What is Business Catalyst?

Filed under: Business Catalyst — Tags: , — admin @ 9:14 pm July 27, 2011

BC is a hosted application for building and managing online businesses. Using our unified platform and without back-end coding, you can build everything from amazing websites to powerful online stores, beautiful brochure-ware sites to lead generation mini-sites.

Save Time with Templates, Pages, and Modules

Save time, preserve consistency and avoid duplication with templates. Our template system is simple – put the page elements you want to reuse in the template, and wrap your pages in templates. Simple, yet powerful. When you’re ready to add extra functionality, you simply layer your modules with a point and click approach.

Creative Freedom

You don’t need to learn anything special to design websites on BC. Instead you simply design your HTML, then layer our modules into your design. At its core, BC works like web hosting – in fact if you wanted to design a whole website without using our modules and then FTP it up to our servers – it’d work just fine. And that just means you’ve got all the creative freedom you need.

SEO & BC – We’re More Than Just Friends

Search Engine Optimization is essential for any online business, but good SEO starts with a system that supports good SEO practices. With BC, we’ve got the right features “baked in” – 301 redirects; SEO friendly URLs in our blogs, shopping cart, modules; customizable meta-tags; integration with Google’s webmaster tools… it’s all there.

Works With Familiar Tools in Familiar Ways

BC supports FTP to download and upload web pages, images, JavaScript, CSS, Flash and more. Dreamweaver users also get to use our fantastic Dreamweaver extension which plugs right into your workspace and puts the power of BC at your fingertips. Less time learning means more time doing.

Fool Proof Editing for Your Clients

Not that your clients are fools, but let’s face it – HTML is not normally your clients’ specialty. That’s why BC provides a simple and powerful in-context editing tool. Your clients see their website just as their customers do through a web browser, then they click the bits they want to edit. Easy.

Get Social with Blogs, Comments, Forums & RSS

Successful websites are easy to update and easy to engage with. With BC, your client can maintain multiple blogs; collect comments on posts, pages and products (and more); start up a forum and syndicate pretty much anything using RSS.

Content Holders

Sometimes when you design a site, you have some common elements that you want to re-use – but not all the time, so you can’t put them in a template. BC’s Content Holders take care of this by providing you with a way to centralize those common elements and re-use them on a page-by-page or template-by-template basis.

Secure Zones and Paid Memberships

Sometimes the best things in life aren’t always free. In fact, your client’s valuable content might only be for members that pay for the privilege to view it! BC’s secure zone’s modules, coupled with our recurring billing technology and web forms, allow you to build a “pay-wall” to protect your clients content and help them build recurring revenue streams.

The DotNetNuke

Filed under: DNN — Tags: , — admin @ 7:58 pm May 25, 2011

DotNetNuke is the leading Web Content Management Platform (or CMS) for Microsoft ASP.NET, powering over 700,000 production web sites worldwide. The flexible DotNetNuke open source CMS platform also functions as a web application development framework. Depending on your role within your organization, DotNetNuke provides powerful benefits to support your Web initiatives.

DotNetNuke for End Users

DotNetNuke is easy to use. End users can learn to post content to your web site in minutes. The simple yet powerful page editing tools let end users modify content without IT support.

The granular security model allows system administrators to precisely define web site access for end users at the site, page or module level. Users can access the right content for their contributions yet have no access to modify the rest of your web site. This provides end users with considerable freedom to modify content yet limited access to your overall web site.

The Content Approval Workflow feature available in the DotNetNuke Professional Edition and Enterprise Edition empowers your organization to take web content control one step further. Your web site can be configured with custom approval workflows so changes to your site must be reviewed and approved by whomever you define before the changes can go live on your site.

DotNetNuke for Business Decision Makers

DotNetNuke is a flexible Web Content Management Platform which provides organizations with low start-up costs and rapid deployment times. The platform allows organizations to rapidly implement winning Web strategies by installing DotNetNuke apps to easily change and control the appearance and functionality of your web site.

The DotNetNuke Professional Edition and Enterprise Edition are highly affordable options that ensure you have technical support if you need it as well as additional product features which provide even greater control over the appearance and functionality of your web site. The Community Edition is available as a free download. The Microsoft SharePoint Connector available in the Enterprise Edition allows your organization to keep your files safe behind your firewall in SharePoint yet publish them cost effectively and securely to your DotNetNuke public web site, extranet or intranet.
