YellowTail is a website Content Management System (CMS) designed to make your life easier. It gives you complete control of your website. With YellowTail there’s no need to depend on an IT department or external agency for ongoing site management. You can pick and choose from a library of pre-built functionality and make changes as and when you need to.
At the heart of YellowTail is a simple and robust management system that empowers marketing teams to:
- Ensure content is completely up-to-date – user-friendly tools allow you to manage all text, headings, imagery, documents and other digital assets
- Add and remove sections and pages – change the structure and size of your site
- Decide who can access what – manage settings to choose who has permission to view or edit content
This flexibility means YellowTail can handle all manner of web projects, including small marketing sites, large-scale corporate sites, community portals, corporate intranets and extranets. Multiple projects can be managed simply from a single administration platform.
YellowTail gives most commercial website CMS tools a run for their money. What’s more, developers and IT departments love it because it’s so easy to customise and extend. You can see examples of YellowTail sites in the case studies section.

YellowTail comes with a suite of existing off-the-shelf modules catering for all common website management tasks. Creating and styling copy; inserting images, documents and all sorts of associated media files; creating, adding, moving and deleting pages - it’s all there. And if we haven’t got the module for the job, there’s probably one out there we can utilise – why reinvent the wheel?
There are occasions when you may want something tailored to your exact needs. That’s ok. We can customise existing modules or write new ones from scratch.

It’s just as easy for your ISP or IT department to host YellowTail as it is for ours. It’s simple and easy to do and makes no difference to us (find out about what it runs on). When we host your YellowTail site we manage everything for you. All the behind-the-scenes stuff that IT people worry about - we have it covered: backups; redundancy; disk failures; patches and updates to the web server; bandwidth monitoring; firewalls and security.
We host in a professional data centre with a leading internet service provider. We manage lots of sites for our clients. Each site is a completely separate instance of the software, sharing only the hardware and database infrastructures (which gives you vital cost savings). Where a YellowTail site has mission-critical business processes or has extraordinary security requirements, we deploy a dedicated server to cater for this.

Every YellowTail website is implemented by our dedicated team, so aside from the production we'll take care of all the additonal services that make a website great. Everything from planning, information architecture and design, to validating the code and proof-reading the content. That's a significant factor to remember when reviewing what CMS is right for you.
If you're taking the first step to a content managed website or moving from an existing CMS we will ensure the transition is as seamless and smooth as possible for you so you can get on with day-to-day operations with the minimum of disruption. Find out about our process of implementation.
