Features and Benefits

Power Features

We don't think that "easy and affordable" should also mean "stripped down to the basics." Smart Choice is chock full of powerful, sophisticated tools and features that anybody can use.

Dynamic Content: The content or more specifically, the articles often get confused with "web-pages". They are one and the same. A new web-page is made simply by adding a new article and publishing it. The article in written using a WYSIWYG (pronounced wizzy-wig) editor. The acronym stands for "what you see is what you get". You simple type your text, highlight, change colors, upload images, re-size them, then publish the page to a menu item or category. It is that easy.
100% Scalability: Smart Choice is built around an open programming language that makes it easy to sync outside applications and databases. Users have developed over 4000 "drop-in" plugins for common programs and tasks. Smart Choice hand picked the best components and the website comes with the hottest applications pre-installed.
SEO Built In: All of the best Search Engine Optimization tools are built right in. from meta tag management, Google Analytics to search engine friendly URL's
Easy to Use Control Panel: The administrator section of your website has been designed to be the easiest and most user friendly available, without sacrificing the power. You don't need any HTML skills in order to use the control panel. The software can not read your mind (yet) so you will need to understand some basic concepts of the software. We guide you through this learning phase. Be weary of any company making the claim that their software is the easiest to use. Smart Choice uses the same software that over 1,500,000 business and individuals use on a daily basis. This is not a fly by night CMS solution.
Dynamic Menus: Smart Choice gives you the power to edit menu items in real time. You can change ordering, publish or unpublish menu items with a single click. The best part is you can prepare a whole new section of the website, and once it is complete you can then launch it. Simply go to Menu Manager and publish it.
It's Really Easy to Edit: Through a CMS, editing the content on your website is as easy as sending an email or using Microsoft Word! You simply type in your content through the CMS interface which is liken to typing in a word processing software and the CMS will publish it in the website. There is no need to learn programming languages such as HTML, PHP just to change the content of your website.
