You can provide an online version of offline marketing materials such as:

 Company Brochure

What can a Kontrolit Ebook do?

• Unlimited books hosted on your site (no need to use a third party system)
• Unlimited pages in each book

New component – Scrolling Text

Create components that scroll text. The following options are available:

• Behaviour - Scroll text or alternate text
• Direction – Left, Right, Up and Down
• Height – adjust height of scrolling area

New feature – Import/Export all site content

We can now export most site content into a series of CSV files. This content can then be imported into new versions of Kontrolit via a special import wizard. Where sites have not had bespoke code added upgrades to new versions of Kontrolit can now be much quicker and thus much cheaper.

New Feature Accordion Menu

A new component type is available called an Accordion Menu. The advantage of the accordion menu is that the user can navigate multiple nodes of the menu system browsing for content without navigating away from the page.
The menu structure is built in the same way using the menus and menu items admin pages. Thus existing menus can be converted to accordion menus relatively easily.

The gallery slideshow now has 27 different transition effects to choose from.

In addition you can modify the transition speed and frame time giving you full aesthetic control over this visually powerful feature.
