A CMS makes everything more manageable!

But one of the most significant ways a CMS might help you and your website is to make it possible for you to quickly and easily add new content to your site, or manage the existing content on your site. Too often we see business owners pay developers for a fancy site and then when the time comes to make simple changes, add pages, delete pages, edit content, etc - they can’t do it with ease. Usually they end up paying developers or programmers by the hour (and have to wait) in order to make minor changes. A CMS will put the power of managing your website back into your hands - and our proprietary Content Management System, CoalEngine® does this without you ever having to learn a single line of code. Pretty neat, huh?

Search Engine Friendly CMS

Even more than just managing your content, CoalEngine® is a CMS that is specifically designed to be search engine friendly with the use of editable meta tags, content and by creating search engine friendly URLs and the leanest code possible. After all, having a nice site and managing your site easily is great, but being able to rank well and earn new business really is the icing on the cake.

A CMS Lets You Manage Site Anywhere

Because our Content Management System is a web based application it runs directly in your web browser - what that means is that you have the power to manage your site from anywhere, and at any time as long as you have internet access. Flight delayed? No worries, go ahead and spruce up your site in your spare time. With CoalEngine® you can!

A CMS Takes Care Of The Little Stuff

Our CMS also runs of templated content based on templates and designs that you approve. This means that while you are busy pouring your creativity into creating or managing content, you don’t have to worry about placement, font size, font color, etc. We will have added all of these details to your system for you so that no matter what you create it fits in with your approved design and your brand management is handled in a flash. Consistency really is a beautiful thing.

CMS And Content Automation

Since there are many sections of your website that are referenced in multiple places, such as menus and lists - these will update automatically when you add new content so you don’t have to worry about keeping tabs on these areas. You can control the footer on every single page with just one command in the page template. And its okay to be fickle - if you want to remove content so it doesn’t display on your website you can without completely deleting the file (just in case you change your mind tomorrow and want it back!).

CMS And Expandable Functionality

Because our Content Management System, CoalEngine®, is built on a totally scalable foundation your CMS can grow to fit whatever needs arise. We have extensions available to supper E-Commerce, Blogging, email newsletters and more. All of the extensions, for all three versions of CoalEngine® are completely customizable to suit your individual needs.
