We provide the best quality and value-for-money online business services for small and medium business. Take a look at the following comparison table and features list with your business in mind to see whether a Managed Site or Content Management System (CMS) Site is best for your needs.
A Managed Site is managed by us. If you want your website out-sourced and the features of our managed sites fulfill your current and probable future needs, this is the ideal solution. Your hosting cost is often cheaper, we turn around your update requests the next business day, you know your site is in good hands and there's one less thing to worry about. You're not locked in, however, in any way. For pricing details click here and contact us if you have any questions.
A Loqium CMS Site provides you with the ability to manage your site yourself - to change text, add pages, change menu items, add new images and much more - through an easy to use Content Management System accessible via your browser. Your hosting cost is a little more, however, because the CMS provides a wide range of web functionality. This means that it's often the best choice even if you'd like us to manage your site. And there's the great part: even if you use the Loqium CMS we're always on-hand to help you whenever you need it.
