OpenCms

Kick off your next page in OpenCms by choosing New and selecting the content type your team agreed on—news item, product detail, blog article, landing page. A guided form walks you through the essentials: headline, summary, hero media, tags, and any custom fields your site uses. When you need narrative, switch to the rich text editor to draft copy, format headings, insert links, and drop in images or tables. Save, preview on desktop/tablet/phone breakpoints, and rely on templates to keep colors, spacing, and components consistent with your brand and accessible markup.

Work with teammates using a clear review path. Turn a draft into a submission, add a note for the reviewer, and route it to the right person or group. Approvers see a visual diff against the live version, can leave comments inline, and either send it back or publish it. Use timed rules to automate releases—schedule a product announcement for Friday 09:00 and set it to expire after the promo ends. Permissions keep people focused: grant editors access to specific sections only, let approvers handle sign-off, and reserve template or structure changes for admins. Every save creates a version, so you can compare revisions or roll back in seconds if a change doesn’t land well.

Polish visibility as part of your workflow. Complete SEO fields with titles, descriptions, and alt text; refine the URL slug; set canonical links and redirects after restructures; and let OpenCms generate sitemaps. Templates output clean, semantic HTML that search engines and assistive technologies read well. The built-in indexer powers fast on-site search—tag content, test common queries, and add synonyms to surface the right results. Cross-link related items or reuse snippets so updates ripple everywhere without copy-paste.

Site builders and developers can shape the editing experience. Define structured schemas, build HTML/CSS templates with reusable widgets, and lock down brand-critical elements while leaving safe zones for authors. Create component libraries for hero sections, feature grids, and CTAs, then expose simple options (images, text, alignment) to editors. Manage multiple sites or languages from one place, share assets across teams, and migrate content between staging and production using export packages. Store PDFs, spreadsheets, and media in the repository, control access, and track file history—no more guessing which version lives where.
