What is a content management system?
 
  • You don't need web design skills or special software – just basic word processing skills and Internet Explorer 5 (or above).
  • No need for a super-fast new computer - older computers can easily use our system.
  • You can update your website from any PC connected to the internet.
 
Main Features
 
  • Website - create normal web pages with text & images.  The menu and overall style of the web page is created automatically.
  • Communicate - Mailing Lists (email newsletters) that visitors can sign up to on your site.
  • Publicise Events - Searchable Calendar of Events set to display your forthcoming events.
  • Share Documents - Online Library of Documents you want to share – (MS Word, Adobe Acrobat files, Spreadsheets, Powerpoint Presentations etc.).
  • Encourage Feedback - feedback forms to solicit views and comments on your work from your visitors.
  • Search - search your website from every page.  Plus your site is included in global search of all sites from the main Greater Nottingham Gateway site.
  • Moderation & Privileges - you designate which users can add/edit pages, what sections they can add to (people are responsible for their own sections), and whether a web page has to be vetted by someone else before going live.
  • Password Protected – you can create hidden sections of your website only available to people who you’ve given a password to.
