An Overview of the CMS
The new solution for the web provides the usual content to search bots while making it easy for webmasters to add new pages, menus, videos, pictures, search engine optimization and text. In the past, Flash websites have been hampered by search directors as a result of their inability to read the content.
No Technical Knowledge Required
PizzazzWeb CMS is revolutionary because the content provider does not need to be familiar with Flash, CSS or HTML to successfully create and publish information. Any reliable web host can handle this kind a website. Therefore, the provider can focus solely on SEO strategy and optimizing the content for search engine web bots to index the information and determine relevance.

Developing in Flash
Once a website is developed in Flash, the content management system handles all other aspects. However, for organizations to take advantage of the system, the site must be developed utilizing Flash components created by PizzazzWeb. This indicates that users cannot create their own content and install the system. The user must update content from media to text and then the content management system forms the changes and makes them readable to the crawling bot.
Using the Wizard
Luckily, there is a wizard that walks users through all aspects of the system. Also, all updates can be completed using the wizard. Other topics covered by the help is a walkthrough of the entire updating process, creating and deleting pages, changing a line of text and much more. Also, all functions can be accomplished utilizing menus and property panels.
