Content Management System
**Please Note: Our CMS is currently under redevelopment with the first release slated for early December of 2011. Please stay tuned for a revamped, rebuilt, retuned, and all around improved version of our CMS.
For the time being, our online demo/sandbox will be unavailable.
We'd like to invite you to try out our very own Content Management System, specifically designed and developed for use on all of Arcadia Site Design's customer's websites. Unlike most of today's CMS's, ours has been designed with the typical average user in mind. We have done our very best to design and develop a System that's as easy to use as it could possibly be.
There's no real reason that you should have to keep paying someone just to make small changes and updates to your site over its lifetime - 
especially when you could be easily making these changes yourself. With our CMS you can confidently and comfortably make the necessary updates to your content yourself, without requiring any specific knowledge or skillsets at all (aside from using a mouse and a web browser!)
A common issue of using one of today's common CMS's like Joomla or Wordpress is that you don't really know what you're going to get until you're finally done updating and changing your text, and clicked 'Save'. You then have to go back to your 
site, take a look at your changes, and if they're not what you wanted, you then have to go back into the 'editing' portion of your CMS and make the necessary changes from there again.
Put those days behind you -- or better yet, don't even experience them, because with Arcadia Site Design's CMS, you get to see any changes or updates you make on your site in real-time.
Want to see what your text would look like if you enlarged it slightly?
Select your text, choose your font size, and watch as your site updates instantly to adapt your changes.
Want to see what your page would look like if you added a few more lines of text to a section?
Start typing - and with each letter you type, your site will be instantly updated to show your changes.
These changes aren't permanent either of course. If you don't like them, simply hit 'Cancel', or 'undo' to undo any of the last changes you made.
Perhaps you'd like to replace or update an image on your site? With just a few clicks you can upload your own images, and you don't have to worry about losing your previous images because they'll be saved in a list if you ever decide to go back to them.
If your site has been set up with a Gallery, or any sort of collection of images, documents, audio, or video files, we have built in managers for each types of these files that allow you to efficiently organize multiple files at once. Sort the order your images appear in a gallery; or change the text that accompanies a video file. Work quickly and easily through your site's content, without worrying about the 'technical' stuff.
We've also just added an SEO feature to our CMS, that allows you to update and change basic SEO information related to your site. Change the description that shows up in google when people search for your site; change the keywords that are associated with your pages when people search for them; and update or change the titles of your website's pages. Having the right 'words' in all of these options can significantly effect your Search Engine ranking, so we felt it was only fair for you to have access to such things if you felt so inclined to want to modify them!
After all, a very important factor in Search Engine Optimization is consistently changing and updating content, so what better reason to update your site than to help with your SEO as well?!
