| Content Management System |
 |
 |
A Content Management System (CMS) is a software for content authors who deal with database applications. It makes it easy to create and maintain websites and manage all publishing formats associated with the World Wide Web. |
|
| Some basic features are common to all CMS's: |
|
 |
Separation of content, structure and design
The division of these "dimensions" of any website bring about many decisive advantages throughout the lifecycle of a website and, in fact, even beyond that.
First, the design can be created, extended or even completely relaunched, without having to extract and reinsert, let alone recreate the previously existing content. |
| |
|
Easy content production without programming skills required
By providing a graphical user interface, or a frontend editing alternative, content creators can write text, insert images and multimedia formats, schedule contents and much more to maintain and build a dynamic website. |
|
| Other features: |
|
|
WYSIWYG editing
A Rich Text Editor (RTE) allows users to format text, insert images and create internal and external links just like in Word or any other word processor. |
| |
|
Automatic design preservation
Text formatting is foolproof. Your work will always match the basic design settings of the page. Therefore visual integrity is ensured while authoring articles. |
| |
|
Automated image processing
Automatic management of images, ensuring correct size and quality for the web. |
| |
|
Context sensitive menu
A context sensitive menu gives users direct access to the most popular functions of an object with a single click on it's icon. This saves time and spares hands and wrists of users operating a mouse daily. |
| |
|
Easy addition of hyperlinks
Links are applied with extreme ease. |
| |
|
Content Management:
All kinds of content types are to be added through easy to understand forms. No technical limit to the amount of items accomodated by the content structure per site, per category or per page. |
| |
|
Page tree structure
Pages are arranged in a clear hierarchic tree structure well known by any computer user from the local computer filesystem with folders and files. |
| |
|
File and media management
The internal filemanager allows users to upload, rename, copy, move, delete and even edit files online. |
| |
|
Multiple Page Editing
Any level of pages can be loaded into an editing form specifying parameters like name, date online/offline, etc. to be edited at the same time. |
| |
|
Preview content online
Hidden or access restricted content can be easily previewed in it's real environment. |
| |
|
Import
MS Word documents or other rich text content from client applications or the web can easily be imported. |
