Content management made easy.

Creating websites that our clients can self-manage both easily and effectively is at the core of our design philosophy. An effective content management system (CMS) is now accepted as a key strategic requirement for any modern website to be successful. Because of this, we recognize that integrating a flexible, efficient, yet cost-effective CMS into each of our sites is essential.

CMS Highlights:

· Dynamic site content. Using our CMS, text and graphics can be changed through a web browser such as Explorer or Firefox upon secure log in. There is no need to use a separate editing program. Updates reflect immediately.

· Dynamic page creation. Allows the user to create new pages and sub-pages instantly from the CMS without modifying any code.

· User levels. Different access levels can be set up to give CMS users access to the entire site, or only portions of it. Each user will have a unique login that is created by the site manager.

· Events calendar. Events can be entered either one by one, or by uploading a comma separated (CSV) file for multiple events. CMS users can create different categories that can then be filtered by the website visitor to display only relevant information.

· News section. Create and manage news categories and articles. Upload text and graphics using the same familiar text editor and file browser.

· Photo albums. Batch upload photos through ftp and assign albums in the CMS. Thumbnails and slideshow features are created automatically.

· Athletic teams. Create athletic team pages that are linked to the main calendar. Results are added as the seasons proceeds.

· Contacts. Add photos and biography information for school staff. Separate categories can be set up by CMS users. A section-specific search is also provided.

All of the functionality above is handled directly through our web based Content Management System. There are no licensing, or monthly, fees and no proprietary code. Our system is also fully customizable to allow for future updates.
