Over the last few years, we’ve implemented a number of websites in the Sitefinity content management system. From a technology perspective, we love the system for its robust functionality, its ability to integrate with other systems, multiple widgets and its user-interface, but, why should you love it?
Whether it was posting a news item or updating the branding areas on the homepage, when it came to updating content on your website, you needed to have someone with coding skills do it for you. Not anymore!
While there are multiple content management systems out there for you to choose from (WordPress, Drupal are a few that come to mind), we wanted to share with you why we love Sitefinity.
- You don’t need to wait for someone to update and edit content. Once your website is launched, you can add content such as news items, blog posts, articles, and more without the help of a developer.
- You can create dynamic mash-up pages using widgets. Let’s say, you’re posting a case study about a specific project. As part of that specific page, you may consider posting in a news widget that highlight news related, blog posts or events related to the project. You may even want to pull in video highlighting key accomplishments about the project.
- It’s easy to manage title tags and metadata. In many cases, adding title tags and metadata requires help from a front end developer. Not in Sitefinity! You can manage metadata and title tags for your pages by going to the page’s “Titles and Properties.” Once you’ve added them in the appropriate boxes, save it and go ahead and publish the page. Be mindful though that Sitefinity doesn’t allow you to use any symbols except a dash.
These are just a few things we like about Sitefinity. What about you? What do you like about Sitefinity?
