Similar to HTML websites, websites created with FlashMoto CMS are indexable by search engines & every page has their own URLs + titles.

It also allows you to define the Google Analytics details & statistics of the website will be tracked (every page will tracked even it is a Flash website).





Like mentioned in the beginning, FlashMoto CMS is like a standard CMS, it controls websites that are prepared to fit the XML-based templating system it offers.
