Content Management Systems

If you want control over your content then a CMS may be just what you need. With over ten years of software engineering experience Swoop Media have developed a CMS that has ease of use for anyone in your organisation regardless of their technical ability. We’ve even won awards for our software products so we definitely know what we are talking about. Via our point-and-click interface content can be edited from within your browser making it as easy as creating a MS Word document.

Benefits

We have spent a great deal of time on our CMS so you don’t have to.  As well as ease-of-use the key benefits include:

•  If you decide that you want a new look for your site you may think you have to spend hours changing each page. Not so. By simply creating a new template you can change the look of a page (or the whole site) at the click of a button.
• The last thing you want is your website to look like it was built using a content management system. By this we mean content that is spaced in a peculiar way or a page layout that looks odd. With our CMS however we can guarantee that no one will think you did the site yourself.  Contact us for an aesthetically pleasing website.
• Stay relevant with the ability to update your site instantly. No longer will you have to waste time ringing around design agencies every time you want to make a change on your website. Whether you want to upload images or paste text these tasks can performed at ease via a rich text editor right in your browser. Change font or hide the page at the click of a button. Planning ahead is also possible. Want to programme a page to show on a particular date?  Simply schedule the date you would like the page to go live and then sit back and relax.
• Ok. So what if you are not a novice when it comes to web design? We can work with that too. Our CMS allows the more technically-able to create plugins and templates with ease. Additionally the HTML editor can be opened at the click of a button allowing you to edit the HTML source.

Features

•  Build attractive, colourful pages with ease. Don’t fret about page styling because our templates will take care of that for you - leaving you to concentrate on the aesthetics such as colour, font and style. In addition to text - upload images, insert links or imbed videos at the click of a button.
• You may have the most informative, vibrant, animated website on the net but if no one knows it exists then all your hard work (and money) is wasted. Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) makes sure that your site has maximum exposure on the Internet. In order to achieve higher rankings on the web our CMS automatically creates what is referred to as friendly URLs. Which means the page 'swoopmedia.com/12344.php?##12' would appear as swoopmedia.com/cms.htm' thus increasing the chance of visibility via the major search engines.
• Our CMS uses a templated structured meaning that flexibility is a key benefit. The content from your site is stored in a database, separate from your display, allowing the content to be submitted into a template. Advantages are that by simply changing the template you can make small or large changes depending on whether you want to change one thing or give the website an overhaul.
• As an environmentally-friendly company we hate wasting resources unnecessarily which is why all pages can be displayed in a print friendly format. Go green by saving paper and ink.  
• Output any number of pages as RSS feeds allowing third-party websites display information from your site. Perfect if you have news headlines, audio, video or a blog with interest to the general public or your particular trade market.
• If you decide at a later stage that you want to add extra functionalities to the site then we can create plugins which we integrate into your site. Regardless of whether you want to add a new payment system or custom contact form Swoop Media can develop bespoke plugins for your site. Examples of additional functions include:
  
  
• Search: Add a site search facility to your website with this plugin. Due to the fact that the search plugin is developed bespoke for each site a more accurate search is performed compared to shop bought search tools.
• Bookings: This plugin allows the site to take bookings and payments from customers for specific events/services.   
• Catalogue: Represent your products in a catalogue list. Whether you want to display a list of services or downloadable files the catalogue plugin is perfect for exhibiting the information in a formatted and attractive manner.
• Form Builder: If you need to obtain contact information or quote requests from your customers then the form builder plugin is what you need. Have the results sent directly to you via custom made forms.
• Advertising: Want to monitor your online advertising? An advertising plugin may suit your needs. Display and track adverts onsite allowing you to evaluate the effectiveness of your advertising.
