CommonSpot's template architecture boosts site productivity by putting the power of creating and managing templates squarely in the hands of the people who use them. Creating templates is as easy as creating pages. Choose your layout, drag and drop to optimize, and add in the appropriate content objects. Then simply lock down what you don't want changed and save. That's it.
Templates can be as simple or sophisticated as you like and include scheduled or dynamic content, social media, multimedia, and more, all without coding. CommonSpot stores properties and content for each template within the database, enabling an advanced inheritance structure that makes it easy for team members to build on the foundations of approved page design and functionality. A robust, flexible security framework makes it just as easy to protect the design elements you rely on to communicate your brand.
Assign metadata and categories to templates to make them easy to find, and save them to the section of the site where they are typically used. Individuals can manage the templates they own from a personalized dashboard, and administrators can easily view and manage templates across your site. There is no limit to the number and type of templates you can create and distribute to meet the needs of your team and audience.
