Custom CMS (Content Management Systems)

MSI has developed over the years several custom content management systems.  We are experienced in analyzing and developing custom content management systems for our clients.  Whether your business is large or small, we can help your business with a cost effective approach.  Don't be fooled with large corporate "enterprise" level solutions; such as those produced by Vignette.  A custom content management system developed in PHP / MySQL can be just as effective for most small to medium sized businesses.

Content Management System Features

Each Web site is developed with a custom look and feel to match the companies image.  We use a combination of a very well developed cascading style sheet, XHTML, javascript, and graphics to produce a template for each Web site.  The back-end of the site is developed with PHP and MySQL to produce a flexible, searchable database solution.

Custom Page Types:

Different page types allow for news articles and press releases to be integrated into any Web site with ease.  Pages can be displayed in custom listing, such as a Press Release summary, or individually.

Navigation:

Navigation elements are very flexible and allow you to edit top, left-hand and bottom textual navigation links.  You can also customize the page subject, URL, parent page, and more.

Fully Featured Editor (WYSIWYG):

Our full featured editor doesn't require any software.  It can be used from any computer with a MS Internet Explorer browser and an Internet connection, which allows for great flexibility.  For example, our clients who are typically on the road with their laptop computers can edit their Web site from any hotel with Internet access.

Another great feature that our Clients like is the "Past from Word" feature.  The editor allows you to copy and paste content from MS Word to the editor!  The content is cleaned and reformatted to XHTML specifications.  This is an incredible time saving feature.

Graphics can also be incorporated into the editor window.  Images can be aligned, resized and positioned in a number of different ways.  Images can also be uploaded to the server where they can selected and used on any page.

Cost of CMS Packages

CMS solutions start at only $3000.  This includes domain costs, hosting on our server, Web site design and/or integration of existing design, analysis of content management needs, and support from a company who understand your business needs.  Please contact us for more information.
