eSync

eSync

Prior to eSync, deploying or updating a Web site was a complex, risky process of moving data, templates and code from the development environment to production servers. eSync revolutionizes the process, providing whole site synchronization with the click of a mouse. Now, you are able to move only the changes you want to move, from a single piece of content to an entire Web site, making updates efficient and eliminating site downtime.

Advanced URL Aliasing

URL Aliasing

SEO is critical to the success of Professional and Enterprise deployments, and CMS400.NET brings advanced URL aliasing to the table. The more descriptive, human readable addresses that v8.0 auto-generates translate into more returns for your site’s pages by search engines. Taking advantage of CMS400.NET’s taxonomy, the new URL aliasing is able to auto-create site aliases that are not only human readable, but also have real relevance with names that are based off of the taxonomic structure (or folder structure).
