Short Reference
u5CMS Short Reference, English (pdf)Build a web application with u5CMS without programming skills
It is very easy to build a web application yourself with u5CMS. Let users log in, enter data, edit data again and publish data. Your web application interacts with the u5CMS database without you having to worry about it. To get started, run the Tutorial and then the Scenario 2.User Manual
Examples below: Do optimize <label>-usage
In the examples below, the <label> tag is not used in a screen reader–compliant way.
For example
<label>Name*</label><input … name="name_mandatory" … />
instead of
<label>Name*<input … name="name_mandatory" … /></label>
Closing the label-tag after the form field helps blind users by providing better screen reader support.
