Manage your content, and leave the design to designers.

Graphical design is only a very small part of running a successful website.

Freestyler separates content from design so your content editors can focus on writing great content while your web developers work on the design. With this appproach, your content becomes protected against any future design changes, and your content automatically adapts to your latest corporate style guide.

Freestyler also helps you manage your content, with handy features such as content update reminders, automatic expiry and automatic publishing, so your content will stay fresh and accurate.

Create web-ready images without the hassle.

Content editors no longer have to worry about slow-loading pages or incompatible image formats.

Freestyler will accept images of almost any format, and will automatically create web-optomised versions at the right size for each template - simply upload any image, and Freestyler do the rest (the images on this page have backdrop shadows courtesy of Freestyler).

Make friends with your website, and your customers.

Freestyler FriendlyURLs give every page a unique and easy-to-remember website address, which is jargon free and easy to remember.

Both of the pages addresses below point to the 'Parks and Gardens' listing of two different websites. Only one is using Freestyler's FriendlyURL feature. Can you spot the difference?


FriendlyURLs are great for search engines, but more importantly they are great for your customers, making it easier for you to email page links to customers, or read them out over the phone to customers.

Preview your entire site.

Interactive preview
With Freestyler, not only can you see your page just as it will be before it's published, but you can navigate and use your entire site!

Freestyler's full-site preview feature serves each page interactively to the user, so you can click through the site, use interactive templates such as noticeboards and forms, and see exactly how it will work when published.

View your page. Try out your site. If you navigate to a page that needs some work, simply switch back to edit mode at any time to edit the page you are currently viewing. It's that simple.

Share confidential information with confidence.

Freestyler security protects your sensitive data
All of your content is protected by Freestyler's innovative security system, and you can create closed user groups to share information confidentially - great for customer extranets or membership systems.

With some Content Management Systems your private data can still show up in search results, however Freestyler was built from the ground up with security in mind, so protected content stays protected.

Freestyler is the perfect CMS for restrcited-access websites, customer extranets and workgroup portals.

Great value for money.

Best of all, Freestyler is available to suit all budgets, and provides great value for money whether your a small business or a multi-national.

Feature packed and ready-to-go.

Some customers will welcome the advanced features including scheduled data backups, multi-site content replication, spell checking, reference constants, single sign-on, Active Directory integration, version control, content rollback, check-in/check-out concurrency and multi-step workflow editing.

Web developers can access Freestyler's developer tools where they manage the site templates and information architecture. Advanced Web Jedis can harness the full power of Freestyler's Smarty architecture and PHP API.

And system administrators love Freestyler because it runs on Linux, Windows and Mac, and uses either MySQL or Microsoft SQL Server. However, if you're an IT Department of one, let us host it for you. We can set up a Freestyler site in less than 10 minutes.
