CMS
A CMS that lets you edit your own website.
Change any text, swap any photo, update your prices or opening hours, all from your phone in seconds. It goes live straight away, with no monthly platform fee and nothing you can accidentally break.
The honest bit
How this compares to a website builder.
Monthly platform fee
Typical website builder
Standard, on every builder.
Our CMS
None.
What you can edit
Typical website builder
Layout and content both, so there's plenty to accidentally break.
Our CMS
Content only, text, photos, prices, reviews. Layout stays exactly as built.
Where your content lives
Typical website builder
Locked into their platform, hard to move.
Our CMS
Stored separately from the site's code, so it survives every future update.
Who it's built for
Typical website builder
A generic template you adapted to fit.
Our CMS
Scoped specifically to what you'll actually want to change.
What it does
What you can change yourself
Contact details
Phone, email, address, hours and service area. Change them once and they update everywhere they appear on the site.
Live open/closed status
Show a live "Open now" or "Closed" badge that works itself out from your opening hours, so it's always right without you touching it. Available on request, and best left off for emergency trades who don't want "Closed" showing when they'd still take the call.
Text on any page
Your hero, your service descriptions, every heading and paragraph. Reword it, fix it, update it yourself.
Photos and gallery
Replace any photo on the site, add captions, and manage your gallery. Add new shots of real work whenever you have them.
Services and prices
Add a service, edit one, reorder them, delete what you no longer offer. Update a price list the moment it changes.
Reviews and rating
Add your real reviews, reorder them, and toggle your rating badge on or off. Real reviews only, shown exactly as written.
How it works
Log in, change it, done.
You get a private login you can type on a phone, no complicated password to remember. Make a change and it's live in seconds, with no rebuild and no one to email.
Your content is stored separately from the site's code, so it survives every future update we make. Photos are handled automatically, sized and compressed for you as you upload them. When it's set up we walk you through the handful of things you'll use most, and we're on the end of the phone if you get stuck.
Why bother
Keeping your site current helps you rank.
A website that never updates looks abandoned, to customers and to Google. Fresh photos, current prices and accurate hours are signals that your business is active and looked after. The businesses that keep their site current tend to be the ones that keep ranking.
How to get it
Added when we build, or fitted later.
Set up on your site when we build it, or added to an existing Eight Two Digital site whenever you're ready, with a walkthrough either way.
Questions
Straight answers
Easy for anyone. It's built around the specific things you'll change, in plain language, on your phone. If you can use WhatsApp, you can use this.
