Inside Echo CMS

Section by section

Every section of the CMS and what it does — and this page itself is built from the same datablocks you would use for any other page.

Pages & Visual Editor

Pages are stacks of datablocks: pick a page template, add blocks and drag them into order. Every page keeps a draft and a published version, so edits stay private until you publish.

The visual editor opens the live page with every block editable in place — what you change is exactly what visitors will see.

Form Builder

Forms are assembled from thirteen field types: text, text area, email, number, select, multi-select, checkboxes, radios, date, time, file upload, address and static content.

Each field sets its own width (full, half, third, quarter), placeholder, help tooltip, validation and show/hide logic — and fields can be grouped into titled steps for multi-step forms. Every form defines its own submit label, success message and emails.

Form Submissions

Every submission is stored with the exact values entered, listed and filterable per form. Notification emails go to the recipients each form defines, and submitters can receive a confirmation email.

Any submission downloads as a branded PDF, filtered lists export to CSV, and uploaded files are kept behind the CMS login rather than on public URLs.

Form Submissions

Global Blocks

A global block is a datablock maintained in one place and used on any number of pages — offices, opening hours, calls to action.

Edit the global version once and every page that uses it updates together. Any block template can be used globally.

Enquiry Management

An optional workflow layered on top of submissions. A form can define stages — New through to Closed, with any stages in between — plus internal-only fields and notes that never appear on the website.

Each stage can carry a templated email with merge tags filled from the submission, sent automatically when an enquiry enters the stage or offered to the user to send.

Enquiry Management

Media Library

Upload an image once and the CMS automatically cuts every crop and size the design needs, served as webp.

Images are organised by category, chosen per field with the correct proportions enforced, and can be recropped around a focal point at any time without re-uploading.

Media Library

News

News articles have their own templates and datablocks, an automatic listing page and per-article SEO settings.

Articles are draft-first with publish scheduling, so a story can be written today and go live by itself on the right date.

News

Events

Events work like news but are date-aware: each event carries one or more dates, and listings split upcoming from past automatically.

Event pages use their own template with the details block pulling the dates through consistently.
