All CampaignBase.com tools are built with the end user in mind. We strive to have users edit, maintain and expand on the content within their websites. With that in mind, each piece of functionality in CampaignBase.com can be used by the website owner or administrator.
The base editing experience within the CampaignBase.com system is the
FCKeditor which is an open source
WYSIWYG editor. This editor gives users the ability to change content, add images, links, and markup language. The FCKeditor is a simple, but robust editing experience that has been used by some of the largest companies in software.
CampaignBase.com has proprietary blogging software that gives users archives, comments, post name, date time and an avatar. To avoid any of the potentially negative aspects of a blog, CampaignBase.com allows users to monitor and approve comments. Users are also able to turn off comments all together.
To avoid spamming, CampaignBase.com uses
CAPTCHA (human verification using those warped letters) on all comments. This will ensure that all comments you receive are from a human.
Blogging also includes draft capability so that users can write a blog entry and save it as a draft for later publishing. This is especially useful when a website has multiple editors for content.
With the CampaignBase.com complete virtual press center, users can post articles from outside sources, create and post press releases and manage the information how you want. Users can do all this without any experience in HTML.
Website administrators are able to assign communications directors the ability to post and update this material for teams that need multiple members with access to editing. As with all of the CampaignBase.com, the editing experience is simple and built for speed. Furthermore, all press tools produce an
RSS feed for simple syndication.
No more posting an email address for spammers to collect and abuse. CampaignBase.com uses simple form technology that delivers emails to the desired contact and saves the information in a backside storage area in Excel format for easy use.
Users can create new contact forms in various places that are different, have multiple recipients, have custom information and more. All this protects your email address from the
web spiders that crawl the Internet looking for your email address.
Really Simple Syndication - This technology allows visitors to subscribe to your website's RSS Feeds and keep up with the new information that is published. With CampaignBase.com harnesses this technology and allows you to produce multiple RSS feeds for your website including your Press Releases Page, Blog, News, Events and more.
RSS feeds are becoming more and more popular and with the use of mobile devices, they are only going to become more powerful. At CampaignBase.com, we saw this technology as an opportunity for our customers and embraced RSS feed use throughout the website.
Now that you have an RSS Feed, you can redisplay the RSS feeds from within your website onto other parts of your website. This allows you to make changes to content in one place on your website and have the change trickle through the whole website automatically.
RSS feed readers also allow users to display RSS feeds from places like Google, Yahoo, the New York Times, and many more. These feeds will update on your site automatically without any interaction from you, ensuring that your website always has fresh content.
The CampaignBase.com events planner takes in the information for time, date, location and of your event and creates an entry. The events module lists the events and creates a link to a map using
MapQuest as well as an event description.
Events can also take payments using web-merchants like PayPal or Verisign. When visitors choose an event that allows for online payment they are able to register and pay for the event.
As with many other CampaginBase.com tools, the Events module creates an RSS feed that can be subscribed to or simple redisplayed on the front page.
Need to protect information from the public? Do you have information that you would like to have behind a password for only your team to have access to? CampaignBase.com gives users the tools to protect information and give limited access to team members. The website administrator can also give the ability for team members to edit limited content.
Roles is the name for levels of accessibility. If users need a custom level of access, they have the ability to change levels access and create new roles on the fly without having to request technical support.
Need to create a new page on the fly? With CampaignBase.com the website administrator has the ability to create new pages, select pages to template from, or create new forms. This allows the website administrator to have full access to the website they are managing, not just content management.
