CMS
Details of our bespoke content management system are provided below.
- It comprises an admin interface to manage the site and any number of “modules” which perform specific tasks.
- The central module is called “pages” which allows you to create an unlimited number of web pages (eg About Us, Services etc) and once created, to edit and delete them. Pages can be “top level” eg Home, About Us and these parents can as many children (sub pages) as is required.
- The core system also includes dynamic navigation; meaning that as pages are added these will be reflected in the main menu area on the front end of the website.
- All pages on the site would have “search engine friendly” urls – meaning that, even though the site is dynamic (database driven), to search engines the pages will look static – eg http://www.somedomain.com/category1/product1.html. This is in contrast to many dynamic websites which will have urls such as http://www.somedomain.com?cat=5&page=3
- On all pages we provide a breadcrumb as an aid to usability eg You are here: Home > Garden Furniture > Wooden Furniture, to enable users to see where they are at any point in the site.
- A dynamic XML site map (aka Google Site Map) is provided which can be updated at any time in the admin. This is designed to assist the search engines index as many pages of the site as possible.
- Implementation of Google Analytics code on all pages of the site to allow the monitoring of website statistics; how many visits, where they come from, and what people do on the site (and much more!).
- An automated daily database back up is provided for a rolling period of 1 month to protect against data loss
