SiteMachine

Functionality

SiteMachine is an extremely advanced website content management system. Over the last eight years Interdirect has conceived, designed and developed it, making it as reliable and as feature rich as any content management system available today. Amongst many other features SiteMachine enables website administrators to:

  • Add, edit and remove pages 
  • Add, edit and remove sections of pages 
  • Scheduled content publication 
  • Publish and consume content via RSS 
  • Manage content editing and publishing workflow 
  • Generate automatic site maps 
  • Generate Google site maps 
  • Create advanced website search systems 
  • Manage search engine optimisation 
  • Validate content against WAI / W3C standards 
  • Spell check content  
  • Archive and restore pages 
  • Backup the entire website, including images, code and the database 
  • Manage search term vocabularies (Controlled Vocabularies)

In short, SiteMachine provides all of the features that you are likely to require from a modern content management system; and if by the slightest of chances it doesn’t then Interdirect can add them.
 

Flexibility

SiteMachine has been designed to be modular, thereby enabling its advanced set of content management functionality to be augmented by “plugging in” other, more specialised, feature sets such as those required for ecommerce (MallMachine) and email marketing (MailMachine). This extensibility makes SiteMachine very flexible and very powerful. Indeed, over its long life, Interdirect has taken advantage of this flexibility by creating a wide range of other modules such as Booking Systems, Forums, Wikis and Blogs. In truth, there really isn’t any limit to the modules that Interdirect can create for SiteMachine.

SiteMachine has been in development for many years and as a result is not only highly evolved but also very stable. It is used to underpin the majority of Interdirect’s web design projects.
 

Findability

Interdirect has a proven record of creating websites that search engines find very easy to parse and catalogue; and SiteMachine is the secret behind this success.

Interdirect’s content management system, has been designed and built with search engine performance firmly in mind. This means that websites built upon SiteMachine not only enable search engine spiders to read and accurately contextualise their content, but also it enables website administrators (or their agents) to fine tune the website’s performance by enabling them to tweak the website’s structure and content.
