All of our solutions are primarily based on an Open Source, .net based Portal framework called DotNetNuke. DotNetNuke is an amazing application that allows for the rapid development of web sites that are powerful, flexible, attractive, and easy to maintain, even for people that don't know HTML.

You create a site in DotNetNuke by adding pages and then adding modules to each page. Modules include things like a contact list, an event calendar/list, Announcements, surveys, a data table, ... The base portal has 25 different modules built into it and a extension structure that makes it easy for developers to create new modules or modify existing modules to meet specific needs.

This module structure makes it easy, for the people within your organization to add information to the site without having to call a techie.

The software includes a Rich Text Editor that looks and works just like MS Word that makes it easy to create attractive content that can include pictures, links, multiple fonts and sizes and many other options. These options can also be limited on a per user basis or set utilize the same style as the rest of the site.

Contact us today so that we can show you how fast we can build you a great, functional website that will wow your clients, partners, or members.
