A Simple Backend

Description

A Simple Backend can bring order to a chaotic WordPress admin by putting a minimalist interface in place whilst always keeping the full power of WordPress within easy reach.

A Simple Backend will make several enhancements to the WordPress CMS such as a minimalist interface throughout, subtle responsive design changes for improved mobile use and much more. This isn’t your ordinary admin cleanup plugin. A Simple Backend was built with the deliverables of designers in mind but from the usage perspective of the client.

It is this simple. Build your website, install the plugin and then build A Simple Backend by activating and editing the simple menu. Now your user has an easy to use administration section but advanced features are always within reach via the WordPress (W) button contained within the “A Simple Backend” menu.

Reviews

Excellent and Needed Plugin

Omega Supreme September 13, 2017

This will be first review left on WordPress, and in future there will be more. This review is for the plugin A Simple Backend, and I have nothing but great things to say about it. It basically strips down the dashboard, and makes it simple to use for a client, while still using the full power of WordPress. This is a needed plugin for web designers who have clients that’s using WordPress for the first time. It’s also a needed plugin for user and clients who fear breaking their website. I’ve personally had clients who requested not having full Admin access to their website to prevent them from clicking “the wrong thing”. The list of pages are laid out along a clean margin, and editing a page is very simplified to just editing content and a save button. The plugin also displays helpful account information if there’s a need to contact the web host, and switching to the regular Dashboard can be done with a few easy clicks. The designer is friendly and quickly responds to any questions about the plugin.
