Agentic AI for Agencies in 2026

It was a mild yet sunny October day in Paris, and just a short distance from the world famous L’arc de Triomphe, the eZ Conference 2016 was about to kick off.
Before I get into the conference itself, let me just take a moment to comment on the superb venue.
The Châteauform' City Le Cnit is a relatively small building in comparison to the stunning skyscrapers that surround it, but its architecture is remarkable nonetheless – both inside and out. Kudos to the eZ Systems team for their venue selection.
<h2>“CMS Is Not Dead”</h2>
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/img_6465733x0-is.jpg" />
The opening keynote was delivered by the founders of eZ Systems, Bard Farstad and Aleksander Farstad. Together, they shed light on the vision of eZ Systems, hammering home their content-centric approach.
Interestingly, they saw it fit to also mention that:
<blockquote>
.<a href="https://twitter.com/eZSystems">@eZSystems</a> founders <a href="https://twitter.com/bardfarstad">@BardFarstad</a> &amp; <a href="https://twitter.com/AleksFarstad">@AleksFarstad</a>:
“CMS is not dead, it's just not the CMS you knew from the past.” <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/eZConf2016?src=hash">#eZConf2016</a>
— CMS Critic (@cmscritic) <a href="https://twitter.com/cmscritic/status/783643953530798080">October 5, 2016</a>
</blockquote>
What they meant of course, was that the way in which consumers consume content has changed drastically over the last ten years – and eZ Systems is prepared to help brands take their content to audiences through every available channel in a way that's consistent.
It was a solid opening keynote which settled everybody in for the day ahead. There was a business and technical track running simutaneously, so every attendee would have felt catered to.
Mark Brincat from The Economist was next up, and he showcased some of the benefits that eZ Systems had afforded the global publishing company. At one point, he walked us through the astonishing array of channels that The Economist's content can be found through.
<blockquote>
From Amazon Echo to Apple TV; thanks to some help from <a href="https://twitter.com/eZSystems">@eZSystems</a>, <a href="https://twitter.com/TheEconomist">@TheEconomist</a> has a seriously long list of distribution channels.

</blockquote>
Coffee and snacks were available throughout the day, and there was some fun to be had, too.
A wacky photo competition was in full flow during break time, and an interactive table made it possible for attendees to squeeze in a quick game of Candy Crush before the next presentation.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/img_64622482x2448-cropx458y0-is384x0-is.jpg" />
Kieron Sambrook-Smith from <a href="https://platform.sh/" target="_blank">Platform.sh</a> also presented, and he used his time to walk us through the benefits of Platform, which enables enterprise-grade software to embrace the power of the cloud. So far, they have partnered with large brands such as Orange, Magento, Microsoft, and most recently, eZ Systems
<a href="/ez-systems-partners-with-platform.sh-to-accelerate-development-of-content-rich-websites-and-applications/" target="_blank">Platform's partnership with eZ Systems was only recently announced</a>, and naturally, that announcement came as the eZ team unveiled their plans to offer a cloud based PaaS (Platform-as-a-Service) solution.
<h2>The Pitfalls of Digital Transformation</h2>
Dietmar Schantin from OwnWay Media capped the day off by taking us through his personally selected, ‘7 Pitfalls of Digital Transformation (And how to Avoid Them)'.
He touched on the lack of resources, poor management, and lack of efficiency that so often plagues the digital transformation process of a brand or organization. He also offered some sound advice on how to combat each issue.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/img_64712048x1335-cropx0y223-is580x0-is.jpg" />
It was an insightful and highly relevant presentation which I thoroughly enjoyed, and the live Q&amp;A session that came afterwards went down a treat, too.
To polish off the day, eZ hosted their annual awards ceremony later in the evening. There was plenty of pre-award food, hype, and entertainment (the master of ceremonies was seriously good at his job), and the awards themselves were handed out with a few jokes. It was effortlessly casual, and that felt perfect after a day of formalities.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/img_64842048x1344-cropx0y404-is576x0-is.jpg" />
Now that I'm back in my hotel room, I can safely say that day one of the eZ Conference 2016 was a success. The atmosphere was jovial, the food was good, and the presentations were useful. Plus, the awards ceremony was pretty damn entertaining.
Here’s to an even better day two!

Ghost, one of WordPress' competitors in the blogging arena, have made some major interface changes improving the overall look and feel of the system and making it easier to work within it.Here's a screenshot of the new interface:<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/zelda635x0-is.png" />Now, for comparison purposes, here's the old one:<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/2013-11-11_07_11_23-mozilla_firefox_1125x0673x0-is.png" />Are you can see, pretty significant changes. From the post on Ghost.org announcing the change:<blockquote>This project has been a work in progress since the end of last year, and we're very excited to see it being used out in the wild.The biggest change has been to the main structure and navigation within Ghost's admin. We were fast hitting the limits on the old top-nav placement. The new side-menu placement should provide some familiarity to most desktop applications, works better on mobile and, significantly, gives us a lot more space and flexibility to introduce upcoming new features. Winky face.</blockquote>Search has also been improved drastically as show in the animated gif below:<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/search.gif" />For more information on Ghost <a href="/products/ghost">visit their page</a> in the CMS directory or check them out on the web at <a target="_blank" href="http://ghost.org">http://ghost.org</a>

Ghost Improves Interface with New Look and Functionality

<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/understandinguxd-620x354.jpg" alt="understanding user experience design" />
When you hear the phrase “user experience design,” you will have one of two reactions: 1) you skip over the phrase because it sounds like meaningless techno-jargon. 2. You latch on to the word because you know what UXD is, and want to find out more. For the uninitiated “user experience design” is the kind of term you just want to skim over, because you frankly don't care.
This article is going to tell you what you need to know about user experience design. It's pretty important.

<h2>So, tell me. What does UX, UXD, and UED mean?</h2>
First off, lets get the acronym stuff out of the way. UXD and UED stand for User Experience Design. The end goal of UXD and UED is UX, or User Experience.
<h2>Who needs to be concerned about UXD?</h2>
The people who are interested in UXD are mostly designers and developers. However, UXD affects more people than just those who use codes and colors. If an organization is involved with the web, UXD is important for just about everyone in that organization.
<h2>I still don't know what it is. Please define “User Experience Design.”</h2>
Here's the formal-sounding definition. User experience design refers to how a person (user) interacts with (experiences) a piece of technology (design).
<h2>What does UXD look like in real life?</h2>
Let’s pretend that a tech company wants to create a device that measures the heart rate of swimmers, times their laps, and tracks their progress toward specific goals. Maybe that want to create an aquatic form of <a href="http://runkeeper.com/home" target="_blank">RunKeeper</a>….SwimKeeper. In order to create this device or application, the designers and developers need to determine the best support device (e.g., Android, iPhone, waterproof case), any accessories required (e.g., underwater heart rate monitor), an interface for usability, understandable actions (swipe, tap, scroll, etc.), and additional features that may be helpful for swimmers (e.g., team goals, competitions, etc.).
The whole process of developing the device and software is a design process — experience design. Thus, every member of the development team participates in user experience design as they create SwimKeeper (or whatever they choose to call it).
<h2>So, how does it all work out in practice?</h2>
When a digital design firm, software business, or app developer begins a project, UXD should be leading the project. Everyone who is involved in the project carries forward a component of UXD. The visual designer's UXD contribution is to makes appealing colors, button sizes, and logos. A crucial contributor to UXD, the programmer, minimizes delay time for loading and startup screens. The information architect advances UXD by creating a wireframe that is aesthetic and intuitive. The project manager visualizes the tasks of the enduser, and how it all relates to UXD.
Unless the team has a clear, unified UXD strategy, team members will either start crying or throwing pens at each other.
<h2>What is a good UXD strategy, then?</h2>
UXD underlies much of the activity of technology firms and online businesses. It's important, then, to have a UXD strategy. Here are three points to remember as you consider your UXD strategy.
<h3>1.  Know what UXD is.</h3>
This is easier said than done. There is no single sacred and unbending definition of UXD. The term is so broad and unwieldy that it defies tidy definitions. Just check out <a href="http://uxdesign.com/about-user-experience-design/article/top-ten-seven-definitions-of-ux-design/24" target="_blank">this conflicted article</a> by uxdesign.com.
However, despite the definition-defying nature of UXD, it’s helpful to have some awareness about what it is and how it works. If your team has the same general definition, all the better. At the very least, become acquainted with UXD and some of its components. <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_experience_design" target="_blank">Wikipedia</a> is a fine place to start.
<h3>2.  Figure out your users.</h3>
Now it’s time to dig into the real work of user experience design. User experience design is, obviously, about how the user experiences and interacts with your stuff. So instead of just making cool stuff, you must start by understanding the users. Who are they? What do they do? How do they do it? How do they think? What do they like? Where are they? Why are they doing this? How much money do they have? How old are they? What language do they speak. This is a process of questioning, interviewing, understanding, researching and knowing. In the long run, it pays off.
Keep in mind that a good UXD strategy is more than just making stuff with nice features, a good-looking design, or a flawless interface. User experience is about psychology and the enigmatic and dynamic interaction between humans and computers.
<h3>3.  Unify your project around your user profile.</h3>
The process involves the user at every step of the way. Since you've figured out who your users are, you can now deliver a product that meets their needs. Your entire project has a focal point — the user. Now, whip out your best UXD and get to it!
Mary Muckerman, in an article for Fast Company, wrote, “user experience is the heart of any company.”
The heart? Of any company? Really?
It’s a big statement, but it’s true. User experience influences everything, or at least it should.

ShopLocket, known for being a sleek and easily embeddable eCommerce solution, is shutting its doors for good. Thankfully for ShopLocket users though, FoxyCart are extending a helping hand.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/shoplocket-logo-fc61f95548fc7c1c05ad9dd827fca615.png" /> According to the notice on the ShopLocket website, June 30th is the official discontinuation date.
ShopLocket has also issued some advice on what their users should do next. Essentially though, ShopLocket users have no choice but to jump ship.
<h2>FoxyCart To The Rescue</h2>
Although ShopLocket users are free to migrate anywhere they wish, <a href="http://www.foxycart.com/shoplocket-ecommerce-offer" target="_blank">FoxyCart seems to be the only eCommerce solution offering a supported migration option out of ShopLocket</a>.
FoxyCart is an eCommerce solution that, like ShopLocket, is designed to be used alongside existing websites already leaning on a CMS and various business tools. FoxyCart is lightweight, popular and integrates well with a variety of platforms, from WordPress to Salesforce. <img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/foxycart695x0-is.jpg" />Here's FoxyCart's direct message to ShopLocket users:
<blockquote>
“We’re here to help you migrate over and start selling again. In fact, we’ll create FoxyCart versions of your ShopLocket products for you and help you get them on your website.”
</blockquote>
ShopLocket have openly admitted that, although users can export order data in CSV format, there's no way to export product details. Hence, ShopLocket merchants with more than a handful of products are looking at a lengthy re-uploading process to get all their products on to a new platform.
With that in mind, FoxyCart's generous offer to help with this process directly will surely be welcomed by many ShopLocket users. A much-needed life jacket for those jumping ship.

</ul>
<ul>

Users are not locked into their design choices and are liberated to swiftly implement new marketing initiatives.   </li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> Faster Content Publishing Across Multiple Channels: Out-of-the-box multi-channel capabilities are built into content and design workflows, removing the need for costly customizations and additional time-consuming steps when publishing to multiple channels. Proprietary technology automatically delivers responsive design, allowing ideal viewing of content and images on all devices.  Users can also preview, as they are editing, how content and designs will appear on desktop, mobile, and tablet devices to ensure optimal customer experiences throughout the digital experience.</li>
</ul>
<ul>
<li> Sleek and Configurable Experience:   An intuitive, drag-and-drop UI lets users easily complete tasks and perform the most critical functions quickly. They can also tailor their own experiences within the UI by configuring views, navigations, fields, and workflows in a way that best fits their specific needs and preference.</li>
</ul>
Taking a look at the new interface, you can see that it now offers a cleaner and more visually appealing look. The screenshot below is of the content editor which enables users of the tool to create, edit and update website content. It contains workflow capabilities, content configuration and in-context editing functionality as well as the ability to view multiple page layouts.

Clickability Launches New User Interface

We’ve already explored <a href="/ingeniux-web-experience-management-content-management-social-collaboration/">Ingeniux as a web experience management, content management and social collaboration solution</a>. Now though, it’s time to look at the platform’s Software-as-a-Service (SaaS) positioning.<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/ingeniux_cms_home_preview668x0-is.png" />Ingeniux CMS is offered as an on-premise solution and as a software-as-a-service (SaaS) solution. The majority of Ingeniux customers use the SaaS solution, which provides full application and website management. Ingeniux has a global network with operations in the US, Canada, and Europe, and Asia.Ingeniux was early to the SaaS market. With over ten years under its belt as a SaaS solution, ingeniux finds itself in a position to offer modern brands a streamlined entry and re-entry into an online market that’s more demanding than ever before.<h2>What is SaaS?</h2>Before we delve into the benefits of Ingeniux as a SaaS solution, it may be wise to understand what SaaS actually is.Software-as-a-Service, commonly known as SaaS, is typically a software that’s centrally hosted and licensed on a subscription basis.So, instead of having software installed and configured on-premise, end users can take out a subscription, and enjoy the benefits of readily hosted, automatically set up, automatically updated and vendor-managed software.<h2>Ingeniux &amp; SaaS</h2>Ingeniux has been offering itself as a SaaS solution since 2005, Dave Hillis, the Ingeniux VP of Business Development, shed some light on how Ingeniux is positioned in the market:<blockquote>“People often don’t think of Ingeniux as a SaaS CMS, but Ingeniux is one of the leading SaaS options in content management. The platform has a very mature offering and strong Service Level Agreement. Ultimately SaaS is all about support.It’s a very different business model where Ingeniux and the customer have equal stakes in customer success. Ingeniux is part of the customer’s team. It takes a long time to learn how to be good at SaaS and build the operations and capabilities to successfully manage complex websites and applications.We feel that our track record, uptime, and service-level are unmatched in the industry .”</blockquote>The Ingeniux SaaS program also includes website and CMS application management, cloud services, 24/7 support, disaster recovery, security, and fully managed upgrades.Because of the high-level of service and security, Ingeniux has many large, regulated companies in its SaaS solutions, including financial services with AIG and Janus Capital, energy with Hawaiian Electric Company, Diamond Offshore and TransOcean, high scale media companies like Patheos, and large trade associations and Universities.On top of the benefits mentioned above by Dave Hillis, brands who adopt a Software-as-a-Service product will see further advantages.One such benefit can be found in the virtualization of the software. Virtualization provides dedicated networks that can be configured for the customer’s needs, provides a high-level of security, enhanced performance without bad neighbor degradation, and easier multi-site set-up for disaster recovery and failover.<h2>Ingeniux: Bringing it All Together</h2>The Ingeniux SaaS architecture supports zero website down-time for upgrades. Upgrades are delivered when the customer is ready, and are fully tested in a UAT (User Acceptance Testing) environment before being moved into production.Ingeniux CMS is architected for the cloud with a NoSQL database, a high performance mem-cache delivery system, native support for CDN, and decoupled architecture that supports multi-site deployment. Furthermore, the software has been certified by Microsoft for Azure Sites deployment with auto-scaling as a deployment option.The aim of Ingeniux is to capture all of these combined benefits in the best way possible through their SaaS offering. And I have to commend them for that, because those are the benefits that every modern brand is looking for.To find out more about Ingeniux, visit <a target="_blank" href="http://www.ingeniux.com/">their website</a>.

BuddyPress 2.3.0 “Livio” Released

Established in 2009, Cloudways Click&amp;Go is a Malta-based managed <a href="http://www.cloudways.com/en/cloud?id=10601" target="_blank"> cloud hosting </a>  solution.
With <a href="http://www.cloudways.com/en/cloud?id=10601" target="_blank"> Cloudways Click&amp;Go </a> , independent bloggers, designers, developers, web agencies, small businesses and enterprises can all deploy popular web applications with just one click.
These web applications include WordPress, Magento, Drupal, Joomla, and Moodle. Cloudways Click&amp;Go also lets you deploy PHPStack, which enables you to manually install any CMS or App you wish to.
Cloudways Click&amp;Go is a Platform-as-a-Service (PaaS), and is hosted entirely in the Amazon EC2 cloud – so there's no downloading or installation required. The ideas is that you configure exactly how much you want your server to offer, with the option to scale later on if you wish.
Cloudways describe their platform as:
<blockquote>“An affordable, Secure and Scalable Cloud Hosting that super-charges your websites.”</blockquote>
So, the aim of Cloudways Click&amp;Go is to simplify application deployment, before offering secure, speedy hosting with options to scale your online presence.
With this review, I'll explore just how much of that Cloudways does, and how well it does it.
<h2>Initial Thoughts</h2>
When it comes to online platforms and services, the host's website is important. It's where you go for support, and it provides customers and clients with their first impressions of the product along with the team behind it.
The Cloudways website is professional. When I paid it my first visit, I was convinced that I'd eventually be using a platform which was being run by a team who knew what they were doing – and that's precisely the type of vibe a website should send out.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/0700x0.png" alt="cloudways review" />
I did have some gripes though. Despite each page looking simple at first glance, I noticed that those same pages were quite lengthy.
I found myself scrolling more than I should have in an attempt to find out what Cloudways could do. There's plenty of text, but the main issue was the size of that text, along with the bulky nature of other elements.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/0_01700x0.png" alt="cloudways review" />
Obviously, the Cloudways website isn't their platform. However, I'm always weary of issues like these, as they often leak into the platform itself.
<h2>Getting Started</h2>
Cloudways offer a 3-day free trial, asking you to provide your email address and cell number – which is needed in order to receive a a verification code. No credit card is required though, which is nice.
As part of the set up process, Cloudways Click&amp;Go allows you to select precisely what you want your plan to include. Server sizes, bandwidth, storage size and more can all be finely configured.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/0_1.png" alt="cloudways review" />
Thanks to Cloudway's pay-as-you-go pricing system, the monthly price you pay will depend entirely on what exactly you request for your plan.
Here's what you get to configure:
<h3>Applications</h3>
First of all, you'll be asked to select which application you want to run with.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/1700x0.png" alt="cloudways review" /> 
WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Magento, Moodle, Media Wiki and PHP Stack are all on offer. For the sake of this review, I selected WordPress.
<h3>Server Size</h3>
Step two lets you select the exact size of the server you wish to create.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/2700x0.png" alt="cloudways review" />
Using the slider, you can select the amount of pageviews per month you're expecting to receive. From this, Cloudways recommends a server size for you.
<h3>Location</h3>
Step three allows you to select your server location, which is done via a simple drop-down menu. 
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/3700x0.png" alt="cloudways review" />
Cloudways Click&amp;Go has 8 datacenter locations to select from. These include:
<ul>
<li>USA – Northern Virginia</li>
<li>USA – Northern California</li>
<li>USA – Oregon</li>
<li>EU – Ireland</li>
<li>Asia Pacific – Singapore</li>
<li>Asia Pacific – Sydney</li>
<li>Asia Pacific – Tokyo</li>
<li>South America – Sao Paulo</li>
</ul>
<h3>Bandwidth</h3>
Step four asks you to select your desired bandwidth.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/4700x0.png" alt="cloudways review" /> 
Once again, you can use the slider to set the total GB of bandwidth you want, or simply type in into the field to the right of the slider.
<h3>Storage</h3>
Finally, you can also decide on the storage/disk size of your server.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/5700x0.png" alt="cloudways review" />
This section is split into two; Application Web Files and Database. The slider makes another appearance, allowing you to quickly define the exact storage size of each section.
Below step five is the Pay as you Go counter, which adapts to the changes you make in any of the above steps. More bandwidth for example, pushed the price up. I thought it was a nice touch to display it on the server configuration screen, since it allows customers to make changes immediately – before server set up begins – in order to accommodate their budgets.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/6.png" alt="cloudways review" /> 
However, I would have preferred if the pricing was scrolling with me as I went through the steps, instead of being the last thing you see before launch.
After I configured all of the steps and was happy with the price, I simply hit “Launch”. Cloudways then got to work on creating the server which I had just designed. It told me I needed to wait 7 minutes, which isn't too bad.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/7700x0.png" alt="cloudways review" /> 
In the meantime, I had a handy introduction video to watch, which walked me through some of the core features of Cloudways Click&amp;Go.
<h2>Server Management</h2>
After set up was complete, I was presented with my new server on the same set up page, just as I had designed it.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/8700x0.png" alt="cloudways review" />
I renamed it, checked the various stats and facts, and noticed some handy options including; stop, restart, delete, add app, clone and of course, manage server. Clicking “Manage Server” allowed me to get to some more interesting features.
The Server Management tab gives you a quick summary of your server, similar to the summary shown on the previous set up page.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/8_9700x0.png" alt="cloudways review" />
Scrolling further down revealed the following features and options, neatly laid out in expandable tabs.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/tabs700x0.png" alt="cloudways review" />
<h3>Monitoring</h3>
One of the most impressive features I found within Cloudways Click&amp;Go, was monitoring. Using an extremely simple graph and drop-down menu, you can choose to analyse  over 15 different variables, including; Idle CPU, Reads per Seconds, Incoming Network Traffic, and so forth.
Furthermore, you can choose to view statistics hourly, every 12 hours, daily, weekly and monthly.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/9700x0.png" alt="cloudways review" />
What I liked most about the monitoring feature though, was the short and sweet explanation of each variable. For example, in the image above, you can see a short explanation of what Idle CPU means. This goes for every other variable also, and makes the statistics approachable for less technically orientated users. A small, but very useful feature indeed.
<h3>Vertical Scaling</h3>
If you need to scale your server or disk size up at any time, Cloudways Click&amp;Go lets you do so with ease.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/10700x0.png" alt="cloudways review" />
Found below the monitoring tab, the Vertical Scaling tab allows you to use a slider across three different sections, giving yourself more or less room to expand your server. Naturally, new costs will be incurred for scaling, in line with the Pay as you Go system. Personally, I think this is a brilliant way to manage a server.
<h3>Manage Services</h3>
Other services like MySQL, Apache and so forth can also be managed through the server management section.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/11700x0.png" alt="cloudways review" />
You can stop, restart, purge and disable certain services, as well as review their active or inactive statuses.
<h3>Backups</h3>
One of the most important aspects of any cloud-based hosting solution is the backup system. Cloudways Click&amp;Go enables you to set the server to back itself up every day, two days, and so forth – up to a weekly period.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/12700x0.png" alt="cloudways review" />
You can also click “Take Server backup now” to manually backup the server. It could be argued that some customers may wish for more frequent backup periods, but once per day seems reasonable as a starting point.
<h3>Add-ons</h3>
Although Gmail SMTP is the only add-on available, the tab is present in the server management section. Naturally, this means that Cloudways are working on further add-ons.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/13700x0.png" alt="cloudways review" /> 
It's a shame though, that only one is current available. It makes you wonder whether the add-on section should even be accessible at this point.
<h2>Application Management</h2>
Switching to the “Application Management” tab, you'll find some more technical configurations waiting to be tinkered with (or left well alone). 
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/14700x0.png" alt="cloudways review" /> A summary of your server is given, along with admin area access credentials and MySQL access credentials. You also have the option to launch an SSH terminal, along with secure FTP credentials.
Just like with the Server Management section, you'll find more options further down the page.
<h3>CNAME/Alias Management</h3>
In the CNAM/Alias Management tab, you can add a new alias, which is essentially a domain name.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/15700x0.png" alt="cloudways review" />
Once again Cloudways offers a helping hand, informing you to create a CNAME DNS record on your DNS provider in order for the alias to work correctly.
<h3>Restoring Backups</h3>
Backing up files is important, but not if you can't restore them again. Cloudways enables you to do this from the Application Manager section – although I personally feel it would make more sense to place this feature along with the backup feature, in the Server management section.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/restore700x0.png" alt="cloudways review" />
Nevertheless, the option is indeed there as expected, and allows you to restore the latest backup. This is fine, although the option to see a list of recent backups and select files manually would greatly improve this rather important feature.
On top of these application management features, Cloudways Click&amp;Go also offer SSL Certificate configuration, and are currently working on two further features. These are Application Add-ons and Migrator Tools. Both of these upcoming features – although empty tabs – are present in the admin dashboard. Again, this doesn't do much for the simplicity of Cloudways's interface, providing unnecessary clutter.
<h2>Getting Help</h2>
Cloudways do a really solid job when it comes to help and support.
With 24/7 live chat (with helpful staff on the other end), an FAQ section and a dedicated <a href="https://support.cloudways.com/en/" target="_blank"> knowledge base </a>  with searchable archives, there's little room for anybody to get lost and stay lost whilst using Cloudways.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/help700x0.png" alt="cloudways review" />
Also, dotted around the admin panel are useful help tips, which display when question marks are hovered over. These provide users who aren't technical geniuses find their way around a little easier. It's a nice touch.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/help33700x0.png" alt="cloudways review" />
Ironically though, I actually think Cloudways could do with toning down some of their on-screen support options.
The server management dashboard (and all other pages) display not one, not two, but three support-related tabs.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/help2700x0.png" alt="cloudways review" />
The tab on the right asks visitors and customers for feedback, whilst the tabs on the left and on the bottom of the screen offer the same functionality – live chat.
Both are good to see, but that doesn't mean I want to see them all the time. There's no way to close the tabs, and with two of them offering the same thing, it just seems a bit much.
<h2>Pricing</h2>
With every option set to its lowest possible configuration, Cloudways Click&amp;Go starts from $44.56. For powerhouse users who want to max out every available option, prices soar to $113.92 per month.
However, Cloudways Click&amp;Go is running a 30% off Special Offer, offering the plan which should cost $44.56 at $32.32 instead. It's a pleasant price drop, but I did notice that there was no mention of that within the set up process itself, which left me slightly confused.
<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/pricing700x0.png" alt="cloudways review" />
Competitors such as Siteground for example, charge from $75.58 for cloud hosting, which puts Cloudways' prices into a pleasant perspective.
Perhaps the icing on the cake for Cloudways Click&amp;Go's pricing, is the 30-day money back guarantee on offer. With starting prices already low, it's a pretty sweet deal.
<h2>The Verdict</h2>
Cloudways Click&amp;Go does a great job of blending technicality and approachability together.
The platform has just the right amount of technical detail for users and businesses to modify, scale and configure their servers to suit their projects, without losing touch with its friendly side. This is partly down to the simple user interface, but perhaps more to do with the useful tips and help windows dotted around, along with the 24/7 live chat support found on every page.
Not to mention, applications like WordPress, Drupal, Joomla and Magento are all seamlessly integrated, making Cloudways one of the better connected hosting solutions out there.
There are a few interface elements which I would change, and a few which I'd remove altogether. But looking at Cloudways Click&amp;Go holistically – I only have positive comments to make.
For me, Cloudways Click&amp;Go is a managed cloud hosting solution which offers everything you need, and all the support you could ever use to keep servers not just running smoothly, but running how you want them to.
<h3>Pros</h3>
<ul>
<li>Cloudways Click&amp;Go offers a great range of applications including WordPress, Drupal, Joomla, Moodle, Magento and more.</li>
<li>A simple and user friendly interface</li>
<li>Servers can be built in minutes, renamed, restarted, cloned, deleted and added to, all from the same interface.</li>
<li>Backups are easy to configure and carry out.</li>
<li>Server monitoring is easy, yet very detailed.</li>
<li>You can build your own servers, finely configuring database sizes, bandwidth, and more.</li>
<li>The Pay-as-you-go pricing system works hand in hand with database building, which ensures you pay only for what you need.</li>
</ul>
<h3>Cons</h3>
<ul>
<li>Although the interface is good overall, three support-related tabs on the left, right and bottom of the screen can get annoying.</li>
<li>Only one server add-on available, in the form of Google SMTP.</li>
<li>Minor inteface issues include the presence of features which are not yet ready for use.</li>
</ul>
<h2>Final Remarks</h2>
I've looked into the Cloudways Click&amp;Go interface to determine just how easy it is to run and manage servers. Also, I've read comments dotted around the Internet and Twitter from customers and clients, all of whom seem to be quite happy with the performance of Cloudways.
The only real issues I faced were in the form of some interface elements which could be improved upon. Certainly, the gripes I had with the bloated Cloudways website weren't found in the platform itself. Instead, it was simple, easy on the eyes and above all – fast.
With that being said, I'd have no issues recommending Cloudways Click&amp;Go as a solid cloud hosting solution.
Don't just take my word for it though, start your <a href="http://www.cloudways.com/en/cloud?id=10601" target="_blank"> free 3-day trail with Cloudways Click&amp;Go today </a> .

Cloudways Review

Ingeniux certainly has been racking up a lot of accolades lately. It was named to the EContent 100, a KMWorld Trendsetting Product, a High Performer G2 Crowd, and to the Inc. 5000 as one of the fastest growing companies in the world. One of the reasons for the recent success of Ingeniux is its focus on innovation around core content management features that help brands manage their digital experiences.After looking at the some of the <a href="/ingeniux-web-experience-management-content-management-social-collaboration/">core features of Ingeniux</a>, its standing as a <a href="/a-look-at-the-saas-positioning-of-ingeniux/">SaaS solution</a>, and its positioning as an <a href="/not-all-asp-net-platforms-are-equal/">ASP.NET CMS</a>, it’s time to wrap up this featured week with a focus on the platform’s <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ingeniux.com/">digital asset management</a> capabilities.<h2>The Significance of Digital Asset Management</h2>A CMS acts as the orchestrator for managing and deploying content and digital assets. That includes images, videos, audio files, and more.Without a solid DAM system in place, brands can struggle to upload assets, organise them, find them, and deploy them whenever necessary.Many brands rely on third party Digital Asset Management systems to do the job, but in today’s market, Content Management Systems like Ingeniux are attempting to close the functionality gap.<h2>The Ingeniux Approach to Digital Asset Management</h2>Ingeniux CMS users can upload multiple images, documents, media files, templates, and other assets using the Ingeniux Digital Asset Manager. Its part of the CMS platform and is designed to provide the same level of management and control that web pages and components have in the system.<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/ingeniux_cms_assets693x0-is.png" /> Assets can be edited with full meta data and usage rights, supporting group-level security and collaboration. The Asset Manager also supports true federation; including integration of Microsoft SharePoint lists for document management, media servers and CDN's for rich media storage, and file level storage in NAS and SAN systems.Speaking of meta data, Ingeniux supports <a target="_blank" href="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://www.google.com/url?q%3Dhttp://www.ingeniux.com/company/blog/key-taxonomy-features-for-web-content-management-system%26amp;sa%3DD%26amp;usg%3DAFQjCNELIObDiw36BLEL3I5iQQBpApWQfw&amp;sa=D&amp;ust=1448038424818000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEGuEp8LKlSQklcJSTqaDbWPuQmAQ">taxonomy</a> categorization for assets, automatically extracts “machine meta data” from files, and wraps assets with an XML content type with full meta data support.<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/ingeniux_cms_assets_2654x0-is.png" />The Ingeniux asset manager empowers developers to take control over their code with in-CMS code editing for CSS, ASP.NET, and other languages, code deployment, and code versioning. Ingeniux understand that developers do not want to do all of their development and code management in the CMS, but it’s very handy for quick edits and updates to templates. The CMS also works with Git and other systems.Furthermore, Ingeniux has recently introduced feature to help teams collaborate better when it comes to digital assets. Such new collaboration features include connectors to cloud-based systems and applications for asset storage and import, along with easy staging for reviews and approvals.<h2>“The Same Capabilities as a Standalone DAM Tool”</h2>Dave Hillis, the VP of Business Development over at Ingeniux, has also chimed in on the importance of DAM within Ingeniux:<blockquote>“Assets have never been more important. Ingeniux believes in the shift from web content management to digital experience management. Content is now multi- or omni-channel and needs to be deployed in many locations.The rise of Content Marketing has placed more value on asset management within CMS solutions because assets are often deployed standalone, and more focus is on asset development.Our aim was always to make Assets first class content citizens, meaning that an asset in Ingeniux has the same capabilities as text-based content, including; versioning, workflow, direct publishing, and more.All in all, we wanted to provide a connected DAM solution that provided the same capabilities as a standalone DAM tool, but with better integration and content publishing capabilities.”</blockquote>To find out more about Ingeniux, <a target="_blank" href="https://www.ingeniux.com/">visit their website</a>.Furthermore, you can explore more of <a href="/products/ingeniux">Ingeniux via our CMS Directory.</a>

<a target="_blank" href="http://www.jahia.com/products/digital-factory">Jahia's</a> second international conference kicked off in sunny Paris yesterday, and it wasn't short of appeal.Mike Johnston and I were in attendance, <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/cmscritic">live-tweeting</a> all the best bits as they happened under the <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/JahiaOne?src=hash">#JahiaOne</a> hashtag while soaking up the nerd-friendly atmosphere.Before the conference began, Mike also got to sit down and interview both <a href="/cms-critic-interviews-christopher-justice-of-jahia-ahead-of-jahiaone/">Chris Justice</a> and <a href="/cms-critic-interviews-emmanuel-garcin-of-jahia-ahead-of-jahiaone/">Emmanuel Garcin</a>, discussing Jahia's recent growth, current projects and future aspirations.Here's how the first day of Jahia One went down.<h2>Looking Back on Jahia's Recent Achievements &amp; Preparing For Future Innovations</h2>Just as he did at Jahia One 2014, Elie Auvray, Jahia's CEO and Co-founder, kicked off the proceedings with a welcoming keynote.He spoke of Jahia's growing role in the CMS industry, and expanded on Jahia's focus on building an ethos based upon, “Convergence, Resilience and Commitment”.<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/img_2863205x0-is.jpg" />Elie Auvray went on to single out Ben &amp; Jerrys (a Jahia customer) as one successful Jahia case. He told of the company's need to adapt and provide for its growing mobile audience, particularly in the far east.Based on this example of what used to be nothing more than an Ice Cream company, Elie made the call that technology was no longer classed as its own industrial sector. Rather, he asserted that technology was now an integral part of almost every sector in existence.Gene Phifer from Gartner followed up with a presentation of his own, delving deep into how technology is still surprising us — as well as how it will continue to surprise us.<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/2015-06-11_10_27_44649x0-is-hidpi.jpg" />He spoke of how companies are already using beacons and geofencing to engage and market to customers, the future of 3D printing, smart medical devices, and so forth. More importantly though, he touched on how this technology would impact industries like the healthcare and transportation sectors.The Gartner veteran eventually linked this all back to the growing need for user experience platforms like Jahia to help companies sell experiences, and not just products.<h2>Forms, Cars &amp; Jahia On Your Wrist</h2>Day One of JahiaOne was also host to a presentation of the upcoming Jahia Digital Factory 7.1, given by Senior Vice President Clement Egger.<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/2015-06-11_11_37_14727x0-is-hidpi.jpg" />Scheduled for release before the end of June, Digital Factory 7.1 brings about features like easy module duplication, “work-in-progress” statuses for unpublished (designed to relieve confusion between multiple editors), improved elastic search, better tag implementation and multi-language publishing.This was followed by a demonstration of Jahia Form Factory, by Stephane Monier, Jahia's VP of Business Development EMEA.Jahia customer Europcar was also present, represented by David Roux. He discussed Europcar's online presence before and after Jahia, detailing the key differences and benefits brought forth by the Jahia platform and support team.He highlighted the launch of 15 websites in 15 different countries within just two days as the most impressive example of how Jahia helped evolve Europcar's online presence.Perhaps the most interesting presentation though, came from Jahia CTO Serge Huber.In an impressive display of technical versatility, Jahia has rapidly responded to the release of the Apple Watch by releasing <a target="_blank" href="http://www.jahia.com/apple-watch">a rather tidy integration</a>. Serge Huber demonstrated the Apple Watch Jahia integration live at the event.<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/img_2797545x0-is-hidpi.jpg" />He showed off some handy functionality, including managing and replying to comments, highlighting the convenience of dealing with spam while on the move.Serge Huber stressed that all good Apple Watch apps should refrain from asking you to take out your iPhone in order to make use of the app itself. This was obviously the case with Jahia's integration, which seemed to work extremely well entirely on its own. However, that's not to say that a “Handoff” feature wasn't available for those wanting to continue comment management on their iPhones.<h2>Sailing on The Seine</h2>To cap off the first day of Jahia One, Jahia invited all attendees aboard a boat for a Gala Dinner.The charming vessel cruised through the waters of the Seine river, which flows through the heart of Paris.<img src="https://cmscritic.com/ms-content/uploads/2023/08/2015-06-11_22_20_53727x0-is-hidpi.jpg" />The food was excellent, the atmosphere was friendly, and the views were stunning. Fortunately for everybody on board, night happened to fall just as the boat floated past the Eiffel Tower, giving everyone a beautiful close up view of the tower lighting up as the sun gradually set.Before the boat docked, Mike Johnston presented Elie Auvray with Jahia's recently claimed awards from the 2014 CMS Awards here at CMS Critic.The awards won by Jahia were the <a href="/2014-critics-choice-award-winner-best-java-cms-for-small-to-midsize-business/">Critic's Choice for Best Enterprise JAVA CMS for Small to Midsize Business</a> and the <a href="/2014-critics-choice-award-winner-best-enterprise-java-cms/">Critic's Choice for Best Enterprise JAVA CMS for Enterprise</a>. It was a positive way to end a lovely evening.Stay tuned for our coverage of Day Two on <a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/cmscritic">our Twitter page</a>, as well as right here on the website.<a target="_blank" href="http://www.jahiaone.com/home">Learn more about Jahia One</a>.
