Priding itself on security, flexibility and usability, Composr 10 is a simple and secure CMS that can be personalized to create a truly unique web project. It uses HTML5 as standard, with PHP scripting language and a MySQL database. But what really sets Composr 10 apart is its built-in functions. Part of the ocPortal philosophy has been to provide a CMS that doesn’t require numerous extensions and plugins in order to achieve sophistication. Unlike WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, and other CMS competitors, who rely on extensions to improve specific functionality or design, Composr 10 has the following built-in features:
- Setup Wizard to create unique, personalized design layouts with customization of features, colors and templates from the start
- News and blogging feature to keep site visitors up to date, with scheduled publishing
- Newsletter function with a ‘double opt-in’ feature to filter for real subscribers
- E-Commerce and subscriptions function with an extendable framework and a shopping cart for inclusion of an online store
- Events calendar featuring event reminders and advanced ‘recurring event’ settings
- Wiki+ tool allowing you to create an encyclopedic database for your web project, featuring a unique tree structure display of the wiki+ for increased usability
- Quiz section that includes competitions, surveys, and tests to gather data or entertain site visitors
- Membership system to allow your site visitors to register as members for your web presence
Other features include an intuitive and automatically handled search engine optimization (SEO), an organized downloads database, and a WYSIWYG editor. Composr 10 also boasts an impressive built-in affiliate tracking service that allows you to track when a site visitor clicks on an affiliated ad. This can remove the need for additional affiliate tracking software and enable users to sell ad space on their sites. Composr 10 isn’t hard-coded with a traditional separation between front end and back end, but offers complete control over permission and privileges, allowing the creator to authorize exactly which sections of the site are visible to visitors, members, editors, admins, and so on.
