About Waypoint
Waypoint is an ASP.net-based content management system offered by Twin Harbor Web Solutions to UPAY and will include:
Picture Galleries
Display event photos with the easy to use picture gallery feature. Just create a new gallery and upload pictures and you’re done. Thumbnails and display pages arc set up automatically. Additionally, latest pictures can be configured to rotate on the home page.
News Feed
A news feed will be set up to allow for fast, easy posting of news and other information. The home page will display the most recent posts, and a news archive page will display all previous posts. When a new post is added, these pages update automatically. When adding a post, users will add a title and body of the post, and specify any categories.
Rich Text Editor
Edit all your website content using a simple, yet powerful Rich Text Editor. You’ll find editing your website content is very similar to working with most common word processing programs such as Microsoft Word.
Formatted Content
Editing specially formatted content, such as carousels, will not work in a rich text editor because these elements require specialty html and css code to function. To solve this problem, Waypoint includes a formatted content system. Content types can be generated when the site design is built, allowing for adding, editing, and reordering elements.

Contact Form
Waypoint includes an email contact form to allow website visitors to quickly send an email to the website owner. This can be included on the Contacts page.
File Library
The File Library tool will allow staff to add new documents to the site for visitors to download. This makes it quick and easy to update the site with the latest information.
Waypoint is a Platform
Waypoint is more than just a content management system; it is easily extensible by using our simple plugin methodology, which means your Waypoint site can grow over time. Plugins allow for custom.
