Administration Tools

  • Password-protection- Your staff can make Web site changes from any computer with a Web browser, but only if they have a password. If you have a personnel change at your company, you can easily change the password. 
  • WYSIWYG editor- (What You See Is What You Get) If you can use a word processor, you can easily make changes to your site without knowing HTML.
  • Header and footer content- If you want to edit content in the header and footer areas of your site, it’s a snap to make the change once and have all of the pages in your site be updated. 
  • Site navigation- You control the organization of your site navigation.
  • Sections and sub-sections- Sections are the top level layer for content and the site administrator controls those. The administrator can also assign sub-sections to sections allowing for as much detailed information as necessary.
  • Content reuse- You can assign pages to multiple sections to enable the reuse of content as needed.
  • Home page content- In a matter of minutes you can post announcements or late breaking news on your home page. 
  • Site content blocks- You can make use of content blocks to make the same content appear in the same part of all the pages in a particular section.
  • Version control It’s easy to rollback to an earlier version of your content.
  • Users and groups management- You can add or delete users and allow or restrict administrative privileges as necessary.
  • Workflow control- The Adhost CMS can be configured to accommodate a wide variety of business-specific workflows of varying degrees of complexity.

Search Engine Optimization

  • Search engine friendly URLs (“static” URLs)- Many other CMS systems display complex URLs which don’t rank well in the search engines. Adhost CMS generates shorter static URLS which are easier for search engines to rank.
  • Page title- You control the page title content which appears at the very top left of the visitor’s browser. The search engines often display this information in their search results.
  • Key word and description meta tags- You manage the key words and descriptions for each page of your site and it’s easy to change them whenever you desire. 
  • Search engine sitemap file- You can generate a sitemap file and submit it to the search engines to aid their indexing of your site. When new content is added, you can generate a new sitemap file and re-submit it.

Site Features

  • Frequently asked questions (FAQ)- You are able to create one main FAQ page on your site or multiple FAQ pages which address your various products or services. Our system also allows you to re-use the same questions and answers on multiple FAQ pages.
  • Internal site search- Visitors to your site can use the internal site search tool to search for key words on your site. The tool will return a list of pages which contain that keyword.
  • Unlimited pages- You may add as many pages as you need using our CMS. Other CMS products limit the number of pages you are allowed and charge extra if you go over their limit.
  • Printer friendly option- When a visitor clicks on the printer friendly link on your site’s pages, a new page will display with the page’s content but not the site’s navigation. The visitor can then print out this simplified, printer friendly page.
  • Dynamic, expandable page navigation- This feature allows you to fully customize your Web site navigation and affords the ultimate flexibility for managing your content and how your users access it.
  • CSS driven design- Our CMS supports the very best of standards-based Web design. The clear separation of your content from the display rules means that it’s easy to change the design of your site in one spot and the change will appear on all pages of your site. Another benefit of CSS driven design is that your Web pages will download faster than older HTML designs. We ship several professional, 'out of the box' style sheets that will fit most business needs.
