Content management systems for websites

Website design on Zenario

Zenario allows website designers to design desktop and mobile-friendly sites using drag and drop tools, while permitting direct access to CSS (cascading style sheets) for page styling and layout.

At Tribal, we usually do this for our customers, but when customers use Zenario for free on their platform, or prefer to be hands-on, they can enjoy these powerful tools.

Organised site structure

People like Zenario because it uses a system of layouts to organise pages, a controlled pallette of styles, and a managed hierarchical sitemap.

When used in companies and other organisations, they layout-based approach helps members of a team edit pages, and know how to structure their content. The controlled pallette of styles ensures that people produce pages that comply with the house brand.

AI-assisted editing

Zenario's companion is called Zenia, an AI assitant. Zenia helps with advice on how to use Zenario, and will write pages in the context of the overall website. 

This ensures that content is created in the right voice and with the right audience in mind.

Zenia can SEO optimise pages by writing meta data, and can automatically create alt tags for images. And much more.

Controlled publishing and permissions

Pages can be drafted before being published, and there is a handy staging mode tool for allowing non-administrators to review drafts.

A team may be divided up, with separate permissions for drafting, publishing, and accessing other kinds of data (e.g. forms, locations, user data).

Document repositories

Zenario has powerful document management features, and a common scenario is where a Zenario site holds a repository of hundreds or thousands of documents, in a searchable form.

Secure areas

Many Zenario sites have, or contain, secure user areas. Users can log in and see data that is relevant to themselves or their organisation.

Registered users can be given timer-based subscriptions, so Zenario is used for managing membership systems, together with online payments.

A grouping system lets users be given permission to see and do things appropriate to them, while a role system connects users with their organisations, for more granular access control.

Mapping

Zenario is great at holding real-world location data, and can display locations on a map.

It can deliver searchable databases of places, such as retailers, hotels and restaurants, and combine them with marketing and sales channels.

Forms

Zenario's powerful forms system goes way beyond a simple website contact form; it can support complex enquiry forms, multiple pages, save-and-complete-later, and even in-form numerical calculations.

Forms can also be connected with external CRMs (customer relationship management systems), such as Salesforce, MailChimp, and more.

Multi-lingual sites

Zenario has support from the ground up for sites with multiple languages. 

It doesn't simply mean Google-translation, but rather that humans can check and edit pages to ensure translations are good quality and fit for purpose.

Not only are regular web pages handled across many languages, but a system of phrases helps ensure that various messages appearing around the site are fully translated, ensuring a consistent visitor experience.

SEO and performance

Sites built on Zenario are automatically search engine optimised. There are many tools for ensuring that public parts of the site are visible and easily indexible by search engines.

Sites are also fast to load, with many caching and compression techniques ensuring a good SEO score and a fast user experience.
