Super Easy to Use

The success of a Content Management System deployment often hinges on how easy it is for non-technical users to use and adopt the system.  ShadoCMS has a site tree that delivers a big picture, multi-functional, view of the site enabling non-technical users to easily complete multiple tasks in one screen.  The structure of a ShadoCMS content-driven site is based on the notion of sections, pages and containers. This concept makes it easy for users to intuitively understand where their content is being created and how it will be displayed on the site. Combining this with task orientated menu options and in context editing, ShadoCMS  enables you to gain rapid adoption of the system in your organisation.

Multilingual Marketing and SEO

Search rankings (despite the hype of social media) remain one of the primary ways people find what they are looking for on the web and is a major factor in determining if someone can find your website. SEO has traditionally been heavily US and (by default) Google centric. However the emerging markets are fast becoming the growth engine of the gloabl economy and search companies search engines such as Baidu, Naver and Yandex can no longer be ignored at the expense of having a Google centric strategy.

The core principles of SEO are broadly similar across most search engines and we have developed the SEO module in Shado to enable companies to execute their search strategy through the one platform.

I'm a Designer - Are You Going to Restirct My Creativity?

The powerful ShadoGCMS templating engine is incredibly flexible meaning designers have no restrictions in the way the build sites. With a multitude of navigation and menu options templates can be easily built using standard API features embedded inside almost any type of design.

I'm a Developer - How do I Work with Your Product?

Adaptability is often the key to success and ShadoCMS has all that is required of an Enterprise CMS to easily extend and integrate with other systems. Its very powerful, yet easy-to-use, API enables developers to extend and customize applications and sites in ways other products only let them dream about. The underlying technology is based on Java and the Adobe platform and gives you enterprise level functionality but a simple scripting interface.
