Text pages can be categorized via a collections system, creating groups that can appear anywhere on the front end. General Text Pages and text entries can also be enabled or disabled. I-Metrics CMS also includes a subscription module for e-mails and a professional email module used to generate email templates. Images can also be grouped in a similar manner having titles, short descriptions as well as ordering resources.
Tuned for SEO, the stock template this content management system comes with, positions the vital text elements to the top of the HTML code enhancing page exposure while maintaining the original page layout. The substitution of most tables with DIV tags reduces the HTML code emitted thus reducing download times viewing the page content.
Compatibility is also one of the prime objectives of this project. I-Metrics CMS can operate in different environments with old and new versions of PHP, and the stock templates are tested with different browsers and browser configurations.
