Control Panel and Editing Interface

The Admin Interface is a secure section of the CMS that allows you and your staff to login and edit content on the site. 

The changes you make in the CMS can be seen on the web site straight away and any content you add automatically picks up the house style of the web site. 

The browser based interface uses a clean and simple design, separated out by the type of content you are editing. Anyone with some experience of using desktop computers and browsing the web will find it very easy to use, especially anyone familiar with Microsoft® Word. There is no need to install any client software on PCs in order to edit content.

In the future, as your needs change, you may decide to update the style and theme of the web site. The CMS helps to protect your investment by keeping the cost of future redesigns down.  When new templates are added the Control Panel automatically adjusts itself to accommodate them. 

To help keep editing as simple as possible we do not include any workflow, user accounts, roles or publishing processes in the Control Panel. These are available to meet specific needs by arrangement as each editing team is different. Keeping these processes out of the Control Panel allows individuals or small editing teams to focus on the task at hand - creating content without confusion or unnecessary complication.

Rich Text Editing

The Rich Text Editor for the site works in all of the recent versions of Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari, and provides an interface similar to leading word processing software.

Users have peace of mind with full undo functionally built into the editor.

For editing large pages of content, users can make the Editor full screen or adjust it to a size of their choosing.

To promote good SEO, we make it easy for users to structure the content with headings, lists, tables and many other "styles". The content created in the Rich Text Editor will automatically pick up the themes and styles for the web site. 

Content can be copied and pasted from Word and other desktop software, and there are features and tools built into clean up the "Word HTML". All HTML generated by the editor is standards compliant markup, that will help you to meet accessibility requirements and provide a good foundation for SEO.

The editor makes it easy for users to create tables, links, and various other HTML tags without needing to know any HTML at all. Advanced users are free to edit the "source HTML" if they prefer to work that way. 

Functionality in the Rich Text Editor is fully configurable users can either be provided with a fully featured editor or a simple version that just has the key functionality required for your purposes.
