information and resources via a common interface without technical requisites for administration and publishing. They allow the source of the knowledge be the publishers of web content rather than designated technical personnel (web developers).

Add new comment Doug St. Clair CMS Sample Fri, 11/13/2009 - 09:50 — admin http://www.ingeniux.com This site offers a site hosting and "On-demand Software As A Service" plan, which

is a completely managed (hosted) CMS solution for a monthly fee. The service allows companies to provide web content that otherwise wouldn't have

access to hosting capabilities. The infrastructure at ingeniux also offers server redundancy, allowing guaranteed

up time for both the site and the CMS solution. This provides a built in disaster recovery solution.

Beyond CMS the service also provides subscriptions to "Google Search Appliance and Analytics" and hosted databases.

templates allow the designer to have more control than a few others. Seems to be a lot like word press which is suppose to be one of the best cms's according to:http://net.tutsplus.com/articles/web-roundups/top-10-most-usable-content...

Courtney Clare Fri, 11/13/2009 - 09:46 — admin http://www.nma.ca/ This content management system has built in discussions, forms, surveys etc. This is fast and

very easy to update the website. Add new comment Ryan Hefner CMS webpage Fri, 11/13/2009 - 09:44 — admin http://www.reassurering.co.uk/ Promoting their call service to mature adults living on their own. You can set up a time where a

team will call you to make sure you are ok. They have a phone number listed on the site where you can buy their product.

Overall website design is good. It is simple and easy to navigate and the main menu's are easy to find. Color choice is good too, not straining on the eyes and easy to look at.

the screen with the content in the middle. There's a place for a banner, also. Add new comment Brad Clouston "ingeniux" Fri, 11/13/2009 - 09:43 — admin http://www.ingeniux.com/

This CMS has a very high reputation for support. "end-to-end implementation services, and strategic consulting."As well they offer tutorials and references for better ease of use. Lastly they notify you when upgrades to the system are available.

Add new comment Nate Fri, 11/13/2009 - 09:41 — admin http://php.opensourcecms.com/ This seems like a good site because it lets you try out the CMS systems before you buy so you

can make an informed decision that will suit your needs the best. Add new comment
