All Features

Content management system, analytics, and search engine optimization…all within a single platform.

• Built-in content management system (CMS). A preconfigured content management platform that gives you complete flexibility and control of your design.

Design and building features

• Browser-based, drag-and-drop website editor. Build your site from anywhere on the Internet using a simple, browser-based, WSYIWYG (what-you-see-is-what-you-get) editor without software to install, back up, or maintain.
  
  
• Import wizard. Import a design via standard HTML or Cascading Style Sheets (CSS) files produced by tools such as Dreamweaver or Expression Web.

• Automatic database creation. Create databases and logic without the need for programming or database integration.
  
  
• Flexible article lists. Choose from preconfigured layouts or create your own custom layouts for blogs, news, career postings, and so on.

• Defined user roles and work flows. Assign granular, role-based rights to control exactly what each user can and can’t do.
