What is Stage Manager?

If keeping your website up to date is a complex and costly process, Stage Manager is the perfect solution.

If you already have a content management system, but it's not flexible enough for you, Stage Manager is your next step.

Put simply, Stage Manager puts you in control of your website. You can add new pages, amend content, manage media libraries, edit images on the fly, update your navigation, run a sitewide search engine and much more from the comfort of your own office - and without needing to know anything about HTML, Dreamweaver or Frontpage.

The Stage Manager interfaceIf you fancy yourself as a designer, you can even change the look and feel of your pages - and if you decide that you preferred that way the a page looked before you changed it, that's fine too. Stage Manager lets you revert to a previous version of the page.

There's no fuss, no complication and no waiting for web designers to update your pages. All you need is a computer, an internet connection and basic PC skills (if you can use Microsoft Word, you can use Stage Manager!)

One size doesn't fit all!

Stage Manager isn't an off-the-shelf package. We'll come and meet with you, discuss what you need your website to do for you, and build you a tailored version of Stage Manager which lets you run it.

And while we're discussing a functionality brief, we'll talk design, too. However you want your website to look, Stage Manager will work with it.

As standard...

Stage Manager sites are XHTML valid and accessible to at least AA-standard (WAI guidelines).

Our sites come with their own internal search engine and a sitemap to help your visitors find what they want first time, everytime.
