Your Modern Control Center

1. Sign in securely

Open /backend in your browser and enter the administrator credentials you received from your developer. If you forget your password, use the “Forgot Password” link—CI4MS will email you a secure reset link.

2. Personalize your profile

Click your avatar in the top-right corner to update your display name, profile picture, and password. Keeping this information current helps your team identify who changed what.

3. Review dashboard insights

The dashboard highlights page and blog counts, latest activity, and quick links. Use it to understand site health at a glance.

4. Pin critical modules

Use the sidebar to favorite modules you rely on most—Pages, Blog, Menu, Media, Settings—so they always stay within one click.

Publish a page

1. Navigate to Pages and choose “Create”.
2. Write your content with the rich text editor or paste HTML snippets.
3. Add SEO metadata (title, description, keywords) and optional cover imagery.
4. Toggle visibility to “Published” and click Save.

Tips: Use keywords to improve discoverability, and attach the page to menus if it should appear in navigation.

Share news and updates

1. Select Blog ▸ Create.
2. Add your article content, hero image, optional gallery, and author.
3. Assign categories and tags to keep things organized.

1. Head to Menu to view the drag-and-drop tree.
2. Use Add to insert pages, blogs, or external links.

Nested items automatically render as dropdowns on the front-end.
