A tip for those with large websites and hundreds of pages, since v6 you can find any page in the Evolved CMS Admin by starting to type its name in the top left menu search box. All page are searched for, even hidden or not available pages (but not pages in Trash).
Over the years we have developed a fairly standard footer which has been tried and tested to perfectly suit most of our clients needs.
What’s in a footer you might ask? As you can see below, quite a lot!
‘Copyright 2010 XXX’ identifies our client as the copyright holder of all materials on the website
Copyright year automatically updates each year
Privacy Policy links to the Privacy Policy page which has clear and relevant information on storing of peoples details, website content & mistakes, copyright and more. Our clients can update this page to suit their purposes in the Extras > Privacy Policy area of the CMS Admin.
E.g. http://www.evolvedwebsites.com.au/extras/privacy-policy/p/8
‘Page updated 21 July 2010′ shows your visitors how often the website is updated. Each page automatically shows the correct date when it was last updated in the Admin.
We also send this to Google and the visitors Browser to save time and resources so they can ‘cache’ information until the date on a page changes.
