        Overview.

        Vennture CMS is a Content Management System built by Venn and designed to help you manage your site with no coding required. 

        When designing your site, our designers build a catalogue of content modules to make up the pages. These modules are the building blocks of your sites and can be added, removed or reordered on existing or new pages to suit your requirements.

        Editing content within the CMS does not immediately update your site. To make these changes 'Live' you will need to publish that particular page or the whole site to the 'Live' environment. The CMS has an inbuilt page viewer which easily allows you to edit modules and preview changes.

        The editing preview is a good estimation of what your content will look like on the live site in a real browser. To test what your page looks like before publishing live, you can also publish a page or the whole site to the 'Staging' environment to test and make sure you're happy. The staging environment is a carbon copy of your live site, allowing you to interact, test and view changes without them being visible to the public. 


        Logging In.

        There are two options when logging into your CMS:

        1. You can log in to your CMS via Vennture Dashboard.
        Navigate to the Apps section and click 'Launch App' under the CMS tile. As a first-time user, you will need to enter your credentials to log into the CMS as an individual application. You will only be asked to do this once; from then on Vennture will remember your details. 

        2.  Additionally, you can log in via the CMS log-in link: Login
        Enter your credentials, and you are all set to use the CMS.

        Forgotten Password.  

        To reset your password click the 'Forgot password?' link, which will take you to the reset your password page: Forgot Password

        Enter your username and email and click the reset password button.
        You will then receive an email with a randomly generated password which you can use to log in. 

         

        Changing your password.

        Whether you're tired of your old password or you need to change your randomly assigned 'Reset' one, it is very easy to change your password.

        Once you are inside the CMS, simply click on your profile picture in the sidebar menu; this will bring up your profile settings. 















        Inside 'Manage Account' scroll down to the end; this is where you can change your password to whatever suits you most.
