Why upgrade to Tada?
Five reasons why it's a great time to upgrade your old CMS Made Simple or Wordpress site to the Tada Web Editor platform.
1) Hosting updates can break old code.
Totera clients still using CMS Made Simple or Wordpress for their website and/or blog platform will be moved to different servers by NameGig. Depending on the version of CMS Made Simple, this could cause sites to stop functioning. It might be a good time to start thinking of migrating to Tada - our simplified web editor platform.

Hosting companies like GoDaddy and NameGig periodically update their server software in order to keep up with the latest security and performance standards. These upgrades can alter the server operating system resulting in scripts using languages such as PHP and MySQL to stop functioning.

2) Hosted solutions are easier to maintain.
In addition to the all-under-one-roof advantage to using the Tada platform, all Tada sites are running on of the same software at the same time. Rather than installing a version on one server, and a different version on a different software a year later, then having to upgrade to fix security and performance issues as browsers change... A cloud-based solution allows us to roll out upgrades to all of our sites at once. Ensuring that our customers are utilizing the latest tools and techniques for optimal performance across all devices.
Cloud-based or "hosted" solutions like Tada, Box.com, Squarespace and others are different than traditional content management systems. However, most lack the customization, one-on-one training and support that Totera customers expect.
We have developed a cloud-based website management platform called Tada that is easy to use and includes hosting, SSL, CMS and many other features all in one.
Why a hosted solution? Since all of our sites are using the same software we are able to roll out security and performance upgrades to all of our customers at once, our clients never have worry about upgrading their website editor again. No unexpected server upgrades, no more SSL purchases, and no more plugin version tracking.
All of our Tada sites run on the latest software, always.
3) Tada makes website management fun!
It's simple to use. No more changing text and images and then having to publish your changes to see how they look. With Tada, you can make edits for desktop, tablet and mobile devices in real time, and then only publish when you are ready. The drag-and-drop editor allows you to select text blocks, images, tables, social media feeds, buttons and even forms and place them anywhere on the page. Plus time-saving features like one-click uploads, and file-manages will leave your old CMS in the dust.
Our customers enjoy the ease and speed of the Tada platform.
We've already converted dozens of sites from CMS Made Simple to Tada (including our own), and our customers love the simplicity of the editor, and how easy it is to manage the website all on one platform.
"Our previous platform had been tough to navigate, while Totera Inc.'s website builder is very easy to use. It's allowed us to be more efficient — updates that used to take an hour now take us only 15 minutes to implement. Additionally, more of our staff has been able to update the website than before."
4) All the tools you need, all in one place.
Shared hosting accounts that required you to purchase a separate SSL certificate (required by Google since 2017), manually optimize each page template for mobile, purchase a hosting account, analytics, and database, and then track the version of each system and upgrade regularity to prevent security issues.
