Welcome to the Net Step Content Management System demo.

This system is based on the ExponentCMS system. We believe ExponentCMS is the best choice for your web site content management for several reasons:

• Complete design and content separation
  Separating the design and content enables our clients to easily maintain their site content without fear of "breaking" their web site. It also makes it very simple to undate the site design or change the site design for a special event.
   
• Design flexibility
  ExponenetCMS enables us to make any design, then fit Exponent content modules into it.
   
• User Friendly
  Most CMS systems that have a "front end" site visitors view and a "back end" or "admin" section where all site maintenance is done. The parallel universes often confuse people. Administrative sections are often very "geekish", and it is difficult to understand how your changes will affect the site appearance. Not so with ExponentCMS. There is no "back end." Rather, you simply log into the site and navigate to the page you want to edit. If you have editing permission, icons will appear that represent what you can do on that page.
  You do not need to know any HTML or other Geek to operate your ExponentCMS based web site....you just need to Point and Click!
   
• What You See is What You Get (WYSIWYG) site text editor.
  Edit your content via a WYSIWYG text editor that enables you to enter content in a MS-Word like environment with no need to know HTML. Upload and insert pictures. Upload and link to documents such as PDFs. Insert links to pages in the site or anywhere on the web.
  NetStepCMS takes WYSIWYG to the next level by integrating WYSIWYGPro, a powerful feature-rich site editor that is exceptionally simple to use.
   
• User Access Control
  ExponentCMS has a powerful user access control system that enables site owners to easily control who may see/edit each page.
  For example, you are working on a page, but it's not ready yet. All you need to do is uncheck a box to hide the page from the public.
  
  
• Targeted Content: Another strategic use of user access control is to develop content only for certain users or user groups. You could create a user group such as "Investors", and create content you want only investors to see. Within a few clicks you can hide the content from the public and reveal it only to the Investor Group. When you add a new user, you add them to the Investor Group to enable them to see the content.
   
• Powerful Site Modules
  ExponentCMS has many modules that may be inserted on any page. They are simple to operate, and we can customize their appearance for you. Custom modules are also available.
   
  • Text Module: Place a text module anywhere in the site and start typing. Text modules may also be formatted for special content such as customer quotes or special headlines so you only have to enter normal text, and Exponent formats all the text for you.

  • Image and Text Rotator: Create a library of content that will be randomly selected each time the page loads. This is ideal for customer testimonials, images, tips, quotes.
