 Octarine CMS Explained
If your website content needs to be updated on a regular basis, the costs can often be prohibitive. Traditionally whenever a sites, products, prices, news and announcements and pages are added edited or deleted site owners are often in the position of having to pay the company that built the site to make the required changes. Not only can this prove to be expensive but it also relies on the web company's resources to enable them to schedule the work. Octarine enables you to add, edit and update your site content at any time, giving you the ability to be highly responsive to your customers needs and as a consequence, maximise opportunities to sell and promote your products and services.
Octarine (the Proweb Content Management Suite) is a web-based content management solution - a simple piece of software that allows even the most web-shy user to update and manage their website.
Our CMS is user-friendly and runs within a standard web browser.
This simple arrangement means that you can edit the entire structure and content of your site (text, images, downloadable files and even e-commerce products) at any time of the day or night, with no external support required.
No two clients have exactly the same range of requirements for their website, so the system is designed in-house and shaped to fit each client on an individual basis. This unique development setup ensures that client requirements are never "massaged" to fit into the framework of the existing software. The CMS is perfectly tailored for each user, based on their own unique requirements.

Textual Content Management The whole textual content of your website can be created and altered within a simple text editor interface. This allows you to type editorial directly onto the pages of your site. Pages can also be created with a simple copy and paste from existing documents.
The content management is so simple that new pages can be created in under 10 seconds.

Image and Files, Upload & Maintenance Images and other documents can be moved directly from your desktop straight into your website, integrating easily with your existing content. Uploaded images can then be resized to create thumbnails. Additionally, the CMS has a rich stock or asset management system. Images can be rotated, resized, cropped and coloured.
New images can be created or existing ones altered using the banners and button designer, this tool lets you create buttons or banners from scratch and use them on your pages.

Menu editor Menus can be created and altered at any time. If for instance your website needs a new page for an announcement or a new product, simply create that new page by copying an existing one from your site, alter the information and create a new menu link to that page.

Templated design Your website may be that of your own design or created for you by your own designer or we can design your website for you. Our in-house designers have designed numerous attractive, functional and fast-loading websites for a wide range of applications.
From that design your website is built in such a way to provide you with the template, you provide the content to the pre-built framework.

Tokens and pre-built functionality The Proweb (UK) Ltd CMS provides you with a set of ever expanding functions that can be incorporated into your website in just a few clicks.
|
For example: To create a latest news page that you can update from a simple to use manager you would...
- Create a new webpage on your site, by either copying an existing page or by creating a new page from the page editor.
- Edit the page title, meta-tags and any other text on your latest news page.
- Insert a "latest news" token on your latest news page at where you'd like the latest news listing to be.
- Build and publish your new page.
This entire process can take as little as a few seconds. Compare that to the effort involved in creating a new page with that degree of complexity in a "dedicated" piece of HTML creation software like Microsoft Frontpage or Macromedia Dreamweaver. It would take even a skilled user of those packages considerable time - compared to seconds using the Proweb (UK) Ltd CMS.
|
Ever growingWe take the view that development of the CMS is ongoing. As we create new features and functions they continue to become available to you as a CMS customer. This eliminates the need for constant development and re-development of your existing site, therefore dramatically reducing your ongoing costs.
Proweb can advise you on the most appropriate CMS solution for your needs and budget. |
