What is a CMS? Why should you use one and which one is right for your specific needs? The Brand Book, releasing Monday, August 31, covers the most commonly used CMS platforms, comparing and contrasting as well as listing pros and cons for each. Learn about investment required for maintaining websites on each platform to identify what's right for your budget. In addition to providing detailed guidelines for selecting a CMS and even listing favorite Wordpress plugins for various purposes, this comprehensive guide to a DIY Brand Audit & Revamp takes you through basic design principles like color theory, color psychology, typography, spacing, and layout, outlines important logo and brand identity information, and delves into the world of social media, before finishing off with general tips for freelancers, those who work for themselves, and those interested in getting started providing services on Upwork.
