Crown CMS - Content Management System
CMS by Crown is
Crown CMS is the web content management system for successful websites and dynamic portals. It can be extended by two fully integrable modules: Crown Commerce for Web shops and electronic trading, and Crown Community for forums and social networks.
The success of a website depends not only on design and content – a number of technical features also play an important role. Crown CMS meets up to all the requirements of a modern website. It allows you to realise small but also extensive web projects quickly and easily. And above all Crown CMS sets new standards regarding security and performance.
You can edit and maintain your content with just a few intuitive clicks directly on your website. Integrated modules for news and newsletters help you keep your site up-to-date – an important aspect for online marketing and PR. A further success factor is the ranking in search engines. Crown CMS supports the high standards required by Google to put you at the top of the list and offers the ideal basis for search engine optimisation (SEO).
Designers and developers in agencies particularly value the high levels of flexibility. Design and interactive functions are not limited in any way. The function ‘Layout to CMS’ is especially popular, as it can turn your designs into a fully functional website in a matter of days.

Crown CMS follows the given design allowing the easy implementation of interactive features. Designers and developers enjoy the unlimited freedom regarding design where everything is possible.
Individually definable templates separate layout, content and navigation to allow greater liberty whilst creating the HTML code. Ajax forms optimise the site’s usability, motivating visitors to interact. An easy-to-use template language (FreeMarker) permits the integration of almost any function. Overcome the limits of standard content management systems! Pre-prepared elements are available for image and multimedia galleries, for news and newsletters as well as full text search and secure areas.
Multilingual functionality is only a few clicks away. Unicode (UTF-8) is supported, allowing the implementation of language-specific typefaces including Chinese, Japanese and Greek.
Crown CMS is dimensioned to handle an unlimited number of websites thanks to its multi-domain and multi-client capabilities. You can run a number of Internet and extranet sites or microsites in a single system. For agencies there is also a central management system for customer projects.
The ranking in search engines is a crucial success factor for a website used as a marketing tool. A top Google ranking will enhance the reach of a website, thus considerably influencing the number of visitors. Crown CMS offers the ideal basis for search engine optimisation (SEO).
Besides the content-based factors, there are also high technical requirements for a successful ranking in search engines. This includes flexible naming possibilities for files and directories, the correct marking up with page names and meta tags as well as search engine friendly programming (XHTML and CSS).
Crown CMS supports all technical requirements. Automatically generated site maps guide search engines through the website during indexing. Numerous techniques, that can cause a negative ranking or even exclusion from search results, are successfully prevented by Crown CMS.
A solid choice of technology, the fundamental authorisation system and the professional hosting all guarantee the highest level of security – in all areas.
Crown CMS is based on Java technology and has a fundamental authorisation system. These factors alone protect the system from a variety of attack scenarios. This is a great advantage in comparison to open source or PHP-based solutions. The dangers of HTTP request spoofing, cross site scripting, SQL injections, session fixation or session hijacking are just a few examples.
Professional hosting in a data centre is an integral part of Crown CMS – and guarantees operational security. This includes regular security updates, full data backups and the failure-safety of a fully virtualised environment.
High-powered servers and innovative caching and rendering processes guarantee fast page loading and offer visitors exceptional comfort, increasing the overall acceptance.
The hosting in a professional date centre – in a fully virtualised environment – offers ample capacity for heavily frequented websites, with extra capacity to spare. An innovative caching method that is responsible for the loading time of the page, boosts the interaction of the visitors and reduces the server load.
An additional increase in performance is provided by the rendering method that combines the advantages of static page generation with those of fully dynamic page generation. Data is generally buffered in the main memory or in local files. This prevents delays during page requests. Dynamic content is only generated when a data set has been altered or a new data set created.
Maintaining a website with Crown CMS is as easy as using a word processing program. Given designs are retained by exactly defined format guidelines.
All you need is a web browser to create or edit web pages. You do not even need any technical knowledge. This generally leads to more frequent updating of the site – a vital factor in keeping your pages up-to-date. The clearly arranged workspace is in fact very similar to a basic word processing program. Opposed to standard systems the editing does not take place in an administration menu (backend) but directly on the website (frontside editing). And we usually do not have to coach new users to get them started – Crown CMS can be used intuitively.
Crown CMS offers a editing and versioning system for the publishing process enabling several users to take on different tasks. Authorised users can approve pre-prepared content and control the exact time of publication.
Images, Flash animations and video clips can easily be integrated. Format and size are automatically recognised.
Exactly defined format guidelines guarantee that the original design is preserved.
From the design to a fully functional website in a matter of days. Based on your initial layouts ‘Layout to CMS’ gives you HTML and CSS code which is then worked into the CMS. A standardised system guarantees high levels of quality and efficiency.
Basically a website is programmed in Hypertext Markup Language (HTML) using Cascading Style Sheets (CSS). The quality of the code is vital for the correct display of the pages in various browsers and terminal devices, for loading times and – of course – for the ranking in search engines. The development takes place with special attention given to browser and search engine compatibility and accessibility. The term "accessibility" refers to the ability to access information on the Internet for as many people as possible, including the visually impaired.
It is possible to turn your design into a website in only a few days. As a template we can use any standard graphics format including PSD, PNG, AI and even existing HTML code. All results meet up to the latest standards (W3C Valid XHTML).
