add-on package installation service allowing you to manage dynamic content on your web
site easily. For as little as $250, you can have an add-on package of your
choice installed on your website. Most add-on packages require PHP and MySQL or ASP/.NET/MS-SQL. Choose
from great add-ons categories like: Calendar Manager, Photo Gallery, Content
Management System, and Collaboration Software.
Calendar Manager
An open source calendar manager provides features that are found in office programs such as Microsoft's Outlook. However, by choosing an application that is built to comply with Internet standards, you can eliminate the risk of being locked into a client whose features don't meet your organization's needs, while maximizing the flexibility and interoperability of your calendaring software. There are various calendar managers available each with a different emphasis or purpose. Example calendar managers are:
- Trumba Calendar - a comprehensive calendar publishing platform that encourages customers to interact with your events. Trumba calendars engage website visitors, improve event promotion, and can increase event attendance. Unlike typical passive calendars, Trumba calendars are interactive, easy to create and update, professionally designed, and support RSS and iCal feeds as well as the ability to subscribe to email updates.
It features an intuitive authoring environment makes it easy to create, update, and publish professional-looking, active calendars.
- WebCalendar - a PHP-based calendar application that can be configured as a single-user calendar, a multi-user calendar for groups of users, or as an event calendar viewable by visitors. WebCalendar can be setup in a variety of ways, such as...
- A schedule management system for a single person
- A schedule management system for a group of people, allowing one or more assistants to manage the calendar of another user
Designer Software can install an open sourced calendar manager package such as the above in your current website.
Photo Gallery
A Photo Gallery package can provide a simple means of grouping photos
for your customers or just displaying your photo portfolios. It is
a great addition to a wedding photographer's website to display his
portfolio as well as making private albums available on-line for his
customers to review. They are able to pick and choose photos on-line
and then place their orders for more pictures. Real Estate agents
can use the Photo Gallery to make albums of homes that are available
and even create categories for each city so prospective customers
can view complete photo shoots of homes for sale.
A few of the free open source photo gallery packages are E2 Photo Gallery, Gallery Server Pro, Gallery2
and Coppermine.
Content Management System
A Content Management System
(CMS) package can provide a complete website out of the box with provisions
to add all of the content through a backend administration interface without
knowing or using any web design at all. You can easily add front page
events, post news (for PDA's too), provide file downloads, let others
write reviews, create sections and topics and review website statistics.
Designer Software can provide the installation of many of the open source CMS packages available. There are at least 40 different ones available, each offering slightly different capabilities and are set up
a little differently. Two very good examples include Joomla and Drupal.
We look forward to helping you expand the possibilities of your current
website and your business.
