Browser-based editing
   Authorized users can manage your home page, publish information, edit content, post images and more with any browser from any location.
One-click editing
   With Manila, there's no need to waste time navigating cumbersome file systems or tedious FTP programs. Simply go to the page you want edit, hit "Edit this Page", and make changes.
One-click publishing
   Create new pages, populate them with content, put in them the correct category, and publish them directly to the web‹all without involving IT staff.
XML member profiler
   Gather the user information you need automatically with XML-specified templates. Because the member profiler is customizable, you can build a database of information about the partners, employees, and customers who use your site.
User hierarchies
   Manage your site content like news services manage theirs by creating custom user hierarchies with managers, contributors, and members. Each group will be able to make only the changes you authorize, enabling ordered, efficient communication.
Design control
   Choose and change the look, font, colors, and more for any of your Manila weblogs in minutes all without affecting the underlying content.
Full content management
   With templates, macros, and organizational capabilities, Manila lets you create sophisticated sites for a fraction of the price of many content management systems. Manila can also integrate information from diverse sources through COM, ODBC, Apple Events, HTTP, XML-RPC, and SOAP.
Intuitive navigation
   Information is easy for users to find, because you can create distinctive URLs for each of your weblogs and Manila sites.
Powerful customization
   With Manila, the possibilities are almost endless. You can maximize the impact and effectiveness of your Manila sites using CSS, JavaScript, and custom templates and navigation.
ISP-ready
   Manila sites are safe, and can be extended thru macros and templates, allowing service providers to differentiate their offerings.
XML-powered Web Services
   Manila automatically turns your content into an XML feed that you can syndicate to internal and external stakeholders, streamlining the flow of important information.
