Multiple methods to structure your content

• Define the site structure with as many menu levels you need.
• Define the type of content you want to use (Article, Product list,  ..)
• Use the integrated search engine in your website to help your reader to find the information they want.
• No need for your content contributors to learn HTML. If they can use a word processor, they can use QuickelSoft CMS.
• Each content item can appear in multiple locations on your website and in different formats.
• Syndicate your content through RSS. An RSS stream can be easily added to your site with a single line of code.
• Assign keywords and categories to your content to easily link related content together.

Multiple sites

Your licence allows you to manage as many sites as you wish on a single server.

Integrated security

• Divides your site into sections and distributes the maintenance of each section to different teams.
• Manage users and groups by defining their role in each part or each section of your site.

Define:

• Who can read.
• Who can edit.
• Who can publish.

Full Multi-lingual capability

You can manage mono-lingual or multilingual sites.

If your site comprises multiple languages, the site structure can be the same for all the languages or different for each language.

You can define the language in which each contributoris fluent and then allow the contributors to create and modify documents in the languages they can master.

Version management

Your content can optionally be controlled by a versioning management using the standard checkin/checkout paradigm.

• Only one checkout per document is allowed, therefore preventing the risk of two persons working simultaneously on the same document.
• To preserve the integrity of the site, you have a history of all the modifications on every piece of content so that any mistakes can be rolled back if necessary.
• You can modify an existing page while the old version is still displayed on the live site until you have finished and you have published the new version.
• You can freely parameterise the number of versions that you wish to preserve.

Powerful content type definition

A content definition is a form in which you define all the fields you need to describe your content.

For instance:

• For an article: the full content. 
• For a product: a description, a price, an image, … 
• etc.

A large selection of field types is available in order to accommodate a majority of possible situations.

• plain text, rich text (page setup, illustrations, bold, italics, links etc.), date, image, number, URL, choice of options, etc.
