Cascade Server CMS is the foundation for hundreds of websites, primarily in Education, Government, Technology and Healthcare.  Hannon Hill does a fantastic job of consistently producing regular upgrades that are requested from their strong, active user community.   Of course, we make these new releases available to our clients.  In fact, our staff is often involved in the testing of new features.

Content management systems are a great way to allow employees access to push pages, content, images, and other important information live to your website through a simple to use control panel. There is no need for programming or development knowledge which expands your employees' capabilities. There are many additional benefits to the Cascade Server CMS such as being an SEO-friendly Content Management System that writes out directories using a static URL structure and text-based linking. Those are a couple of SEO-friendly features the Cascade Server provides over other CMS systems.

This unique CMS was created by Hannon Hill, and we have been able to adopt this system and utilize its full potential in our website development. We are able to customize the Cascade Server Content Management System to integrate into any site and provide customized features that you won't find anywhere else. If you need a team with experience to ensure that the Hannon Hill Cascade Server integrates into your site with no worries and gives you the benefits right away, Beacon Technologies is your company.
