An Introduction to the Content Manager

The Content Manager is an easy to use application that allows you to create "articles" (content boxes) in a user-friendly control panel which once inserted into the pages of your website, can be easily updated by anyone without any web design skills. The content manager is ideal for the management of rates, specials, and other content on your website that needs to be changed frequently. The Content Manager is ideal for websites which do not have a content management system, but at the same time, is much easier to use and update than any other content management system.

How does the Content Manager work?

  1. Once you are logged in to the content manager, you can create an unlimited amount of "articles". An article is a section on your website which you would liket o be in control of and be able to update yourself at any time without of having to contact your webmaster.

  2. For each article, the content manager automatically creates a unique link which we will insert into your website (or you can send the link to your webmaster).

  3. From now on, you can update the articles on your website you have created previously simply in the control panel of the Content Manager. Any updates will be immediately written to your website.

What are the advantages of the Content Manager:

  • The Content Manager allows you to update sections on your website without of having to contact your webmaster.
  • The Content Manager gives you flexibility to update content on your website as often as you would like to.
  • The Content Manager is ideal for websites which do not have a content management system and can save you lots of money you would otherwise spend on converting your site.
  • The Content Manager is much easier to use than any other content management system.
  • The Content Manager removes the burden of constantly relying on your webmaster to make changes on your website for you.

When it comes to search engine optimization, we strongly advice against the use of content management systems for the design of websites. This has lead us to develop the Content Manager, to provide owners of static websites (those where the file names in the Url normally end with htm / html or php) with the ability to manage certain sections on their websites which are less important for search engines (like rates, specials, guest comments, etc.) to be updated by themselves at any time and without of having to learn complex content management systems, while maintaining the advantages of their websites for search engine optimization.

The Content Manager is included in all our Website Hosting & Promotion Packages.

A brief case study

In the past, it was common to update rates on websites once per year and specials were mainly negotiated once a visitor has made an enquiry. In todays competitive market, it is crucial to constantly monitor the rates of your competition and the market in general and to provide specials to fill the gaps (last minute specials) or entice visitors to book early (early bird specials) or to promote periods of lower demand, packages, etc.

The Content Manager allows all this but opens up much wider possibilities. With the Content Manager, you can easily update for example an "upcomming events" section on your website, post your latest guest reviews on the home page or any other relevant and interesting content that needs to be up to date at any time. By doing this, you show visitors to your website that you care about your site which also gives an indication that you care about your establishment.

The number of ways in which you can use the Content Manager is only limited by your imagination. Some of our clients use the Content Manager to post daily on the home page of their website a special for any rooms available, successfully selling off their distressed inventory and getting bums in beds. Others simply use it to provide more up to date information about location and events.
