ARK CMS Features & Benefits
ARK CMS is designed to make managing websites easy.
The following table highlights the features and benefits ARK CMS provides for you, the user.
| ARK CMS Features & Benefits | |
|---|---|
| Role Based Security
| The security model works on allowing access to ARK menu items and functions based on a user’s role (ie group functions such as editor) as well as by access level and / or item by item access control. Easily control who has access for site editing |
| Release Scheduling
| Each organisation has different release criteria, and ARK enables the releasing of content to be automated on a schedule or manually when complete control is required by the user. Scheduling is automated and includes time, day, week and month etc Your website can be released at any time. |
| Complete Historical Updates | The design templates and structure for each item / page is stored indefinitely. At any point, previous article or page objects can be reproduced and replaced while retaining their inherent site properties; such as filename and path. The most common reason for this form of replication is when a site graphic redesign is required. ARK manages all the updates within minutes and retails all previous links and path structure so no documents are lost, leading to a site without defects. Rebrand your site without losing any pages of content easily |
| Suits any site design
| Many CMS products force their templates (with minor variations) onto the site design for your site. ARK has no such restrictions. ARK’s template model allows any site design to be integrated without costly re-programming and only minimal configuration time. No restrictions on how your website looks |
| E-Newsletter Tools
| ARK comes standard with an integrated newsletter tool which can easily capture site content and reproduce in either html or text only format. Users can allow online subscribing / unsubscribing, list management and scheduled newsletter release. Easily deliver your live content in newsletter format. |
| Content Categorisation
| To enable access and easy placement of content on the site, ARK employs a simple categorisation model. The categorisation model ensures that content creators can place their content in the right place, and editors/site management can validate the item and how it should look. Allows content creators to place content on site simply. |
| Content Syndication
| Creating content to be used on other sites or integrating other content is easily achieved. Using a variety of methods, XML, complete page production or data streams, other sites within or outside your corporate framework can have access to the content / articles you want them to have using the automated syndication ability. Produce content for other sites at no extra cost. |
| Article Archive | ARK builds sites based on the concept that the content lives forever. Items not being access are still available for reproduction and access as part of the archive. Ideally your site will not provide broken links from search engines or page to page links from important older items. ARK ensure this doesn’t happen. Never lose any previously created content. |
| Premium access area | Each content item can be allocated to a premium access area, in order to restrict access to internal users or paying subscribers. Allows you to restrict and potentially charge for content. |
| Powerful Templates | ARK templates allow for powerful page design which is controlled exclusively by the site design / management team. Unrestricted page tools mean better user-friendly sites. |
| Page Manipulation | While the template and site core structures are kept out of the reach of the content editors, page manipulation is not. Lets content creators place content without the need for programming skills. |
| Metadata Management | Complete meta data tagging system built into the templates allows standard default tags for the site to always be included into every page, as well as keyword meta-tags specific to an article or piece of content. Easily make content suitable for search engines. |
| Staging Environment | ARK produces all content to a complete virtual staging environment, which replicates the live site in all facets. View, proof and edit all elements of your website offline before sending live. |
| Workflow Controls | ARK produces all content to a complete virtual staging environment, which replicates the live site in all facets. Allows you to work the way you have always worked. |
| Browser Based | ARK uses current browser technology as its software interface. This includes IE, Mozilla based browsers and Mac browsers. No additional software required. Very easy to support. |
