For one week only (until August 6th) you can get CMS Builder at a special price of only $149.97, a savings of $50 off the regular price. If you were looking to get started with a content management system that can be set up quickly and easily, now's the time.

CMS Builder makes it easy for non-technical users to update and edit the content on an entire website. Plus, with how easy and quickly you can set up your site, you'll greatly cut down on your development time, meaning more time to spend on other projects.

You can use CMS Builder to easily manage any area of your website. With just a few clicks you can create an "editor" for managing your news articles, job postings, your contact us page, customer testimonials, or just about anything else. And you can create as many editors as you want, each with their own set of tailor-made fields for the type of content your website has.

Order CMS Builder now, and have an easy to update site in no time!

Our programmers are hard at work! Along with updates like the latest version of TinyMCE and a few improvements to the plugin system, we've added some great new features, like a "View" menu option. This allows you to look at the content of any post, without the ability to edit it -- this is a great option if you need to print the contents of each field (without the WYSIWYG editor and other editing options getting in the way) or for users who need access to look at content, but shouldn't be able to change anything.

NEW FEATURES

• Added new "View" menu option to record lists (enabled under Admin > Section Editors)
• Added new "View" menu option to Related Records lists (enabled in Field Editor)
• Field Editor: List fields may now have a Default Value
• Category Sections: Added new setting: Section Editor > Advanced > Max level of depth for categories

With CreatePDF, CMS Builder can create PDF's on the fly. With the easy-to-use developer functions, you can automate PDF generation from web pages, html code and even remote urls. By creating a regular HTML page with a single line of cut-and-paste code to the top, you can have your page display as a PDF instead.

Providing your content in PDFs is great for:

• Printer-friendly "info" sheets for your visitors
• Making it easy for a user to download and save your page to their computer for reference
• Creating PDF invoices and reports, or emailing content as PDF files
• And much more...

You can display PDFs 2 different ways:

• Inline: displayed in the browser window
• Attachment: send as a download to the browser to be locally saved

Purchase the CreatePDF add-on in our add-on store anytime. As soon as your purchase is complete, you can download the add-on immediately and start creating PDF's!

We've just released Auto Backup v1.02 with the following changes:

• Fixed incorrect version number from 1.01 (still reported version as 1.00)
• Fixed issue where weekly backups weren't always being updated.

If you are using weekly backups, make sure you update ASAP to ensure your backups are being created and maintained as expected.
