The sites we deliver for our customers are built using our state of the art content management system, Lodestone CMS. This means that you will easily be able to maintain the site yourself once it has been built.
Some of the features that are included in our content management system are:
- An easy to use administration panel. With .CMS you can easily create new content pages and update existing ones.You can change the hierarchy of your content pages with a simple drag and drop, the site map is automatically generated, and navigation menus can be made to correspond to the hierarchy of the content pages. Further the AJAX interface means you don't need to keep reloading the same page when you are entering content - a real time saver.
- Flexible modular content. .CMS lets add you just about any kind of content anywhere on your site. Content is added via an easy to use Rich Text Editor which provides both a WSYISYG and source view. It includes blogs, news feeds, simple image and video embedding and an image uploader with automatic thumbnailing.
- User Management. .CMS enables multiple users with different access levels to both the front end and the administration panel. In other words your site can function both as your face to the world and as an internal site for staff.
