Custom CMS and Admin Panel Development

Manage your website content and business data in-house, with the right controls.

BSD Infotech builds custom content management systems (CMS) and admin panels for websites, portals and web applications: editors update content without a developer, administrators manage users and data, and every change can be traced. Each CMS is designed around the content and roles of the organisation that uses it.

Definition

What Is a Custom CMS?

Quick answer: a custom CMS is a content management system built for a specific website or application, so that the content types, editing screens, roles and approval steps match how the organisation actually publishes, rather than a general-purpose tool configured with plug-ins.

An admin panel is the same idea applied to business data: members, bookings, orders, dues or registrations managed through secure screens instead of spreadsheets or database access. In many BSD projects the CMS and the admin panel are one system, behind a public website or a member portal.

Choosing

Custom CMS or Off-the-Shelf CMS?

An off-the-shelf CMS suits a simple content website. A custom CMS makes sense when content is tied to business data (members, events, bookings), when several roles need different permissions and approvals, when changes must be audited, or when the website must share a database with other business software. BSD builds custom CMS and admin panels on ASP.NET and SQL Server as part of custom website development.
