Hello

[Richard Conyard]

Hi,
Thought I'd say hello properly. Been in web development for over 10 years now, but not so hot on the business side of things so I'll look and learn :-)

That looks like a lovely CMS! Do you provide the scripts for customers to use serverside, if so what are the server requirements? Looks like its aimed at big businesses, so am I right in guessing it needs quite specific server-side resources?

Welcome to the forums!

[Richard Conyard]

It is aimed at business, but I wouldn't necessarily say big business. The enterprise and government flavours are in the higher brackets, but the standard version comes in at £2,500. Which given what is included should be about three times the price.

Clearly its well made and well priced, but I was wondering about the back-end. For example, if its compiled binary applications, the person(s) using it would really need control over their own server (I'm just really, really, nosy). Do you work on the software alone or as part of a development team?

Can I also make a suggestion; that you provide an example with access to (though no control over) the administration pages? Whilst the output looks great and well structured, I am (pretending I'm a customer) unsure as to what control I'm going to have.

Are you looking for places to advertise that would get you lots of interest? I can probably recommend a few sites for advertising your product.

[Richard Conyard]

A demonstration can be requested through the site, I don't allow direct access without contact because it's easier to talk people through certain parts.

For your nosiness it's build on: SQL Server 2K, COM DLL, ASP, XML and XSLT. Only the DLL would cause any problem for a hosting company, although we do offer hosting + support.

If you could suggest a few places to advertise that would be great, I am trying to put various bits and pieces together on this front at present.

Hi Richard Welcome :)

[Webstuff]

Quite a few servers support 3rd party DLL's if you pay them enough ;)

Heres one link to start with;
http://www.hotscripts.com/

It may seem a little too obvious, but they provide you with a massive amount of visitors / customers for free. I've put various of my small projects on there before and had great success.
