Every page on every website contains a lot of information that is not seen by website visitors, but that is there to let search engines help users find your site or is used by statistics and other services. This information is stored in what are called meta tags in a part of the page's content that is called the Head.

With ProductiveCMS, you have always been able to edit the most important of these meta tags right from your Admin interface. The Site Options and Page Options panel let you enter Site and Page Titles, and enter Descriptions and Keywords that are vital for Search Engine Optimization.

Today, we are happy to announce that we have released a new feature, which gives you total control over this important part of your site. With the Header HTML snippet, you can now insert any meta tags into the Head of your site.

You can easily and quickly confirm site-ownership for valuable SEO services like Google Webmaster tools, Bing or Yahoo. It also lets you add the necessary codes to enable Facebook Insights statistics for your website or adjust the appearance of your site on mobile devices.

There are many other useful meta tags that you can add to your site.

Announcing the arrival of a brand new design: meet Mira.

Following on the heels of our last design, Atlas, we are excited to have yet another new design in our library.

The new design comes in 8 unique color themes and features a horizontal main navigation with submenus using the trendy Museo font. The page image and page title elements also feature a transparent background to help the each page appear more dynamic and provide a distinctivly modern look for your site.

Collapsible panels can be enabled at the top of the site and combined with the large footer, this enables you plenty of room for additional navigation and/or content.

Productive CMS makes it even easier to sell products online.

For most business owners, selling is hard enough without having the technicalities of e-commerce websites getting in the way. We are very excited to announce improvements to Productive CMS that will make it possible to start selling through your website, all with the click of a button.

The PayPal Buttons application, which we released today, makes it as simple as point and click to add a "Buy Now" button to any page on your site.

Before, adding such a button meant you had to copy and paste HTML code from the PayPal website into an HTML snippet, which was complicated and confusing. Now, with our new application, this can be done with nothing more than click and drag.

To get started, go to Control Panel > Applications and add the PayPal Buttons application to your account. Once you've done this, the application will appear in the Add Content menu.

You can then add the button to your page in the same familiar way all Productive CMS content blocks are added: select the PayPal Button application from the Add Content menu and click on the green area to locate where you want the button to appear.

An application configuration panel will open that already has your email address pre-filled (you can change this if you use a different email address for PayPal), and has fields for Product Name, Price and Currency.

Once you've set these, you're done and you have a fully working Buy Now button that is linked to your PayPal account.

For now, the PayPal Button application just lets you add Buy Now buttons to your site. Soon, we will add more PayPal buttons for you to chose from.
