Varbase Features Explained

• Search Engine Optimized
  
  Search engine optimization is a set of rules and practices which help business owners improve their online reputation. Drupal has numerous modules for SEO but most of them are not part of the core. 

  But in Varbase all of Drupal's needed on-page SEO modules are preconfigured for best results. The list Includes Metatag, Simple XML Sitemap, Redirect, Real-time SEO for Drupal (Yoast), Google Analytics, RDF, and an enhanced markup!

• Responsive Previews & Mobile Ready

  One of the popular front-end framework - Bootstrap - is part of the Varbase. Its subtheme provides responsive pages and tools. Also part of it is several pre-configured modules for you such as Responsive Theme Preview.

  Add to that, Varbase comes with preconfigured responsive image styles for all media/images you'll use.

• Landing Page Creator (Paragraphs)

  Create landing pages easily with Paragraphs. With paragraphs, you can add text with a WYSIWYG-editor, pictures, complex layouts to your pages – and change the order. The preview mode, gets a good idea of how your page will look like in the end.
   

  

   

• Flexible Administration Dashboard

  A dashboard is what's missing for better Drupal administration experience.

  Varbase comes with Varbase Total Control Dashboard dashboard that is built on top of total control admin dashboard module, utilizing Panels, Google Analytics reports, and several enhanced blocks and widgets for an intuitive and flexible administration experience.

• Editing

  Drupal 8's inline editing capabilities with an enhanced theme makes it easy for the editors to edit articles right from within the page. The Edit Mode lets you change the headers, body, content, and replace images too. 

  Another editing feature is content and metadata versioning. Editors can access a complete revision history for all edits performed on the webpage. Varbase also offers a visual and side-by-side comparison of content edits to highlight changes in an easy and effective way. 

  The content lock module is also part of the editor which helps prevent concurrent editing.
