Page Builder Templates• Drag-n-drop functionality for site admins• Add/remove widgets
– RSS– http://feeds.feedburner.com/insidenau
• Default functionality lets authors create each new page as a one-off, breaking templating principles (that is a bad thing)
• We plan to use as a template manager, not a page builder for NAU sites• http://cmsdemo.nau.edu/EktronTech/EktronPro/
