CMS Maestro > Tour

The CMS Maestro separates the administration interface from the front end website, the admin interface can be accessed by using the /admin.php suffix to the websites address. Administrators can be easily added and removed to enable groups of people or organizations to co-manage the website’s content and configuration.

The CMS Maestro dashboard contains an overview of the most used administration tasks that can be carried out, from quickly creating a new page to uploading a few images to the media library.

Content types are determined by components, and new content types can be easily added with additional components. Content is listed for a quick over view of each content page, along with useful information such as publishing date and management actions.

The CMS Maestro includes a menu manager that enables quick and easy menu management on a dynamic website, the template only needs to include the menu php tag to allow the Maestro to fully manage the main menus. The menu manager lets you easily create new menus by selecting the content from your site within a drop down list, it also allows external links to be added, for example a twitter url. Specifying the windows target is also as easy as a check box, which determines weather the menu link is opened in the current browser window or a new browser window.

A website is not complete without media, such as images, videos and documents. The media manager is much like a conventional file browser, which lists the media by type, along with a thumbnail preview, the files name and url. Media can be easily uploaded and deleted as the need arises, eliminating the need for an end user to make use of an FTP client

The CMS Maestro includes meta tag description keyword fields, on every content page as well as the home page, to assist in search engine indexing. The general settings allows one to set the main keywords and description for the site, as well as specifying other values such as the website’s name, email address and defining which page would be used as the home page. Google Analytics, an enterprise class website tracking service can also be quickly installed by simple pasting the GA tracking code into the tracking field, therefore an
end user would not have to edit the php code of their template or make use of FTP software to upload the tracking code to their site
