The Flash CMS never got very popular due to its lack in the functionalities that were provided. The FlashMoto CMS is a totally different one which is quite impressive and works very well in managing the Flash-based websites.

With the help of a well designed and easy-to-use interface, a website is controlled similar to a standard CMS but with the extras that the Flash offers. Using the FlashMoto CMS, it is possible to add unlimited number of pages, update or delete them, manage your website menu along with the sub-menus, create image galleries and add or remove images to them, create forms, upload videos and music, insert shapes or other Flash files.

The content is created using a WYSIWYG editor. There is a media library where you can upload the images, videos or SWF files and use them in any part of the website with a few clicks. It also has a built-in gallery component for displaying a list of images and videos. This feature is specially useful for the designers, photographers or anyone who is willing to present a portfolio.

You can also add a stand-alone background music or embed videos from the popular services like Youtube, Vimeo which will be attractive as well. Similar to the HTML websites, the websites that are created with the FlashMoto CMS are indexable by the search engines and every page has their own URLs and titles.

It allows you to define the Google Analytics details. The statistics of the website will be tracked, that is every page will be tracked even if it is a Flash website. Just as mentioned in the beginning, the FlashMoto CMS is similar to a standard CMS. That is, it controls the websites that are prepared to fit the XML-based templating system that it offers.

Any Flash developer can build the new templates and for this a detailed documentation is provided or there are FlashMoto CMS templates that are offered which are ready to go. Besides all these features, there are much more like various other built-in components like the scroll bar, progress bar or paginator, the ability to upload the custom fonts, infoModule to display the news etc.

Concluding, the Flash CMS is a very flexible and powerful product which is handy for any designer who creates websites in the Flash and wants to provide a back end to the customers. It is also useful for anyone who are willing to create a website easily and quickly by using the ready-to-go templates.
