Each site begins with a bespoke set of beautifully designed modules, created for you by the design studio Linked by Air. These modules have programmatic and interactive intelligence as well as good looks. Your authors combine them in any order to create millions of possible pages. This visual grammar becomes a functional language your website can use for years.

Pages automatically optimize themselves for display on smartphones and tablets, and just as important, for use on the go. On desktop, images and layouts stretch to immerse users with the largest displays, while preserving great typography. Economy also drives digital signage and email campaigns, using the same flexible authoring system, design grammar, and content database you already use for the website.

Economy is powerful, but its interface is beautifully simple and foolproof. With just a couple satisfying gestures you know almost everything you need to create and improve pages. Many users describe a feeling of “flow,” and Economy might be the only content management system that is often called “fun to use.”

history


Economy encourages experimentation and continuous iteration. When content or a site area no longer meets your requirements, improve it. A complete visual history is kept of every page, including an automatic screenshot of each version. All edits are attributed to the user who made them, and a page can be rolled back to any previous version. Drafts can be created which are only visible to staff – not yet to the public.

You can craft pages one by one using your flexible kit of magic modules, but sometimes you need a more structured approach to your data. Economy features beautiful indexes and forms that give you access at a glance to all your calendar events, exhibitions, books, products, artworks, artists, users… or anything else in your organization.

Your site can run itself. Pages update automatically to feature the latest Twitter posts, today’s events, upcoming exhibitions, or content relevant to the logged-in user. Use the time you gained to dream up new projects. Or get some fresh air.

search


Your site isn’t an undifferentiated mass of information. A calendar event is different from a book; an artwork page is different from a “visit us” page. Economy’s powerful and beautiful search results present each kind of match in a visual format appropriate to that content and visually prioritize the kinds of content that are most important to your site. Search becomes a first-class way to use your site.

Economy features a drag-and-drop upload interface and automatically sizes and prepares your images for the web. Images are optimized for Retina and non-Retina devices, and are dynamically prepared for all the different contexts you use them in your site, not just one or two sizes. You can easily re-use any image you’ve uploaded in the past. Economy can even generate thumbnails for your PDF and Word documents.

Economy features secure login for staff, and optionally for end users. Some areas of the site can be password-protected for select user groups, and staff can optionally be granted varying privileges to work on particular areas of the site, or to save only drafts pending review by a content manager. In most Economy sites, every page is protected by SSL encryption.
