Summary


We learned a lot in this chapter about how different modules in CMS Made Simple extend the features of your website.

In this chapter, we covered:

  • Gallery: How to create a photo gallery and create a custom template for the gallery from scratch.

  • Form Builder: How to create and customize forms like contact or feedback forms on the page, without any deep programming knowledge.

  • Newsletter: How to import e-mail addresses to the user list of the module Newsletter Made Simple and send out messages to existing e-mail lists.
