Welcome to Seed

This is the demo site for Seed, a Content Management System developed by the Media Collective. Our aim is for seed to be simple and easy to use whilst being flexible enough to suit differing needs.

We’re constantly working on Seed to make it more useful so the features you see here are likely to grow. Here’s a brief overview:

  • Site wide embedded content creation and editing
  • Fully configurable using custom templates
  • Caching Mechanism for faster page loading

    • Menu Hierarchy Ordering
    • Pagination Control
    • Drag and drop Article Ordering
    • Integrated image upload
    • Video Embedding

    • Comments with spam protection
    • Ability to pull feeds from other pages on the site
  • Users Module with
    • Roles management
    • Account activation via email

If you’re wondering why the site looks so plain, that’s because we’ve only applied minimal styling to the demo version. With some clever styling Seed can be fully customised to suit any look.

To try out Seed’s functionality for yourself log in and have a play using Login ‘admin’ and Password ‘administrator’.

The site will be re-set back to it’s default state every hour so any changes you make won’t be around for long.
