The Hidden Colour blog-o-matic

Happy New 2012 everyone!  A new year, and a new release of our Content Management System.  I can feel the excitement in the air...

This one is called Harold and is version 4.2.   New features include:

• WYSIWYG editor for the mobile-friendly interface
• Drag & drop functionality for page items on the test site
• Recycle bin - retrieve deleted pages and items

If you want to find out more about the new features, we've listed them here.

The new version will be rolled out to all of our customers soon.  If you want a demo of Hidden CMS, just get in touch.

We recently created an on-line application form for one of our clients, which allows people to submit an application for a grant using their website.

Once an application has been submitted, the site administrators can log in to Hidden CMS and view each one:

We also added the ability to export all of the application details to Excel, so that committee members can see an overview at meetings.

If you'd like something like this creating for you, please get in touch.

We've been busy over the last few months, but we found some spare time down the back of the sofa, and used it to put together a new website, a new release and new documentation for Hidden CMS (our Content Management System) .

New release

Version 4.1 (codename George) has now seen the light of day.  There's a bunch of new features and improvements, and if you want to know more then you can head over to the Hidden CMS changelog.

New documentation

Version 4 of Hidden CMS now has full documentation, so you can get to grips with using it on your own website.  We've tried to include as much detail as possible, whilst keeping it easy to read.  It's in the first revision, so we'll probably make a some tweaks to it over the next few weeks.

New website

We thought it was about time Hidden CMS had a new website (and mobile version!) to go with Version 4, so we've made a simpler, tidier and prettier website for it.  You can see the new website at www.hiddencms.co.uk.

It's our birthday!  

How did those two years pass so quickly?  

Since we started back in 2009 we've built a Content Management System, lots of custom-coded web apps for our clients (who keep coming back - thank you, all of you!) and numerous websites and designs.  We've learnt a lot and had a lot of fun along the way.

Future works

Hidden Colour is moving to Manchester in the next few weeks, and the rest of 2011 is as busy as ever, with some large projects in the planning stages for 2012.

Thanks to everyone who supported us over the last two years.  

Jelly and ice cream time.
