Do-It-Yourself Website Management
by Susan Moore
For many years, A&A has been providing our clients with website design and hosting services. Now, with the use of our Content Management Tools, you can keep your website fresh and up-to-date with new information without a programmer!

new_admin_screen.jpg (99278 bytes)A&A recognizes that information on a website often changes to reflect current happenings within organizations. In the past, this has meant extensive contact between clients and our web programmer, who implements the changes on the clients' web site. Now, the client can make these changes quickly and easily, and often in less than five minutes. Using Internet Explorer or Netscape browsers, our custom-tailored tools allow you to add or edit information using a simple form.

Key features of the Tools are:

File Management – Pages, images, and other files are all stored in a MySQL-based database file system. Administrative users can upload, modify, and delete content through a browser-based file management tool.

Content Management – Web pages are created and modified through a browser-based page editor, which functions like a typical word processor. Have new information that you only want displayed for thirty days? By entering a start-date and end-date in the tools, the information will automatically be removed from your site on the end-date you specify. This feature works great for ads, notices, and meetings.

Automated Approval Process – All changes made to the site can be required to receive approval prior to going live. Also, with our automatic archiving, changes can easily be reversed.

Image Management – The browser-based ImageSizer allows the administrator to crop and resize images for use on the web without special image-editing software. All processing is done directly on the server.calendar_cut.jpg (81210 bytes)

Download Management – Manage all downloadable documents in one database! All forms or other documents available for download are maintained in a simple database, and can be easily incorporated into any page.

Calendar – The comprehensive calendar is easy to maintain, allowing you to add recurring events such as monthly board meetings and linking to documents which contain additional information about the event.
