CMS (Which stands for Content Management System) is typically used for enterprise content management and web content management for media websites. We can use the concept of a simple CMS for our project. The CMS will have a custom back-end, meaning we can edit and add pages through a backend vs static pages. For example, if a new event comes up we can put it in a custom backend, rather than making a new webpage. The CMS will enable us to add, edit, and delete posts/updates/etc. from a backend. Eventually this will be extremely important to update pieces of the website easily as events happen, members change, and regulations change.

We will have the ability to send contacts to a CRM (but probably not LeTip wired). This is something MD can help set up, or provide resources on how to do so. I recommend using a customer relationship management system (e.g. HubSpot), but we can also build an integration that is compatible with a spreadsheet. We can also notify our membership chair when someone fills out the form. When people inquire online all lead activity can be automated. We can also automate emails to stay in touch with them and invite them back. Once they are in a CRM we can streamline communications.
