Starting from version 5.1 Bitrix Site Manager comes with a completely rebuilt Control Panel interface. More than 300 forms and pages were totally redesigned. Users now enjoy the following new concepts:
- new Smart Interface with flexible settings;
- the late-breaking innovative technologies (AJAX);
- response speed increase;
- product usability enhancements.
Site management is the everyday work, so we made our best for you to enjoy it.
AJAX is a web development technology that is used to create interactive web applications. The intent is to make web pages feel more responsive by exchanging small pieces of data with the server behind the scenes, so that a web page does not require complete reload each time a user initiates a navigation action. This increases the web page response, speed and usability.

What Experts Say
New interface design development has been carried out by the Bitrix engineers.
Vadim Dumbravanu, Vice CEO, Bitrix Inc.:
"Having passed a long way towards a new interface concept, we have achieved the goal to ease and boost the web site management.
The Smart Interface preserves all the capabilities to which that our clients got used. It makes the work comfortable and pleasant for both newbies and professionals.
The Smart Interface fully satisfies the contemplated requirements and is positively accepted by the users."
Eugene Eryomin, Web Designer, Bitrix Inc.:
"It took us a long time and great efforts to redesign the interface. At the beginning, over a dozen of interface sketches were suggested, but only one was chosen.
Lots of image files, more than a hundred of icons were created for this interface.
I hope users will enjoy the new interface - our team have done their best to make it."

- make common operations faster; avoid routine - all the frequently used operations are optimized;
- reduce mistakes - the Smart Interface eliminates mistakes, minimises repair time.
The Smart Interface is continuously improved. All the latest available interface updates can be downloaded using the SiteUpdate technology.
