What is the CMS?

The NATS CMS (Content Management System) provides you with a suite of tools to help you organize, publish, and manage your content across public-facing tour pages and private membership areas.

Whether you are an experienced web developer looking to take advantage of an intuitive workflow, or a designer looking to build visually appealing pages, the CMS makes it easy to create and manage a well-designed pay site experience.

With over 20 years of experience in the industry, our CMS was built specifically to cater to the needs of adult content pay sites, with features that simplify video publishing, the building of tour pages, the management of membership, and the organization of large libraries of content.

The CMS publishes Sets through Channels, which you assign to Tours and Member Areas. Channels, together with Content Rules, determine who sees what: Tours deliver the content designated in Channels for previews and thumbnails, while Member Areas show full content from the Channels a member is authorized to access.

🏗️ Block-Based Page Builder

Use the Block Builder to design flexible, professional pages without the need for any code. With a simple drag and drop, all the blocks included with the CMS can be used to make building a site easy and intuitive. Save your favorite custom blocks and reuse them across your Theme. Some Blocks source content from the Theme's default Channel, and can be overridden per block, including a list of multiple Channels.

Using the Page Builder

📽️ Set Management

All content is organized and managed by Sets, containing videos, photos, descriptions, and more. Sets can be uploaded through the browser or FTPed, edited, tagged, published, and even scheduled for release. Adding metadata to sets creates a way for admins to manage content and visitors to find what they're looking for, while SFW Set Previews allows you to adhere to laws in required states. All sets are published to one or more Channels, and can be scheduled or republished on different Channels as needed.

Managing Sets

📦 Channels

Channels are the primary organization and delivery method for Sets. All sets are published to Channels, and you can assign Channels as defaults to specific Tours and Member Areas. Creating a Member Area creates an associated Default Channel.

🧑 Member Areas & User Access

Visitors browse through the tours you create for a taste of your Member's Area. Once satisfied, they can sign up through NATS. After signing up, members gain access to the Member Areas they have access to, where you can determine which sets show up for download or viewing, what pages are visible, and how additional content is unlocked.

🎨 Themes & Customization

Themes allow you to control the look and layout of your site. Design and build pages, menus for navigation, and content moderation settings to emphasize your specific brand. With the ability to easily copy, modify, preview, and switch themes, the CMS provides ample room for experimentation and promotional flair.
