XOOT Content Management System
 
The XOOT content management system is an in-house development for easily updating a website. It has an extensive back-end admin suite, built to be as intuitive and user-friendly as possible.

You can change your password and email too. The email address is encoded to protect it from spambots.

New pages can be created with the option to add them to the navigation bar or keep them linked from other pages. They can be displayed in your preferred order. A rich text editor allows full control of the appearance of the text and images can be added from a gallery you populate yourself with the upload manager. Images can be aligned to the left, right or centered. You can split the page into columns if you require.

You can upload images for the slideshows at the top of the site and they can be arranged into galleries, displayed in a particular order or suspended when not in use.

There is a photogallery where you can upload your images and add captions. They are of course editable. The images are displayed as thumbnails and the larger versions are displayed in a 'lightbox' overlay.

The link manager allows you to add, edit and test links before adding them in a nicely formatted way. See the links page for examples.

If you have goods to sell there is a shop module with images and text. Goods can be purchased online using Paypal as a secure online payment processor.

If you have products that you wish to display without the option to buy, there is a product module that displays multiple images of each product.

If you want to have advertising banners, there is a module to display three kinds of banners which can be linked to your clients website.

There are several different systems for news and events. The news page lists the top paragraphs of the stories with links to the main articles. The Meetings module displays formatted meetings which automatically expire at the date you set. There is a diary module which is quite similar. An events module is similar to the meetings module but has the facility for multiple downloads. The file type and size of downloads are automatically detected and displayed.

There is an upload/download module to add files which can be linked from your pages and also a dedicated download page.

All you have to do is fill in the boxes and the layout of these pages is automatically formatted to keep the appearance consistent.

Other custom modules can be added. There is a chalet booking system, vehicle search and property management system. Modules can be tailored to whatever you need. The look and feel of the site can be customised with professional photography and graphic design to provide unique websites that stand apart from the usual run-of-the-mill offerings.

The links at the side demonstrate some of what's possible with XOOT.
