Content Management

We believe that you should be able to easily manage and maintain your own website. When you commission a website from Nexus it is supplied with an inbuilt, multi-lingual Content Management System (CMS). All you need to manage your website content or menu structure is an internet connection, web browser and a basic understanding of word processing.

Unlike other CMS packages our software allows total flexibility. You are not restricted by any kind of default layout, style or feature set. Content is also separated from the design, so that we can help you to easily change your website "look and feel" without having to worry about re-publishing the content.
 
Website owners, administrators and authorised users can utilise our CMS to keep their website up-to-date and share the responsibility by using the content authorisation workflow. No technical skills are required and content publishers only need 15 minutes training to get up and running.

Websites developed by Nexus make an ideal solution for companies of any size. Take a look at some of the standard CMS features we can build into your website.

Take control of your website

Our CMS negates the need for advanced technical skills. Authorised users can (with the appropriate permissions) add, edit and delete web pages from your website by simply logging in and using the publishing tools. Authorised users can also manage the menus and additional features developed for your website.

Content authorisation workflow

Website administrators can create a content authorisation workflow that enables you to delegate the management of your website to others, whilst still being able to approve changes before they are published. You can specify multiple authorisation tiers to suit any established content proofing and testing procedures.

Permission groups & private content

Permission groups allow you to nominate groups of users who can login to your website and access private content. This is an ideal solution to supply customers or registered users with additional information or functionality. Using encryption such a SSL (Secure Socket Layer), you can guarantee that the private sections or features of your website are secure and only available to specified visitors; this is often essential if your website collects data or contains personal information or other sensitive content.

Dynamic content & menus

Our content publishing tools are simple and easy to use. For example you can categorise content as 'News' or 'Case Study', and it will automatically add it to the menus, content feeds or other dynamic website features specified during the design phase.

Add images, videos & documents to your website

We have made sure that it is straightforward to add images, videos, documents or file attachments to your website. Our CMS has a fully-featured asset manager that allows you to upload files from your computer (or any network location) and easily publish them to your website. The asset manager helps you to create links in your content to other web pages, files or resources.

Blogs & News Feeds

Blogging or publishing news is a great way of attracting readers to your website. Blogs are the online equivalent of a diary or journal, usually featuring regular entries of news or commentary. They are normally used to give the reader the opportunity to add a comment beneath each article. Blogs and news feeds can be enabled in your website if you think these features would suit your online strategy.

Web browser compatibility & standards

Two of the guiding principles throughout the ongoing development of our CMS have been browser compatibility, accessibility and compliance with web standards. The websites we create are built using cascading style sheets (CSS); this helps us to ensure that your website can be viewed on any device running any web browser.

Website plug-ins & custom-built features

We designed our CMS plug-in system so that we could easily create and deploy custom-built features and functionality for our customer's websites. There are no limitations; the examples below are just a few of the standard features you can specify when we help you design your website.

• Google Maps can provide route planning to your premises or pinpoint case study locations.
• Google Analytics helps you to learn more about your visitors and how they interact with your website.
• RSS Dashboard displays RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds from other relevant websites.
• Image Gallery lets you manage digital photos in an online, permissions based gallery.
