At Magnascan we can gather all the information from you and transform it into a great sounding and looking site.

We then research your market and your competitors to craft professional sounding wording that will leave your site visitors with a positive impression of your business.

Cms or 'content managed sites' are becoming more and more popular. Many clients have rapidly changing content that just does not permit the time to go back to the webmaster to do the changes, or just can't justify the cost of frequent website updates. If your site fall into this category, then a cms site is for you. We set up the site with the relevant amount of pages and you take over and add the content. Information is added through any web browser (internet explorer, firefox, safari, etc) with an access password by yourself or any number of contributors that you want to have access to the site, all can have individual usernames and passwords. The interface for adding article content is as easy as a basic word document. This access is called 'front end' and is the simplest way to manage your site. If you require more control you can have 'back end' access which gives you control over the site colours, layout, logos etc. See below the editor window that our CMS uses for you to edit your website articles, its actually the window from this web page!

CMS sites can include content features not readily available on other sites.

1. Multiple menus for exact content management and categorizing.
2. The ability to display live news, sports and weather feeds from external scources.
3. A sophisticated site visitor registration (login) system that gives you an accurate data base on your visitors and access control over what areas visitors and members can see.
4. Many sophisticated add-on components that can add specific functionality like Business Directories, Catalogues, Online Stores, Events & Hotel Booking Management, Real Estate Agencies, Car Dealers, Employment agencies, Email Marketing Management, Forums, Instant Messaging & Chat and Rental Stores.

As you can see, having your own content control need not limit the quality or effectiveness of you website. Give Magnascan a call to discuss your CMS website requirements.

How much does it cost?
A basic 5 page cms site set up ready to take content starts at $900, this includes one hours instruction on how to add the content. If, like a lot of people, you are too busy to work out how to add the content, we can install you initial information as a standard 5 page configuration for an additional $300. This would give you a fully functional website from the start and you can then learn the technical bits in your own time.
More complicated sites with multiple menus, rss feeds, customer logins, more than 5 pages etc, will be priced on an individual basis. It must be remembered that as the controller of your own website, you will be responsible for its management, and this will require some learning. Magnascan is happy to help out at the beginning but the support on a new cms site is for one week only, after that all requests for technical assistance will be charged.
