Welcome to o5webdesign's CMS DEMO Area

	Test Drive Our Content Management System - CMS Please ensure that you get a username and password from us, then follow the instructions below.

How CMS works A CMS allows you control over your own website in the sense that you will be able to edit the content and images on your site yourself. A CMS does not allow you to change the look and feel (layout and design) of your website. Should you wish to do that, you still need to have it done by us. The CMS will give you 2 views - the normal view of your site as you would see it displayed on the internet - we'll call that site view. And an admin panel - meaning and administration side where you will have to login to be able to edit the contents of the site. Admin panel access is restricted to yourself and us and is password protected to keep unwanteds out. During this demo, we will request that you switch between views so, if you use IE6, open the site view and the admin panel in 2 different windows. If you use IE7+ or Firefox, open the site view and the admin panel in 2 different tabs. Everytime you do something in the admin panel, switch to the site view and press control and F5 to see the changes on the actual site immediately.

Site View The demo CMS is not a very exciting site to look at (in the sense of design and layout) but it was not designed for this. It was merely designed to allow you to test drive the CMS. To view the Site - please click here

Admin Panel The admin panel is where you will log in to edit the site contents. Here you can add new pages, edit pages, delete pages. You can also do the same with text and images (content) of your different pages of your website. If you look at the Site View - in the footer at the bottom of the page you will see admin login - this is where you will access the admin panel on your own website.
