Most web sites require specialized skills to create and maintain their content, which is typically carried out by either one or two individuals within an organization, or a third party web development company. This dependency on having just a few people capable of editing the web site can result in frustration, delays, increased expense, and an overall inefficient use of time and resources. Church-Link resolves this problem by introducing state of the art content management features which enable even non-technical users to create and maintain a web site without any web development experience. Church-Link puts you in complete control of your web site - from the creation of pages and text to the activation of dynamic, interactive modules.  Ministry leaders can share the task of site maintenance by taking responsibility for their own sections of a single site, which results in greater efficiency time management. Here are some of the great time saving content management features included in each Church-Link subscription:

• WYSIWYG editing (What You See Is What You Get): Content authoring is similar to using a word processor such as Microsoft Word, enabling even non-technical users to create and maintain web site content.
• Easy page management: Create new web pages and edit existing pages with just a few mouse clicks.
• Customizable Menu Structure: Administrators have complete control of the site navigation structure. Easily set / move pages to any place in the menu hierarchy to organize site navigation according to your needs.
• Tabbed / drop down menu navigation: Site navigation can be configured to display a set of horizontal tabs and / or nested drop down menus. Vertical side bar menus are also available.
• Image / document / Flash / media libraries: Content authors can upload, manage, and insert multiple file / media types, including images, documents, Flash movies, MP3, etc.
• Integrated Spell Checker: Misspelled words are automatically underlined in red. Content authors can right click to expose a list of possible alternatives, or initiate spell checking on an entire area of text.
• Expand / collapse content sections: Create sections of content on a page that end users can expand and collapse with a mouse click.
• Content start and expiration dates: Each page and module configuration contains optional start and expiration dates, allowing administrators to post date and / or expire pages and content in advance.
• Content Staging: Allow authors to make incremental changes and preview content prior to publishing to the site.
• Content Versioning: The system will automatically save versions of published content.
• Change Tracking: When change tracking is turned on, authors can view the various content changes that have been made during a particular session.
• Content Rollback: Authors can revert web content back to a prior version.
• Recycle Bin: The Recycle Bin stores all pages and modules that have been deleted from a site. These pages and modules can be restored or permanently removed.
• Printable versions of pages: Each module can be set to display a Print icon that displays a printable version of its content in a separate browser window.
