Smoothgreen Application Portal release 2.0 that offers perhaps the easiest Content Management Framework of managing a Portal: the Administrative Interface looks quite similar to the User Interface! So, when the Content Publisher gets to see the changes on the user interface as he keeps updating the content through his content management interface.

The Smoothgreen Application Portal release 2.0 has the following features:

1. Choice of Templates
   Smoothgreen Application Portal release 2.0 provides Content Publisher a series of designer templates (created for every new portal) to choose from while creating a new content page - – typically used in publishing 95-98% of site content. All, he has to do is to choose the template and then fill the different page units with text, visual or graphics.

 In case, the Content Publisher wants to create a freely designed page (not from an available designer template), he can use the Rich Text Editor to create a page on his own – typically used in publishing Monthly Newsletters, Tenders and Contracts.

So, a Content Publisher can:

• Create a page using template
• Create Free Pages (non-designer pages)
• Create a Link to an External URL
• Create a Link to a Downloadable Document

2. Designer Templates
   
   To keep your site consistent and content contextually relevant, Smoothgreen Application Portal release 2.0 provides a set of designer templates for every customer, which are programmed to restrict users from deviating from the standard look and feel of the website.
   
   
3. Intuitive Content Administration Screen
   
   Smoothgreen Application Portal release 2.0 provides a visual tool that allows Content Administrators, to modify content seamlessly. The Content Management Interface closely resembles the actual Portal look & feel - this ensures that the administrator sees any change that he does instantly get reflected on the page.
   
   Smoothgreen Application Portal release 2.0 enables the administrator to manage the site deployment and any changes that might be required on the site at a later date.
