Umbraco: Great for your content

The Wiliam development platform of choice for a content heavy site is definitely Umbraco. Within its elegant and feature-rich interface, it is easy for a website administrator to manage their content with one of the most requested CMS features; the ability to save all content as a draft and preview it, in context, within the confines of your site.One of the other most heavily requested features is user rights on specific content. It is completely within your hands to give staff members access to areas of the site administration (for example, adding new news article), but forbidding them access to more crucial areas of the site that only you as the Administrator want access to.

The platform allows developers to build content modules that can easily be placed on any page of your site. When built correctly, your site is not confined to any fixed set of rules regarding content placement. If you want to place your FAQ page elsewhere in the navigation, Umbraco can easily achieve this. You can create templates for the unique sections you require – you then have the ability to place content in these templates anywhere within your navigation!

The platform is very SEO friendly, creating a page hierarchy for your content e.g. your news section will appear as www.yoursite.com/news, and the articles as www.site.com.au/news/name-of-article. This is the default behaviour of Umbraco and allows you to concentrate on making you the best site possible, knowing that the core foundations of a content heavy website are already in place.
