Oak Features
Oak gives you total control over your website so that all you need to worry about is what you want to say on your website and when.
It’s all too easy to find content management systems that are cluttered, unintuitive and difficult to use. We’ve taken this into consideration and built Oak, a content management system with a difference.
Oak is an easy-to-use yet powerful content management system that’s customisable to almost any requirements. It enables you to access the content on your website quickly and update it effortlessly. Well, as effortlessly as it can be without someone else doing it for you.
Here’s just a small selection of the features that Oak offers as standard:
Easy Page Management
Oak gives you the ability to create and manage limitless numbers of web pages without the need for technical knowledge. If you want to move a page to another area on your site, no problem, simply drag and drop the page to where you want it to be. Or maybe you want to see how your page looks before you publish it, then the preview button is the button for you.
Common, Clear Administration Screens
We’ve listened to our customers and made sure that Oak provides consistent and uncluttered administration screens. This means that once you’ve learnt how to add a page, you’ve also learnt how to add or edit a blog post, an event, a news item and more.
Built-in Version Control
Even the most organised and thorough of us find times when we need to go back to an earlier version of a document for one reason or another. Oak automatically saves previous versions of all your web pages and posts, making publishing an earlier version of your content as simple as a click of your mouse.
Blogs
For anyone unfamiliar with blogs (short for web logs), the easiest way to understand them is to think of them as online diaries. The blogs in Oak give you the ability to provide an ongoing chronicle of information about a range of subjects, such as your business, developments or product launches.
RSS Feeds
RSS (Really Simple Syndication) feeds can be a great way to share your information and updates with subscribers. Oak makes it easy to set up and use your own RSS feeds, allowing you to share important information with customers and encourage them to return to your website.
Form Creator
Creating your own web forms can be a complicated process that may involve technical teams or updates to your existing content management system, well not anymore. The form creator in Oak gives you the flexibility to create whatever forms you want, when you want.
Images
Images add interest and colour to your website, but adding images can often be a complicated and technical task. Not any more. We’ve made uploading images simple. What’s more, if you upload an image once Oak will give you the option of adding it to each of your pages in a range of different sizes. What more could you ask for?
Friendly URLs
Don’t you just hate long, complicated URLs full of numbers and funny characters? Well, so do we, which is why any website that we build for you will have friendly URLs. No more unsightly URLs on your website, in your literature or anywhere else.
Site Searches
People need to find things quickly and easily. Any content on your website is automatically indexed. This means that when a visitor to your site searches for a specific term all relevant pages are listed in the results.
Site Maps
Large and complicated websites can be difficult to find your way around. Our site maps give you the option to provide visitors to your website with an outline of its structure, helping your customers while also helping your search engine rankings.
Document Library
Some content management systems store documents in a complicated hierarchy of folders making it difficult to find what you’re looking for quickly. Oak stores all your documents in one central document library, saving you time for more important things.
Simple Text Editing
Adding or editing text is as simple as typing it on your keyboard or copying and pasting from an existing document. The simple and intuitive text editor makes most tasks as simple as clicking a button meaning there’s no need to use html, unless of course you want to.
Search Engine Optimisation
Simply having a website isn’t enough, it’s also important that people are able to find it. This is where Oak’s built-in search engine optimisation features can help make your website work for you.
Events Calendars
Sharing information about important events with visitors to your website couldn’t be easier. On-screen calendars clearly show dates when events are taking place and provide further information at the click of a mouse. Behind the scenes, adding event information is quick and straightforward, even with recurring events.
