Admin Redesign

We are in the process of installing a new Admin Interface for Gutensite, which will be much cleaner, and hopefully refreshing to all our clients that have been editing their sites for years. One of the exciting new features that we will be implementing is a visual "Site View", which will function as a way to see and edit all the pages of your site in a more visual and hiearchical way. You'll be able to use drag and drop reordering and we'll be simplifying the way you add pages and content to your site.

Many people who first start building a site are overwhelmed by the task of organizing all their content, creating container pages (categories), etc. The new Site View Interface will make that process more simple, by automatically creating default categories when you add new content and streaming the content to those pages automatically. This will make things simple for everyone and advanced users who later need to add further layers of organization with additional categories can do so as they need to.

This is the first part of a broader redevelopment effort which will be making content management and publishing much easier. It's part of a strategy that will begin to help you think of your website as a stream of interrelated content. Whether it's a PDF File, Video, Blog, Calendar Event, Images, etc, it doesn't matter. If it's related to other content throughout the site, based on matching labels, it should be accessible to your visitors without a manual process of tedious linking one piece of content to another. This process can and should be more dynamic and automated, so that you can simply add content to your site, and let the site publish it in multiple places where it's relevant.

More to come on these changes.
