It is the main complaint so many non profit groups have about their web site. Non profit managers (really managers from any sector) feel they have no control as they are dependent on costly outside resources to make even the simplest of changes to their site. Brent Hi Alain,

Thank you for clearly explaining what the notion of ownership really means Alain. It is the main complaint so many non profit groups have about their web site. Non profit managers (really managers from any sector) feel they have no control as they are dependent on costly outside resources to make even the simplest of changes to their site.

You have touched on all the very import considerations. I can’t stress enough how ownership is really important. Not only in the development cycle but after a site is up and running. Too many older sites left site owners without the ability to make their own updates. They had to track down the developer to find out they would have to pay an hourly fee to make simple content changes... that is if they could find the developer. A few years ago we wanted to address that issue and even before CMS was as popular as it is today, we enabled customers to update their own content. This post is a great reference for anyone thinking of building a site or redesigning an existing one. AlAiN Very nice Brent! You have touched on all the very import considerations.
