Build it in blocks. Publish it with confidence.
chx4 web gives your team a visual designer, reusable content blocks, menus and working forms, with drafts, approvals and a full version history behind every change. It runs on your own domain, and we look after the certificates.
Every page on this site was built in chx4 web, using the blocks, menus and forms described on it.
Four parts, every site.
Pages, blocks, menus and forms. Learn those four and you can build and run the whole site without asking a developer.
Pages
Lay a page out as rows and columns in the designer. Give it an address, tags, a search description and the picture people see when it is shared.
Blocks
Write a block once and place it on any page: rich text, HTML, galleries, carousels, scrollers and live lists of pages. Each placed block stays on the version you chose until you update it.
Menus
The main navigation, its dropdowns, header links and footer, all edited in one place. Menu items link to a page rather than an address, so they keep working when the address changes.
Forms
Place a form on a page and it works straight away. It can ask follow-up questions depending on the answers, take photos and signatures, and email or forward every submission.
Nothing goes live by accident.
Every change starts as a draft. You can preview it on the real site, send it for approval and publish it when you're ready. If it goes wrong, the previous version is still there.
- Draft and preview. See the draft on the real site, with the real menus and styles, before anyone else can.
- Approvals when you want them. Turn on the workflow and changes wait for someone with publish rights.
- Scheduled. Set when a page goes live and when it comes down, ahead of a launch or the end of an offer.
- Every version kept. Compare any two versions of a page, block or template to see exactly what changed.
Forms that act on the answers.
Build a form from thirteen field types, show a question only when an earlier answer calls for it, and give people a different response depending on what they told you.
- Conditional questions. Follow-up questions appear only when an earlier answer needs them.
- Green, amber and red. Flag answers, and each submission gets the message that fits it.
- Sent where it's needed. Email the submission, post it to a webhook or send it straight into chx4 work, safety or jobs.
- Every submission kept. Read and review submissions in the admin, with captcha holding back the bots.
Your brand, on your own address.
Start from a theme
Install a theme and its pages, blocks, menus and styles are copied into your site. From then on they're yours to change, and nothing updates without you.
Make it look like you
Set your logo, favicon, fonts and colours, then add your own stylesheet. Each page can carry its own CSS too, without affecting the rest of the site.
Use your own domain
Enter your domain and prove it's yours. We set up the bare domain and www, issue the certificates and keep them renewed.
Built to be found, and measured.
Each page has its own search description, robots setting and sharing image. The site produces its own sitemap, has a search page built in, and redirects old addresses to new ones. To add analytics, paste in the ID from the service you already use.
See your own site in the designer.
Give us 30 minutes and we'll build one of your pages with you, live: blocks, a menu and a working form, ready to publish by the end of the call.
