Site Manager – Content Management System

Introduction
Site Manager is a collection of web based applications for use as a sophisticated company website or intranet and allows people with the correct access level to do updates and manage the site from an administration area.

Each application has been developed in-house by Sound Idea Productions with specific attention to detail, robustness, and security.

Since these applications have been developed in-house, they can be customised to suit a company’s specific requirements. As standard, they will incorporate the appropriate branding and corporate identity. Each application's structure and functionality can be extended.

Site Manager and Modules
This application provides the website's core functionality. Used, as a company starting page, news, announcements and items of interest will be visible here. The system allows specific people the ability to log on and update the site content. Updating the site content is as simple as using a word-processor and requires no advanced understanding of HTML or its concepts. On a regular basis, the site's content is emailed out to specified groups of people within the company.

Client Database
This will supply the ability to add / delete entries from your existing client database. These entries need to be maintained for email mailing list purposes on the website.

Mass e-Mailer
The mass mailer will email tagged clients in your client database with the new website content, as well as specific information you would like to send out.

Advertisement System/ Engine
The advertisement system will allow the website administration to add / delete banner advertisements. The advertisements can be keyed to run over a certain period of time. Website administration will be able to see reports based on views and clicks of the banner advertisements.

Discussion Forum
A discussion forum system provides an online meeting place for users to discuss ideas, and comment on issues brought forward by their colleagues. The discussion forum is also extensible, allowing it to be placed in other applications where discussion structures are needed. This extensible functionality is implemented in the Website Content application where users are able to post comments on any of the articles listed there. The discussion forum contains a unique feature, which allows it to have more than one forum running at a time. Using this feature, a multitude of private discussions and brainstorming sessions can take place between specific groups of registered users in the system.

Other modules
Sound Idea has developed a range of other modules, including a Classified Ads System, Competition System, Shopping Cart, and Events Calendar etc.

Conclusion
Sound Idea has built up a vast library of modules or components as well as fully-fledged web applications over the last ten years. This means that we can provide you with a website or Intranet Site that contains a large amount of useful interactivity at a fraction of the cost of building such a site from scratch.
