The sites are released to support specific TV programs online to enable viewers to upload their own videos (in a moderated manner) to support the program Features
  • Rich Media Content
  • Moderated user generated content

This project demonstrates the ability to handle user generated rich media content – on occasion in high volume. User generated content for the FSU Website can initially be expected to take the form of structured (forms and text files) and unstructured (scans and PDF’s) data. As the website develops, a requirement to handle rich media (images and video files) is likely.

A Recent study of 20 Open Source Content Management Systems has shown Wordpress to be twice as popular as all the other systems put together with regards to usage in the top million websites. The benefits of using Wordpress as a CMS

  • A Graphical user interface - WYSIWYG Visual and HTML Editors that allows the editor to create content, add images, multimedia files, and much more

  • URL Control – allows you to create SEO-friendly and descriptive URL’s for your sites pages

  • Custom Content Types - allows you represent any type of content you want. Blog Posts, Attachments, DVDs, Artists etc

  • Custom Taxonomies — a powerful taxonomy (category) system that allows you to organize and tag content

  • Advanced Menu editing system

  • Revision Control — WP saves a new version of your pages every time you are editing, meaning that you can go back to view or revert to old revisions if you want

  • User Management — WP has strong user role and access control functionality. You can create as many custom user roles with custom access levels as you need

Wordpress stands ahead of other CMS for a number of reasons

  • WordPress is free - for personal and commercial use

  • User-friendly - WP is easy for non-technical users - allowing them to edit their website quickly and easily - because of WordPress’s extremely intuitive admin screen

  • Large and Friendly Community – WP is unrivaled when it comes to community size for a CMS. This means that the project will be in a healthy state lomg after alternative systems have become extinct

  • Excellent Documentation – due to its popularity there are a massive number of tutorials, blogs, videos, books and podcasts documenting the system

  • WP has made updating the CMS for security fixes and major feature extensions very simple and easy to do. This saves time and keeps your site reliable and secure

  • Agile development - This means there are notable upgrades every 4-6 months

  • WordPress is fast
