Content Management System
A content management system (CMS) is an application that allows you to manage content on your website or software application. To most companies this is a huge advantage, as they are able to make content updates without the need of consulting with a developer and updates to your website are immediate. Interactive Lion has incorporated its knowledge of over 15 years to develop, and design, a content management system that will allow you to manage your application, or website, from anywhere in the world with ease.
Our CMS platform allows you to build web pages, news articles and forms on the fly without any knowledge of programming. If you are even a little bit versed in using Microsoft Word, you will be able to accomplish tasks that usually require the intervention of a high paid programmer. All of our modules are "code free", meaning you only need to be able to follow prompts and instructions to promote content to your new site.
Our WYSIWYG (What You See is What You Get) Editor has all the built in features that you will find in your Microsoft Office Suite. Text, styling, images and links are simply a click away. No more guessing what HTML is and how to make it work! Imagine yourself creating this page that you are currently reading in the same amount of time that it takes you to write a Word document. Askyourself a question, what is that worth to you or your company?
