news page


Inform your visitors regularly about news on your website. The News module facilitates this and presents the information in a uniform and chronologically ordered form. The regular changes on your website will also be appreciated by search engines and you will get a better ranking.

The news page module consists of a news list, which is sorted by the entry date of the news, as well as a detailed news entry for each. If there are more news items than specified entries per page, the older news items are automatically moved to the 2nd, 3rd, ... page. This means that visitors can also read older news in the archive at any time. The layout, the number of news items per page and the image sizes etc. can be freely changed. The image sizes are calculated automatically. The time-consuming cropping of the images can thus be omitted.
