CMS courses & training in an international context

What can you expect from CMS training by qwp?

CMS workshops with individual learning content

qwp guarantees CMS training by didactically experienced coaches who adapt their content optimally to your requirements and needs in dealing with content management systems. If you have not yet decided on a CMS, the existing CMS solutions and their respective advantages and disadvantages will first be presented to you in detail. If a CMS has already been selected in advance or after detailed consultation with qwp, the focus of the training is on the uncomplicated creation, editing and organization of international content. We attach great importance to ensuring that all employees can manage the international content management processes even without extensive programming or HTML knowledge. Individual learning content can be tailored to the level of knowledge of each training participant.

CMS training: remote or onsite

Our CMS training courses for international customers are offered as online training (virtual classroom training) or directly at your premises. In virtual classroom training courses for CMS solutions, all participants are connected audiovisually and can interact with each other. Questions to our experienced coaches are possible at any time and assistance can easily be provided by sharing the screens. The only requirements for this form of training are a computer, an Internet connection and a headset (alternatively speakers and microphone). The use of a webcam for mutual exchange would be ideal. We are also happy to conduct CMS training courses at your company's premises so that we can work directly with you on your existing content management system.

Contao is an open source solution for content management systems for which no license fees are charged. The software was launched on the market in 2006 as Typolight and has since made a name for itself with its Contao application options. With a market share of around three percent, companies in particular rely on the use of Contao as a CMS. Medium to large web projects can benefit from the software. The flexibly expandable system architecture and simple operation speak in favor of using Contao.

In consultation with the companies, features are added and rights management is set up together.

Drupal

Use Drupal as CMS

What is Drupal?

Drupal has been used as a content management system in Germany since 2001. The CMS is often used by companies and public institutions such as universities to manage content. Drupal's interfaces (API) support companies so that they can implement their own website requirements even better.

Training for Drupal

Despite the intuitive operation of Drupal, CMS training provides even deeper insights into the optimal use of the content management system. The CMS is expanded to include valuable functional options in line with the company's requirements and action plans are developed for employees. Depending on their position and user role, participants can learn how to use the Drupal functions relevant to them perfectly during a CMS workshop.

Contentful

Using Contentful as a CMS

What is Contentful?

Contentful, a content management system developed by a German start-up in 2013, is a so-called headless CMS that, unlike many traditional CMSs, focuses on interfaces (APIs). The focus is on the administration interface for content creation. In the cross-media age, the headless CMS is independent, dynamic and future-proof. The display on any device such as cell phone, website, tablet or smart watches is realized with Contentful without much extra effort.

Training for Contentful

As Contentful differs significantly from classic content management systems, CMS training is recommended. Participants learn how to deal with the administration interface and manage content that can be displayed on different devices. The integration of your own individual microservices is possible during CMS training.

Using WordPress as a CMS

What is WordPress?

The most popular content management system in this country, with a market share of 29%, is WordPress. The open source software has been continuously improved and expanded since 2003. Above all, its ability to be combined with countless design templates makes WordPress an interesting alternative on the market. WordPress is characterized by its versatility. Companies as well as private website operators can easily put appealing websites online.

Training for WordPress

The variety of functions and the countless expansion options through plug-ins require a comprehensive introduction through CMS training.

International CMS projects

What are the special features of international CMS projects?

What are the advantages of international CMS projects?

With international content management, you can manage multilingual websites with a CMS without much additional effort. The creation of international content under the appropriate top-level domain or directory is guaranteed by the CMS with the correct settings. Specific language character sets and culturally different symbols can be provided by plug-ins or extensions. This streamlined content management process significantly reduces the costs of internationalization. Global design templates for the selected CMS ensure a uniform brand presence.

Use of WPML plug-ins for the internationalization of websites

A WPML plug-in is a very useful extension to the existing content management system. With the support of the plug-in, pages, posts, user-defined types, taxonomy and menus can be translated from the source language into the language of the target country. Thanks to the translation options for metadata, the WPML plug-in provides additional adjustments with regard to search engine optimization. Even the URLs are adapted to the language of the target market. Any number of languages can be managed via the WPML plug-in and internationalization of the website can be easily initiated.

Use of Phrase for optimal translation management

Translation management is a major challenge for companies. With Phrase, a tool for simplified translation management, translation work can be bundled in one place and implemented in the existing content management system via an API. With the aim of being able to scale translations better and, above all, speed them up, Phrase provides valuable support for the international orientation of companies. The faster translation workflow will be reflected in success within a very short time. 

What needs to be considered for international CMS projects?

There are several factors to consider when implementing international CMS projects. Secure and faster hosting supports the accessibility of web projects. The further development options for the CMS should by no means be limited in order to meet the company's requirements in the future. Appealing web design as well as UX and UI development for an intuitive user experience must always be guaranteed for international web projects.

International project management

What needs to be considered in international project management?

Perfect implementation of international project management

In international project management, it is important to ensure that all products can be delivered to the target market or that the services offered can be implemented there. Country-specific intercultural training with regard to internationalization and the use of an international CMS support the entire process. The success of the project through the identification of customer expectations in the target market should be guaranteed by an in-depth analysis in advance. The interaction of all teams in a company should be summarized in international project management. It is essential to assess the effort involved in internationalization.

How can the content management process be systematized?

The content management process is divided into several building blocks. It starts with the conception and planning of the content. This is followed by the content creation and revision phase and is concluded by publishing and seeding. However, there are always pitfalls in this process that can derail the entire project. The slow creation of content, the lack of information flow and a lack of systematization cause interruptions. With training and education, these pitfalls can be eliminated and a content management process can be developed that works perfectly.
