SASS can develop your organizations website in a number of ways

SASS::CMS is a lite open source Content Management System (CMS) that is developed by Social Action Support Services. The advantage to using SASS::CMS above the other CMS's is that it is developed in-house. This enables SASS to implement new/custom features much faster than using plugins for the other CMS's because too much time is spent deciphering and re-writing someone else's code to work in some framework. Instead SASS can develop a plugin that will precisely address your need in a fraction of the time. Regardless, SASS has already developed many of the desired features. On top of general content management, SASS::CMS has components for a blog, gallery and newsletter. More components are in active development. Many of the advantages to using SASS::CMS could be seen as disadvantages as well. SASS::CMS is young and has just been released out into the wild. It does not have the large communities of developers that the more popular CMS's have. You can read more about SASS::CMS at www.sass-cms.net.

The site can be constructed using only HTML and CSS files. However, some JavaScript and/or Flash/Action Script might be used where appropriate. This will result in individual files for each individual page. These files will be editable in any text editor or HTML editor. However, editing any Flash elements will require the use of Macromedia's Flash program.

The site can be constructed using Dreamweaver. This route will take advantage of some of Dreamweaver's short-cut and templating methods. However, further updates will require the use of Macromedia's Dreamweaver program and knowledge of how to use its advanced functions.

The site can be constructed using the Open Source Perl Template Toolkit. This route has a similar out come to using Dreamweaver, however further updates will not require any proprietary software but will require knowledge of Template Toolkit.

Joomla, Mambo, Druple, etc. are just a few examples of CMS's that are widely used. The advantages to using a CMS are many. It allows different users to add and update content on the site without needing any real knowledge of HTML. Furthermore, you don't have to get the development team involved for basic updates of content. However, with this route does add a good bit of complexity to the site's structure. The core code of the CMS will need to be kept up-to-date. Though security is always a concern, the use of a CMS requires some careful attention and maintenance.
