Listed below are just a few of the reasons our Content Management System (CMS) is selected over competitor CMS systems. You can read more on our .NET Content Management System CMS benefits page, where we look into the history of our .NET CMS and why it could be the right choice for you and your company.
1minus1 CMS's usability and intuitiveness is unparalled. Although it is an extremely powerful piece of software, you can learn how to use 1minus1's CMS within 30 minutes - comfortably. One of the key considerations in creating our content management system was to ensure that anyone can use it to update their website in highly interactive ways, with virtually no learning curve. We believe we've achieved that objective. All the complex functionality is handled in the back-end of the system, and users have an extremely simple, intuitive interface (see image above) to control it. There is no real training involved and anyone can use the system - whether you are a manager, an administrator a PA, or a one person business.
1minus1 CMS is affordable and highly flexible. Quite simply, you can pick and choose the features you require and tailor it to your budget. In this way, you can manage the costs of the system down to the finest point. Alternatively, you can choose the Enterprise version and get access to all of the systems powerful features. Finally, you can choose whether you wish to have technical support as part of the package or not. The choice is yours.
1minus1 CMS uses the industry standard Adobe Dreamweaver to control the look and feel of its web pages by utilising its powerful, simple to use template creation system. Web page creators get to use the industry leading tool of choice to create their web pages, and then simply upload them into the system ready for content managers to add their content. As a result, unlike the vast majority of Content Management Systems, there really are no limits to your website's look, feel and layout.
1minus1's .NET Content Management System is search engine centric, not merely search engine 'friendly'. Pages are ready to be accessed by search engines all the time, not held in the database until they are requested. The webpage addresses created are totally standard and as soon as you publish them your web pages will be there waiting for search engines to index it. A 1minus1 CMS website is an ideal platform to start or develop your search engine optimisation strategy.
For those who require it, 1minus1 CMS includes a .NET email campaign system that enables you to send personally addressed emails to your email database. The system can track who opened the email, who visited your website by clicking a link in the email, and who downloaded a document from your website. This enables you to have a much clearer idea as to the success of your campaign.
Your website will be as clean, fast and standards compliant as the web designers and web developers who make it for you are able to make it. No extra code is inserted in the pages - only the text content you are adding. If your webpage builders have created great code (if you have worked with 1minus1 to design your website, they will have!), it will stay great. No extra code whatsoever is outputted from the CMS into your web pages.
Microsoft's .NET provides an industry leading scalable technology to handle your website. Specifically, 1minus1 CMS uses the ASP.NET 2.0 platform with C# with SQL Server 2005. For those who would prefer it, there is also a .NET 1.1 version available with SQL Server 2000.
