Need a website or web portal? SimIS CMS can be used from Day 1:
- Once installed the administrator signs in and can quickly create a sitemap. Working on their own, or with others, the pages of the site are added.
- Each web page can have shared elements and styles, as well as their own elements and styles.
- A designer can work on the site's global style and layout, then target page-by-page improvements, while content authors fill out the web page content.
- Content authors work with the page elements which include searchable text, images, and videos. There are many dynamic elements which can be selected, including slideshows, news feeds, calendar events, blog posts, and more.
- For more complex components, a developer can work both online and off to enable the functionality or create it.
