Content Managed Web Sites
If you're a bit of control freak (or your boss is), then you'd do well to have a web site that uses a Content Management System (known by us techie's as a CMS).
Our CMS is very user-friendly, as it was designed with non-technical people (such as marketing teams) in mind.

What's involved
Unlike a flat web site, a CMS web site is made up of re-usable templates that can be cloned and edited by YOU to make your site as big, detailed and deep as you want without having to pay for lots of pages. We design the key templates you need and then set everything up for you to use them - including some training to get you started (it's really easy to use anyway!)
There is very little restriction with what you can and can't do and having a CMS web site doesn't hinder the design process either.
Many useful features you might want on your web site can be setup with minimal fuss and effort, so you can have as many bells and whistles as you need knowing that it won't blow the budget (of course, we can help you pick the ones that will be the most effective).
A big saving
Unlike most CMS vendors (and agencies for that matter), we have a unique proposition for our clients - all the things that are considered 'hidden extras' are all free!
Here is what you get for free when you work with us to develop your CMS web site:
- Free hosting on our Microsoft IIS Server
- Free SQL Server Database
- No CMS Licence fees
- 10240 dedicated leased line
- Unlimited bandwidth and data transfers
- Free staging environment
All this is worth over £5,000 alone, but our long term investment in infrastructure and the platform means we can pass on the savings to you, rather than the cost. Pretty sweet right?
The Science Bit
If you're a bit of a geek, it might interest you to know that our CMS is a robust, enterprise class platform build on the Microsoft .NET Platform. It's a fully fledged Visual Studio Project and benefits from a full library of components and source control. Deployments are streamlined and content is kept separate from code.
It's a fourth generation piece of software, so it has lots of advanced features and a reliable and bug-free code base. Major releases come about once a year, with quarterly updates to keep it cutting edge.
