It's never been easier to design, prototype and test your site. And changing your site's architecture after the fact's a no-brainer, too. Honestly, adding, renaming, and deleting pages in SAM is like falling off a virtual log. Even relocating entire sections of your site is as easy as moving one page.

Dynamic Navigation: The Amazing Morphing Menus

Unlike most content management tools out there, SAM manages your entire site. Now you can edit your site's structure as well as it's copy. Add a new page and all of the site's dynamic navigation devices are instantly updated to include it, including main and subordinate menus, as well as "breadcrumb" and footer navigation—even the site map is automatically updated to include the new page. Move pages around horizontally and vertically throughout the architecture; all subordinate pages automatically travel with the newly relocated page, and, just as importantly, all hyperlinks to those pages are maintained.

Really Rapid Prototyping

If you like the idea of actually testing your site's information architecture before committing to a look and feel (and who in their right mind doesn't?), you're going to love SAM. The Universal Protosite methodology allows you to immediately begin building and testing your site, without those pesky subjective design decisions getting in the way. Work out the most important elements of your website—the organization, navigation and labeling—in a live wireframe environment before your graphic design team produces even so much as a thumbnail. Quickly experiment, user test, and refine. Test again. Work the bugs out now; avoid costly mistakes and rework later.

Hiding and Unhiding Pages

SAM makes it a snap to keep pages hidden from view until you're ready to display them. This is ideal for creating "dark" pages or entire microsites dedicated to emergency response procedures, and other applications. Of course all dynamic navigation automatically updates to reflect the change—or you can designate pages as...

...Orphans and Landing Pages

SAM even accommodates unique pages that live outside of your site's current structure. Such pages are useful tracking and measuring the effectiveness of targeted marketing campaigns and special promotions, as well as many other applications.

Manage Your Metadata

Another SAM innovation. Take complete control of metadata, both at the "chunk" and the page level. Simply enter keywords, descriptions and other metadata using the fields provided with each chunk. SAM concatenates this data, and even prioritizes it based on the chunks position on the page; items at the top of the page get top billing. The metadata is published in the HTML and is available to all search engines, just like you'd expect.
