Many of todays small to medium sized business owners are no strangers to multitasking. But updating your own website? The Horror!
Adster feels that as an owner operator, nobody knows the unique nature of your business like you do. So, when it comes to creating valuable web content, who better than you to do the talking?
Managing Your Website Content with FLEX
Built from the ground up with small owner/operator businesses in mind, FLEX is a CMS built for speed, security, ease of use, and allows our typically non-technical clients to build amazingly well search engine optimized web pages without even trying.
For the more tech savy out there, FLEX is a robust MVC (Model-View-Controller) Content management system that is based on the CakePHP framework. Whew.
Perhaps the coolest thing about FLEX, is that it isn't an 'off the shelf one size fits all' solution - each and every build of FLEX only includes EXACTLY what you, your staff and your business needs to maintain your website - and nothing to confuse you. Sounds almost too good to be true doesn't it? But wait, there's more!
Out of the box, you'll get features such as:
- 3 levels of user permissions / access
- Incredibly simple to use web page publisher / editor
- A way to easily manage your Contact information, Business hours, etc

In addition to these core features, FLEX also has some amazingly cool 'modules' we've built with small businesses in mind, and can help you create killer content with ease - check these out:
Gallery Module
This beauty allows you to easily upload, crop, and re-size your images, and even get create with an online 'Photoshop' style image editor*. From there, organize, label, drag, drop and sort your pics in a way that just makes sense. And of course, FLEX has everything SEO optimized to the max.
Staff Module
Your visitors love to get to know you via your website - that's why we created the staff profile module. This great function allows you to easily create and organize staff profiles, and easily upload properly formatted pics of your team, professional credentials and qualifications, length of time with the company and much more.

Your existing customers love you, so why not let potential new ones know that on your site? The testimonials module will allow you to easily input these 'glowing' reviews from happy clients, along with personal touches such as your customers name and an easy to upload photo.
Portfolio / Case Studies Module
This has proven to be an amazingly well converting module almost every time we've used it. This great feature allows you to really 'tell a story' about a particular project, including details such as the overview of the job/project, unique challenges that were faced, and of course, the final results and outcome. This can also be topped off by the addition add some 'before' and 'after' photos that showcase just how much of a difference the work you did made. A popular choice with contractors and tradespeople, this module has a wide range of applications - and really gets the phone ringing!
Ecommerce / Shopping Cart Module
We've found that most of our clients would love to sell a few products online. We also found that there didn't seem to be too many solutions that allowed them to easily add products, categories, prices, and manage their orders without committing to a complicated ecommerce based CMS. This module is the answer! FLEX's Ecommerce module provides a simple way to add, categorize, and manage your products, as well as track orders. Built by default to work with PayPal (which includes VISA, MasterCard, and more), this module can be plugged in to most payment gateways and can be scaled just how you like it.
Links Module
Providing your site visitors with links to external resources and websites can be a great way to offer additional value. This simple module allows you to easily type or copy and paste a link, Give it a name, and write a description. Simple, effective, and easy!
