	create your layout
	With the Solution Toolbox Sitebuilder you are not limited to pre-defined template libraries. Unlike similar systems such as Joomla and Dotnet Nuke, Sitebuilder is a Hosted application with a built in layout designer. There is never a need to dig through existing lines of PHP or HTML to build your layout. With our easy to use WYSIWYG editor you can quickly and easily build a layout using classic HTML tables or even CSS for advanced users. With Drag N’ Drop ease, you can define the header, footer, navigation and even custom areas. Once your layout has been defined, simply right click on any area and begin editing/designing immediately without ever leaving the page.
	manage your webparts
	Web parts are the areas that make up your layout and can include, headers, footers, navigation and even custom zones. Most of the web parts are edited with our powerful WYSIWYG editors, which allow even non-technical users to generate rich HTML without any existing knowledge. The editor also accommodates the advanced user with full HTML access, CSS (inline and external) and JavaScript/JQuery support. Some of our web parts, such as the navigation area, have specials editors geared just for them. Our menu builder allows users to build rich, dynamic menus with sub-navigation and rollover effects with point and click ease. The menu builder also supports custom menu systems such as Flash, JavaScript, CSS, HTML or any combination.
	pulling it all together
	The web parts and the layout are pulled together to create a reusable template for your website. This template can then be used to quickly create content pages or to skin additional features such as our Shopping Cart. The Solution Toolbox Sitebuilder also has support for multiple templates. Users can simply create new layouts and web parts or even reuse existing web parts when creating a new template.
	build your webpages
	Once your template has been created, adding a content page couldn’t be easier. Simply select an existing template, and then use our powerful WYSIWYG editor to build your page. With Drag N’ Drop ease, users can quickly add images, Flash, text and HTML Elements such as tables, links, and bulleted lists. As always, advanced users can take advantage of full HTML access, CSS and JavaScript, but even non technical users can build rich CSS with our CSS WYSIWYG editor. Adding functionality to your web page has also been simplified with our module library. Simply Drag N’ Drop features such as forms, photo galleries, blogs and site searches onto your page. All of our modules are highly customizable and easy to configure. With the properties editor, users can edit Meta keywords, Meta descriptions, page titles and even perform URL rewrites.
	the cms (content management system)
	The Solution Toolbox Sitebuilder comes with a powerful, built in CMS system. Forget about the third party CMS plug-ins that sit on top of your website. Our CMS has been integrated into the very core of our product. With point and click ease, non-technical users can make simple or advanced site changes in real-time. CMS access can be limited by web parts, content pages, modules or any combination. Simply create a new user and assign the desired roles. CMS users can also be granted access to view site statistics and form data, create new pages, edit Meta content, manage customers and process online orders.
	and so much more...
	Even though Sitebuilder is labeled as a website development platform, its capabilities are almost limitless. At the flip of a switch users can enable a fully functional shopping cart solution complete with credit card processing, product catalog and order management suite. Sitebuilder can also function as an online marketing tool with the help of our email blaster and banner rotator modules. Furthermore, users can extend the functionality of Sitebuilder by creating custom plug-ins or enabling password protected content. The Solution Toolbox Sitebuilder goes even further to assist with the sometimes overlooked aspects of web development. Our powerful rendering engine automatically generates your XML sitemaps and robots.txt files. While this has zero influence over your site’s appearance or performance, it allows search engines and web browsers to find your site easily. Our engine also helps improve your web site’s load time by automatically compressing static and dynamic content using GZIP. Furthermore, our system automatically reduces files size by removing the extra white space contained inside your CSS and JavaScript files. Even after your website is complete, our system is hard at work silently collecting statistics, tracking usage, indexing your content and making sure your data is safe by performing daily backups and running real-time security and performance monitors.
