GetSimple is a light and easy to understand content management system (CMS) which makes editing your website incredibly easy. While it is not as powerful as some of the larger website CMS applications, it is incredibly lightweight – meaning that it will run faster than any of its counterparts.

Logging in

Your website is divided in to two sections:

• The first section is the main part of your website, that all of your potential customers will see, it will contain all of your branding, images and information. This is usually referred to as the front end.
• The second section is called the back end or the admin panel, this is a hidden area to which only those who are given the password can access. This section allows for you to control what appears on the front end of the website.

To access the back end of your website, please refer to the login details that have been provided to you at the website’s launch. If you do not have access to these details, please contact us.
