RebeccaLeeAssociates.com is a very good example of a "Brochure" style website developed using a the Joomla Content Management System.

While the site is likely not to need frequent updates, using a CMS as the back-engine of the site allows the site owner to adapt the site to the growing business and add features as they become necessary.

This site uses the basic Joomla features, such as easy to update news stories and general ease of use. In addition, the site is ready to include additional features at a very reasonable extra cost should they prove necessary.

Adding a Newsletter or an online calendar for booking appointments would be a very easy feat with this site. The same is not true in a "static" more traditional development, where any new, dynamic feature would need to be assembled out of different scripts having no cohesive way of working together. What usually happen as a developer tries to accommodate a growing client's site is that the client is forced to learn different work flows and administrative tasks. One for each different feature.

The CMS advantage is that every new feature uses the same logical administrative layout and therefore there is a continuing familiarity with the interface that eases the process of learning the administration of any new features.

From a technical standpoint, the process is further streamlined by the fact that the administrator has a single point of entry for the administration of every website feature.
