With a content management system you can:

  • Update site content and images

  • Add images to a gallery or to content pages
  • Upload PDFs, MP3s or Videos to use on content pages
  • Publish or unpublish content pages
  • Set a page for approval
  • Preview pages and see how they will look before they are made live on your website
  • Update meta tags for every page on the site

 

Features of the Umbraco CMS include:
  • WYSIWYG Editing
    Content can be edited in the web editor (works best in IE). Output is standards compliant and formatting is done via CSS. The web editor includes some simple imaging tools for resizing and quick graphic production for headers, etc.
  • Custom Content Types
    Umbraco CMS features a generic content architecture making it possible for developers to produce content types of their choice.
  • Localized Interface
    The product comes with both Danish and UK English user interface languages. Additional languages can be added by providing the required XML language files. Dates and system names are automatically translated using the culture settings from .NET.
  • Templating & Tags
    Umbraco uses a simple HTML templating approach with some custom tags for integrating Umbraco content.
  • Extensibility
    Almost any part of the Umbraco user interface can be customized and new functionality added using your favorite .NET language. Integration requires that developers implement some standard Interfaces.

Custom CMS creation

For larger applications and projects, we can also build fully customized content management systems in .Net and have done so for a number of clients. This is suitable for large projects or very specific content management requirements where too much of an existing CMS would have to be modified to be of benefit. Please speak to us if you require a custom CMS for your project.
