Complete Feature Details:
Content Editing
Browser-based. Our password-protected web interface allows you to add and edit your website content from anywhere in the world. All you need is a web browser and an internet connection to manage your site from anywhere.
Easy text editing. Our WYSIWYG ("what you see is what you get") editor makes editing webpages as easy and familiar as using a Microsoft Word.
Fast, one-step publishing. Enter the text and images for a new page into the page editor and the software files the page under the category you select, automatically updating your home page and section pages with links to the new page. It's fast and immediate. No more broken links or manual updating of multiple pages every time you want to add something new.
Manage documents, media and podcasts. Adding documents, including audio and video, to your site is easy. These documents become available for immediate download from your site.
Image management and slideshows. Your CMS manages your library of images, automatically sizing your original images to appropriate sizes for page display, thumbnails and slideshows. Any page can hold an image gallery to showcase your photos, product images, drawings, you name it. You can even batch-upload images by providing a zip file of your images, and the CMS takes care of the rest.
Basic version control. Review the edit history for any page, compare a page's current text to previous versions and, if you like, roll back to a previous version.
Tags. Tag your pages with browsable keywords to help your visitors find similar content.
Visitor comments. Allow comments on any page, allowing your visitors to get involved. Vigorous anti-spam features prevent spammers from posting unwanted messages.
News feeds and content syndication. Automatically generate RSS news feeds and podcasts to allow your website visitors to subscribe to your site's updates.
One-click editing. Jump straight into editing from any page of the site with your-eyes-only edit links on each page.
Layout and Design
Seamless integration. We can build any website layout for your site, you're not limited to bland templates that come with other Content Management Systems. And, we can integrate the system into your existing website as well.
Standards-compliant HTML and XHTML. Our software produces clean code and immaculate markup. CSS-based layouts are fully supported.
Site Management
Team collaboration. Allow an unlimited number of contributors to add, edit and publish content. You can register multiple accounts, setting their access privileges to one of five levels of role-based permissions (writer, editor, publisher, webmaster or administrator). That way the members of your team only have as much access to your files as you give them.
Lightweight workflow. Follow your site content through the editorial process from draft to edit to ready to published. Limit publication permission to certain accounts so that your team can work behind the scenes on content until an authorized editor gives it the nod.
Unlimited categories and subsections. Assign your pages to specific categories, sub-categories, sub-sub-categories, sub-sub-sub-categories (you get the idea). The CMS automatically updates all navigation menus as you add or delete pages.
Scheduled publication. Set a time for a page to be published to or removed from the site.
E-mail notifications. Site editors can subscribe to alerts for events including new comments, new pages or changes in a page's publication status.
Technical Considerations
Built-in search. Our built-in search engine gives your visitors fast, accurate access to your site’s entire content archive.
Search-engine friendly. Our system generates webpages with natural-language URLs that are friendly to search engines as well as your users. Unlike other systems that generate incomprehensible, hard-to-remember URLs, we let you choose your own file names and web addresses. We also help search engines index your site by creating a special index page that links to every page of your site (using Google’s XML sitemap format). All of this happens behind the scenes, without any special effort from you.
Manage high-traffic sites. Our system builds static HTML pages, without the need to hit a database everytime a visitor requests a page. This means that our sites can handle as much traffic as your server itself.
Support
Initial Training Included. We'll start you off with a complimentary training session to make sure your key team members have a firm understanding of how to use the software to edit your website. Additional training can be scheduled if needed.
Ongoing Support. We're also available by phone, and offer free lifetime email support. Just drop us a line or give us a call if you run into any questions as you handle your site.
Excellent documentation. Bold Print Design Studio's helpful handbook covers every aspect of the software in clear, accessible language. It's always available for viewing and downloading in our client area.
