Avallo to redesign website for Caring Tree

Avallo is proud to announce we will be redesigning the website of The Caring Tree, a non-profit organization that works towards furthering the education of Minnesota students by providing them the materials and school supplies needed for a successful school year.

We are excited to provide such a great cause with a website built in Avallo Panel. Our content management system will allow them to make changes and announce events quickly and efficiently, saving them time and money - valuable resources to any non-profit.

We are honored that The Caring Tree chose Avallo to design and build their new website, and we will work closely with them so their new site will promote their organization and get their message across.

Announcing Avallo's Soft Launch of Avallo Panel

Avallo Panel is a powerful Content Management System (CMS) developed by Avallo, Inc. We designed and created Avallo Panel as a way to allow our clients to easily and efficiently manage, update, and change content on their websites.

Avallo Panel is different from other Content Management Systems available. First, Avallo Panel puts full control of your website in your hands. It incorporates a What You See Is What You Mean editor that allows even users with no computer experience to write clean markup. Additionally, for more advanced users, Avallo Panel will allow you to view and edit the HTML, CSS, and Javascript that is controlling your site. By combining the ease of use of text editors with the ability to edit the code, Avallo Panel becomes a powerful tool for corporations and small business that want full control of their website.

Secondly, Avallo Panel was built just for you. Every website is different, and every client has different needs. We will sit down with you and figure out exactly how your company will get the best use out of our system. Because we developed Avallo Panel, we can make it work exactly how your business wants it to.

Listed below are some examples of the unique features that makes Avallo Panel stand out from other Content Management Systems:

• Multiple Access Levels for different users: prohibit and allow different sections to be edited by different employees.
• Calendar: Easily add events (including recurring events) with our interactive calendar.
• Multiple Content Layouts: choose from pre-designed layouts, or create your own layout to determine how copy and images will display in your website.
• Image Uploader: crop, re-size, and rename images straight from your digital camera onto your website. No image editing software required!
• Adding New Pages: New pages will automatically appear in your navigation, making web updates a breeze!

Avallo Panel is not a template. We can either convert your existing website to work in Avallo Panel, or we can design a brand new website for you. In either case, Avallo Panel is completely customized for your unique site. You won't find anybody else with the same design as yours, which is common with online site builders.
