EyeSite

EyeSite is a fully-fledged content management system that powers dynamic, standards-compliant websites. It can be used to manage content across multiple sites via a consistent interface that integrates with your back-end applications.

Ease of Use and Flexibility

With EyeSite's industry standard formatting and layout capabilities, users at all levels of technical ability are empowered to create professional looking pages. At the same time, power users are still able to tweak the underlying markup for a greater level of control.

Powerful Features and Performance

EyeSite combines all of the best practices and features that you have come to expect of content management systems. Meaningful, search engine optimised URLs, RSS feeds and international language support are backed up by a rich, scriptable templating system and smart caching. With smart caching, you get the best of both worlds: a dynamic, instantly updateable site with the performance and reduced bandwidth requirements of static content management systems.

We take performance seriously, using the same performance techniques as seen on high-transaction databases. In our testing, EyeSite has proven to be around twice as fast as other popular content management systems.

Security and Workflow Management

Sandfield's proven and secure user management and security foundation enables you to define specific user groups and roles within EyeSite for effective delegation of content management. EyeSite enhances this with additional workflow features that oversee content creation from authorship through to sign-off and publication.

Competitive Against the Best

EyeSite is heavily standards-based, relying on proven .NET technologies, and it leverages best of breed open source components (including the same rich content editor used by Facebook and Wordpress and the same high performance search engine used by LinkedIn and MySpace). EyeSite features include:

Full web standards compliance
Rich content editing
Advanced user management
Tight integration with back-end systems (for administration)
Tight integration with back end data (for data-driven pages)
Highly customisable templates
Search functionality
Dynamic page generation with smart caching
Workflow features to coordinate authoring and publishing
Content versioning and history (including auditing and rollback)

EyeSite's tight integration with back-end systems extends to the ability to leverage a shared security and user management framework. As well as reducing the burden of maintaining a separate set of users, roles and permissions across disparate systems, this also means that end-users enjoy a consistent and familiar user interface.

EyeSite is also able to offer a high degree of flexibility and customisation – including the ability to mix solely CMS-driven pages with dynamic experiences that leverage and interact with data from back-end systems.
