Manage Multiple Sites

Conveniently manage all your sites from one place, even if you have multiple hosting companies. All we need is an FTP or SFTP connection and a few minutes of your time.
FTP and SFTP Support

Surreal lives in the cloud, so there’s nothing to download or install. That makes it faster to get up and running and means you never have to worry about software updates—we handle all that for you.
Clients & Admins

Give clients access to edit their content without compromising your designs. Each client can be assigned to one or more sites, and you can create as many as you like. You can also assign administrators to help manage things.
Per-page Permissions

Specify which pages each client has access to. You can choose as few or as many you like. Permissions have been drastically improved in V4 and are easier than ever to use.
Live Editor

Select a content region visually and see your changes appear on the page before you publish. The Live Editor makes it easier than ever for clients to update their own content.
Rich-text Editor

Control what features each client has access to in the editor. Don’t want them to change the font color? Remove it. Not a fan of underline? Disable it. Every button on the toolbar is customizable.
Scheduled Publishing

Publish your changes automatically at a certain time. Scheduled publishing is perfect for those early morning updates where you’d much rather sleep in. Just set and forget it—we’ll do the rest.
Page Properties

Give clients access to edit the page title, description, and keywords to enhance SEO. You can even see a preview of what the page will look like in most search engines. (You can disable this option for clients.)
Drafts & Revisions

Need to save something and work on it later? No problem. Just save it as a draft and it will be waiting for you when you get back. You can also recall every revision to a page for up to six months.
Page Templates

Let your clients create new pages with templates. Just paste in the HTML source and they’re ready to use. You can create as many templates as you like for each site.
Easy File Uploading

Just drag & drop files to upload them. You can even upload multiple files at once. In the end, everything gets stored on your server where it belongs. (Some features require a supported browser.)
Image Editing

Make img elements editable to let clients swap out photos and upload new ones. Specify a width and height to ensure the aspect ratio never changes. Users will be able to crop images to get the perfect fit.
Full Source Editing

Edit the raw source code for HTML, CSS, JavaScript, and XML files. The editor features beautiful syntax highlighting with the option to clean and repair markup using HTML5 Tidy, CSS Tidy, and JS Beautify.
Analytics Dashboard

Link your Google Analytics account in a matter of seconds to give your clients access to important visitor information. View popular content, geographical visitor data, and much more.
Repeatable Regions

Add, remove, and reorder structured markup with the click of a button. Repeatable Regions are a great way to manage simple articles, photo galleries, and other repeating content.
Custom Paths

Keep your sites organized by specifying custom paths for documents, images, and media. When set, users will be restricted to these folders when uploading files.
Change Notifications

Get instant notifications when someone makes a change to their site. You can configure this option for each site in your account.
Activity Dashboard

See who edited what and when at a glance in the activity dashboard. Organize the dashboard by user, site, or page.
