  10. Page BuilderTemplates • Drag-n-drop functionality for site admins • Add/remove widgets • RSS • http://feeds.feedburner.com/insidenau • Default functionality lets authors create each new page as a one-off, breaking templating principles (that is a bad thing) • We plan to use as a template manager, not a page builder for NAU sites • http://cmsdemo.nau.edu/EktronTech/EktronPro/

  11. Targeted Content • Display variable content based on a number of preset conditions • Search engine • Referring URL • Date/Time • URL Parameter • Analytics friendly URL from a campaign • ?utm_source=newsletter
