The Trial Site that you are given is much more than just a webpage ready to be edited. We figure that you have already experienced what Content Management feels like as a user. The Trial gives you some immediate experience of manipulating Components, and working with Layout Elements; seeing how a neatComponents site is constructed and generally getting into the nC mindset. 

It's all straightforward, step-by-step stuff, and it will give you an excellent introduction to Working with neatComponents. 

Here you will find out how to ...

• Create your first trial site
   
• Login to your site to edit it,
   
• Change the appearance of the site,
   
• Add, and move pages around the site,
   
• Modify the content on the pages,
   
• Get started with data handling - forms, queries, and emails.
