Taking control of your site with a content management system also has great advantages as far as your search engine rankings are concerned. All search engines like to see that websites are updated regularly and favor sites that alter their content on a regular basis. Our CMS platform provides search engine friendly web pages and also allows you to create your own page titles and meta tags used by the Search Engines for page rankings.

 

1) Reattach the link. If the page was renamed, the link might have been affected.

2) Confirm that the folder and content block do not contain special characters (such as ‘ “ # % & + / : ; < > ) in the title.

When in doubt, avoid using non-numerical or -alphabetical characters.

 

Requirements gathering is crucial, to make sure you buy on what you need, not on the shiny features that look good in the demonstration.

 

The Web CMS does not require any special software or any technical knowledge to use. It is a web-based platform and can be accessed wherever you have an Internet connection and a web browser. The interface is very similar to Microsoft Word and does all of the HTML coding for you. You can concentrate on the content and not worry about how it will affect the page layout. It also automatically optimizes your site’s content for search, so that when someone searches for information on your site it is more likely to be found.
