Content Management Feature: Create CSS compliant page layouts with Template Builder

Why pay an agency every time you need a new layout template?

All CMS solutions let you add and edit website content, but managing a web presence requires much more than that. EasySite™ CMS offers far more 'bangs for your buck' - for example the integrated Template Builder that lets you create an infinite number of page layout templates.

Create your own templates instantly with no CSS or HTML experience required

A content layout template controls the position and configuration of information content elements on a page - this is distinct from the design style. The design style represents those items which remain consistent across the site, or section of the site, such as the look-and-feel of the navigation system, breadcrumb trails, logos and branding - e.g. headers and footers. Whereas, a content layout template controls the format and sequencing of the elements of the main page e.g. text, pictures, forms or databases, etc.

In most CMS solutions layout templates (if they exist at all) are created by technical people - whether hand coded or using a tool like Dreamweaver or Frontpage. EasySite™ does away with this technical requirement through an amazing template builder that allows non-technical users to create layout templates.

The template builder offers a drag-and-drop interface that allows users to add content elements to create a page template. Elements include:

Titles & headings

Rich text content areas

Images

Video clips

Sound Files

Downloadable documents

Columns...and columns within columns

As well as these standard elements, EasySite™ has advanced functionality plugin modules that can be used on pages including:

Directories

Events Calendars

Job vacancies

Discussion forums

User registration

Forms

Mailing Lists

Personal portals

Not only is the template interface simple to use, but behind the scenes EasySite™ turns your layout design into fully compliant CSS to control all of the layout so you can rest assured that your templates as well as your content are fully accessible.
