All CMS solutions let you add and edit website content, but managing a web presence requires much more than that. EasySite™ CMS offers far more 'bangs for your buck' - like the integrated Template Builder that lets you create an infinite number of page layout templates.
A layout template controls the position and configuration of information content elements on a page - this is distinct from the design style. The design style represents those items which remain consistent across the site or section of the site such as the look-and-feel of the navigation system, breadcrumb trails, logos and branding - headers and footers. Whereas, a content layout template controls the format and sequencing of the elements of the main page e.g. text, pictures, forms or databases, etc.
In most CMS solutions layout templates (if they exist at all) are created by technical people - whether hand coded or using a tool like Dreamweaver or Frontpage. EasySite™ does away with this technical requirement through an amazing template builder that allows non-technical users to create layout templates.
The template builder offers a drag and drop interface that allows users to add elements to create a page template. Elements include:
As well as these standard elements, each EasySite™ advanced functionality plugin module offers its own elements that can be used on pages including:
Directories
Events Calendars
Job vacancies
Discussion forums
User registration
Forms
Mailing Lists
Personal portals
Not only is the interface a dream to use, but behind the scenes EasySite™ turns your layout design into fully compliant CSS to control all of the layout so you can rest assured that your templates as well as your content are fully accessible.
