Triple Dog Dare Media's XippyCMS (pronounced Zippy!) allows small- and home-based businesses to manage their web site without a lot of know how.
Austin, TX (PRWEB) April 19, 2006 -- If you own a very small business, fewer than 4 employees, or if you're working out of that spare bedroom, where can you turn to for help with a web site?
Not too many places, it turns out. The choices aren't that appealing. You can spend a good deal of money on design and end up with a beautiful web site that you can't really manage that well. You can spend even more money on design and an expensive content management system (CMS), and end up with a beautiful site that you can't operate because it's too hard to figure out. You can spend a lot of money on design and use a free open source CMS, but then you spend a ton of money on developers who tweak it to your satisfaction and then move on to the next job.
In frustration, many small business owners are going to the hosting companies and creating web sites from pre-filled templates. The choices are limited, unprofessional, and rather restrictive--not to mention that your web site content is still either hard to manage or sitting on someone else's server. In these cases, you can't even plan an effective marketing campaign because your URL is part of some other long internet name.
What if none of that were suddenly true anymore? What if you, the small business owner, could get your hands on a quality web site manager that was easy to install and operate, and that covered 80% of your day-to-day needs? A system that was easy to "reskin" to a new look and feel, and customize to the behaviors needed by your small business?
What if this system allowed you to build pages, sidebars, navigation, and events; allowed you to upload and manage images and documents; allowed you to change the very look and feel of the web site, all from intuitive forms?
What if updating your web site was as easy as typing out a letter in a word processor? What if you could just zip right along, get your web site up and managing it whenever you needed to without another second thought?
You'd have more time for sales, right? For getting new customers, taking care of your existing customers, and growing your business, right? You wouldn't be stressing over your web site and what should be in it and how to update the home page because you have important news to share.
Because we thought we'd created something zippy, we decided to name our software XippyCMS. Why the X? Because traditionally that's how you name any product that is powered by XML. What's XML? It's a powerful technology that allows you to manage your web site without a database--but still getting all the benefits from a database-like environment.
In other words, you get all the upsides of a dynamic web site without having to figure out all the complexities of installing a database, keeping a database running, and making sure that your data is okay.
XippyCMS and XML do all that for you, in a fast little package that will keep your site powered for years. If that weren't enough, there's more: we built XippyCMS so you can easily upgrade the site with XippyPacks, adding new skins to your web site or totally new functionality or behavior by simply adding new files to the right locations.
How much is XippyCMS? Would you care to guess? Some companies sell very large Enterprise content management systems that cost more than $250,000. We've built custom content management systems for $100,000 and more. Our other CMS, designed for mid-range companies, usually sells for $10,000 to $20,000.
No need to have a heart attack! No way are we going to put a price like that on XippyCMS. Although it contains a lot of the functionality, versatility and power of our $10,000 system, we didn't think that you had that kind of money in your pocket. If you did, you'd already solved your web site problem a long time ago.
No, we know that you're in a jam, and that you only have less than a thousand dollars to spend. Because we knew you'd have other challenges to figure out, we knew that XippyCMS couldn't possibly eat up that whole amount...so we went a bit crazy and see if anyone took us up on our offer.
Here goes...we decided to let XippyCMS go for under $500. In fact, it retails at $400, sales tax included.
