuite, ConvertKit, Sendinblue, and even Google Analytics.

Creative Hive Labs provides expert integration, plugin selection, and setup services so your application can take advantage of these capabilities.
