MT as CMS We anticipated that the focus and the message of the website would change as the party grows. So it was decided to use a Content Management System (CMS) to make the website extendable and allow new sections (like tackling population or illiteracy or environment concerns) to be added with ease as the party grew in popularity. We opted for Movable Type (MT) because of its versatility and ease of use. In fact, with just a little training from us, Anthony’s office started updating the site using the MT.

Another feature in favour of MT is its ability to manage blogs easily. If Anthony was to interact with his voters and people effectively and comments of visitors were to be showcased prominently, we needed a powerful blog management system—which is the core of MovableType CMS. Today, http://aparty.org.za is a much visited website and continues to be an effective mouthpiece of A Party. - Gurpreet Singh, Dileepan Ramanan, Yshana Pereira
