SiteWide CMS®: Content Management for Mid-sized Organizations

For many mid-sized companies, the return on investment of the large full-featured content management products just doesn't make sense, but the small, limited products don't have the features they need. That's why we created SiteWide CMS. Born of over a decade of experience providing custom content management solutions for clients, SiteWide CMS has the features you need without the bloat and complexity of the larger products and at an affordable price.

Pull Model

SiteWide CMS implements an on-demand "pull" model for page generation. New, approved content appears automatically on existing site pages with no separate page publishing steps. This makes keeping site content up-to-date almost trivial for content administrators, who are free to focus on content management instead of web site management. It also means turnaround time for urgent updates is virtually instantaneous.

Flexible Content Structure

SiteWide CMS provides an extremely flexible content structure, organizing content in a hierarchy that content administrators define. The hierarchy can be extended at any time as needs grow and change. Organize content by topic, by department, by editor -- however it makes sense for your organization. Also, content structure need not, and typically should not, mimic your presentation structure. This means that generating your second, third, and subsequent front-end from the same content repository is as straightforward as your first.

Content Lifecycle

Individual content elements have a lifecycle with administrator-defined publication, archive, and expiration dates. Load your content in advance and forget about it: SiteWide CMS automatically makes your content available to users only for the period you specified. Manually overriding the automatic settings on a case-by-case basis is fully supported.

Advanced Access Control

SiteWide CMS's advanced access control module lets you define which administrators can view, edit, preview, and approve specific content, as well as which site users can view content. You can also configure access to different sections of your web site for different groups of users. For example, some pages may be viewable by the public, but others only by registered users. Combine the two mechanisms and be in total control of access to your content.

Simplified Workflow

Newly loaded or edited content appears in queues awaiting administrator approval. Once logged in, these administrators review just the content they are responsible for, and approve or reject with the click of a button.

Customizable Asset Meta-data

Associate properties you define with content and then search, sort, and show content based on their assigned values.

Web-based Administration and Management Tools

All the tools you need to configure, manage, and mainain your content are accessible from any web browser. You have full control, when and where you need it.

Flexible Deployment Options

SiteWide CMS is a J2EE compliant web application that runs in dozens of servlet containers on multiple platforms. We officially support Solaris, Linux, AIX, and Windows; Weblogic and Tomcat; Oracle, SqlServer, and MySQL.

Developer Tools

Want to build and/or maintain your own web site as well as manage your content in-house? SiteWide CMS comes with a rich set of J2EE tag libraries for building dynamic, always up-to-date pages.
