Redman Technologies is pleased to announce that our next generation content management system (CMS) is now online. This new CMS was designed to make it as simple as possible for you to manage and customize content on your Redman powered website. We’ve also launched a new toolbar which you’ll see whenever you’re logged in to your Redman-powered site. This toolbar should make it simpler to get to a number of our tools, no matter which part of the site you are viewing.
The most notable part of this upgrade is the new CMS itself. After logging in, it is easy to get started: you simply visit the page you’d like to make changes to, and click the “Edit Page” button on the top-right of your site. This will change the look of the page in a few ways:
- The top-bar will show new options allowing you to easily change the title and meta tags for the specific page you’re on.
- For Express or Express Plus themes you’ll easily be able to preview and select new colours for your site’s design, also from the top-bar.
- All customizable text areas will be highlighted with a green box with an “edit” button underneath, showing you what can be modified.
- Clicking on the edit button will allow you change the contents of the box in real time — without having to leave the page. An editor window will pop-up and allow you to make the changes you would like. Once you’re done just hit “save” and the changes are nearly instantly updated back on the page.
Over the next few weeks we’ll be refining our new CMS system to include some additional features and improvements. If you have any questions or feedback at all on our new system we’d appreciate hearing from you.
