Images are often the achilles heel of Content Management System - not with SwissCMS.  When adding or editing a page, you can choose to have the main page image (the large lozenge on the right) set up as the regular rotating image or a static image - handy for news stories.

Random Rotator or Static Snaps?

The main image on each page is set to be random by default - you can test this by visiting the same page twice - 'Contact' or 'Glossary' for example.  However, you can also choose to select a static image for any page, including the front page (which is set in the global configuration settings).  This page - 'Image Functions' - for example, always has the picture with the black knife and the red cross - as does the home page. This adds real focus and relevance to news stories or projects and a touch of class, continuity or abstract reference to other content.

Upload your own

Along with changing the 'header' image, you can embed, copy and paste images directly into the edit area:

This is an embedded image - which was uploaded and selected using the built-in browser.

Copy and paste from other web pages

This is an image which was simply copied and pasted (ctrl+c, ctrl+v) from the Google home page:

Nitty Gritty

The last way is to simply add the image via editing html source code.  Once the editor has picked up the entered URL, you can edit the dimensions and positioning etc., all from within the editor.
