How It Works

Most companies looking for a hosted CMS solution like CompanyWebsite typically have some form of static website already in place. Often times, the website is neglected or outdated because the organizations themselves tend to be small- to medium-size businesses and do not have the luxury of a full-time Webmaster dedicated to managing their website. In most cases, organizations are seeking to allow their in-house staff to easily update their site. In other cases, businesses want a complete site re-design with improved navigation, search engine optimization, a better overall visitor experience, and more.

Stay in Control with CompanyWebsite
One of the key advantages of CompanyWebsite is the multi-tiered levels of control for each website.  The primary site administrator for the organization (franchisor) replicates sub-sites from a Master Template, which has pre-populated content and/or images for corporate consistency. Once the sub-site has been set up, a User ID and Password are assigned to the new administrator.   From there, individual website managers can update content text, images, and more using the web-based CompanyWebsite control panel.

It's That Easy!
The web-based control panel gives users full control over website content and images without changing the layout. Individual website owners can add or modify text, create new pages, or insert pictures with just a few clicks. The diagram below is a very simple illustration that shows the process of managing a site with CompanyWebsite.

CompanyWebsite Implementation Steps:
CompanyWebsite is easy to set up for existing website layouts. In as little as two weeks*, franchisors can have their master template set-up and replicating sub-sites. Once everything is running in CompanyWebsite, you're free to make changes to your Master Template.  Best of all, since CompanyWebsite is Internet-based, so there's no software to install and updates are made using a Web browser!
