Why Develop with Cascade CMS?

There’s a reason countless colleges, universities, and institutions for higher education utilize Cascade CMS to power their websites. With tools that allow them to publish across platforms and top-notch security, Cascade’s server helps them make ground-breaking research or further the education of countless students with a simple permissions system and unlimited users.

eWay Corp has been servicing and building sites on versions of the Cascade CMS for years as a dedicated website developer. Working with us and our expertise comes with peace of mind in security, speed, and unparalleled customer support.

• 

  Simple CMS

  With simple and easy to use templates that control how your content gets displayed, adding information, events, and editing content has never been easier. In fact, Cascade CMS empowers your non-technical users to easily get into the platform and create or edit content. This is one main reason why Cascade CMS perfectly works with the massive system of the higher education sector. You can focus on the content and let Hannon Hill and eWay handle the code and development.

• 

  Decentralized Management

  Your company can continue to grow without the pains created by user role/permissions management. Departmentalize your management of the site by sectioning out teams and controlling the areas in the CMS they can affect. This works especially well with universities who have multiple stakeholders from various programs. Why? Because you can create a “Business” and “Engineering” team and assign their management options to only focus on their program’s portion of the site.

• 

  Multiple Sites, Shared Templates, Consistent Feeling

  To minimize time spent working on multiple sites, Cascade allows templates to be shared, pages to be cross published, and edits to be shared across singular or multiple platforms. Talk about ease of access for all end-users. Your admin team, development team, IT team, and all other users can have access to the pages that need work from their respective departments. For the vast organizational structure of educational institutions, this takes efficiency to a higher level.

• 

  Static HTML = Faster Load Times

  Unlike a typical CMS that hosts templates and content database separately, Cascade is unique in that each page of your website is created as an HTML file. This means a user’s browser goes and loads a single HTML file comprised of your content instead of loading your layout template and connecting to a database to populate it. Couple this technology with the eWay solutions and you have the top-rate flexible, precise system to your advantage.

• 

  No Outages

  What robs any business of necessary exposure and potential revenue is outage. Cascade runs on public-facing web servers and is therefore a public site. This means that even if CMS has an outage, your sites won’t be affected. Your users can bid error pages farewell as yours will always be operational. eWay Corp’s 24/7 technical support further assures that, any issues, if any, do not remain for long. Companies in the higher education field are enjoying the stability of this system today.

  Process and Workflow Management

  With a fully customizable management system, you can grant granular permissions to any individual or department working within the site. If you have two sites running, you can give an administrator publishing approval power to only one of these or grant a content editor the power to edit sites, but not the permissions to publish it. You can even build out the process by which content is approved and published. With that said, you clearly have more control in your hands as has been the case for educational institutions.
