What makes Evolution CMS so unique?

What makes Evolution CMS so unique?

The manager is very fast, faster than many other CMS. After you have logged in to the manager, you can edit a page from the resource tree (pages) with just 1 click. Because the resource tree is always visible on the left of the manager you can edit your pages on the fly. The use of the manager is easy and understandable for everyone. With many CMS you have different locations to edit content, on Evolution CMS its all located on one page. This is quite unique and also very useful.

It is up to you to determine which customizable content fields will appear on the page. You can easily add, move and organize fields in tabs.
