Hey guys, Disclaimer: I'm selling and asking for opinions because we have just made a product that fits this thread. I have been here and a member of this list but really as an observer. We just started a small company specializing in content management....we started after some local companies started asking for sites with content management.......that was affordable. Most of these people do not have developers on staff or just didn't want to put the resources out to have it done. So we started up running as an ASP.
So we made a system that we call ISP manager, written in asp using SQL, IIS We have a 1 codebase model. All sites are managed from a central location/interface. Clients can also log on to manage the site Here is a list of the Admin (god mode) management features Change Account - change your account User Manager - manage users Event Manager - calendar of events Guestbook Manager - deny or accept entries Newsletter Manager - send news letters Document Manager - Manage web pages Document Type Manager - create and alter page types Format Manager - re-usable formats Image Manager - manage images File Manager - manage files Navigation Manager - manage navigation Site Manager - change templates, CSS, email address for forms Template Manager up load new temlpates Public Format Manager - formats used by everyone Public Image Manager - Images used by everyone Logoff The only thing we hide from clients are: Site Manager - change templates, CSS, email address for forms Template Manager up load new temlpates Public Format Manager - formats used by everyone Public Image Manager - Images used by everyone We integrated a 3rd party WYSIWYG editor for editing docs (pages in our system) We have some clients that requested this service but honestly we make software not market products....well until now anyway. I really just want some feedback to see if this is a "good"...heh..product and if there is a market for it. We are so new to this we don't even have pricing. For this It's been a client by client bases so far. We are serving the small to mid-size business market due to network size and band width at this point. What pricing model is fair? Is it even marketable as a stand alone product? Any technical advice? Any opinions or ideas are welcome FYI our page is being put up and worked today But its www.powerwebx.com Thoughts please.. ----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Lennart Regebro Sent: Monday, January 13, 2003 2:53 AM To: Nik Martin; Austin, Darrel; [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [cms-list] Looking for simple (low cost) CMS.... need suggestions From: "Nik Martin" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Online WYSIWYG site editors are SO not CMS's. > Think about what Ms. Myrtle in accounting could do > to her accounting departments' public-facing website > with a WYSIWYG editor, Comic Sans 14pt and a > 216 web safe color palette?
