In the Content Management System, the administator updates the content via a user-friendly interface.
The administrator can create and delete pages, and can also re-order the navigation links with a simple drag & drop operation.

The CMS relies on a defensive AJAX strategy: if a network issue or server problem is detected, the user is informed straight away.
