Google Maps Builder added to CMS Logic

May 17th, 2010

We just launched our new Google Maps builder in our CMS-Logic product.  This allows our customers to build their own Google Maps in their websites, and add pushpins to the map automatically.  We added a search to the map builder, so that you can build a searchable map for your website in minutes.   A great use for this new feature would be to add a “Dealer Locator” feature to your website.

The Google Maps module is now live for all Delaware.Net CMS/Ecommerce customers as a free, automatic upgrade.    These automatic feature upgrades come about once per month (or more frequently), and this is one of the major benefits of using our CMS over other open-source solutions.    Free upgrades, free support, free training, and better integration.

Training videos for the new Google Maps builder are being uploaded today, so you will be able to see training videos directly in our on-demand help system.

City of Harrington, Del., Chooses Delaware.Net

October 21st, 2009

The City of Harrington, Delaware recently awarded Delaware.Net the contract to rebuild their website.    Harrington researched web design companies from around the country.     The proposal from another competing municipal website design vendor for the city’s website was over $30,000 and a included a 3-year contract commitment for hosting the site.   By contrast, Delaware.Net prepared a strategy for the city to prepare a new website interface, install our proven content management system for cities, a request tracking system, a city Intranet, a new police department website, a mass emailing system, live training, and much more.  Delaware.Net saved the city over $15,000 with the project, and was able to offer more features and better support. » Read more: City of Harrington, Del., Chooses Delaware.Net

Alternative to CivicPlus for City Websites

October 18th, 2009

ICON Enterprises (doing business as ‘CivicPlus’) is a company in Kansas that specializes in building municipal websites.   My company (Delaware.Net) competes with companies like this from around the country when we bid on municipal website design projects.    We lost a couple of prospective new projects to CivicPlus in 2007 when we were in the middle of producing our own Content Management System (CMS) for government websites.     But in 2008, we had completed building and testing our CMS system for eGovernment websites, and we have won many municipal projects from around the USA ever since. Our new system is called CivicLogic. In this article, I will explain why our solution is better than some of the other options out there, and how we can help municipalities to migrate to our solution.

Here are some of the differences between us and our competitors;

How to create PDFs for free

July 24th, 2008

A question we hear a lot from customers is “do you know of a free PDF creator program?”. Yes!

A lot of our customers need to create Adobe PDF documents so that they can upload them into their websites (using our content management system), and also so that they can send them as email newsletter attachments.

There are several free PDF generators on the market, but the one that I like to use is called PDFCreator. It is an open-source project on SourceForge.net, and it works great. After you download and install the program, it becomes a print driver for Windows, so that you can create a PDF in any program that you use in Windows. So if you are working on a MS Word document, you click “print” and then “PDFCreator”. The program does the rest. Keep in mind that you won’t have all of the PDF markup and editing features that you would get if you bought the full version of Acrobat (Adobe’s program that creates PDFs).

Enjoy!

Team-Logic CMS – Better than Drupal

July 19th, 2008

There are many Content Management Systems (CMS) software packages on the market if you want to manage your own website content. Some are very inexpensive or free, and other enterprise CMS suites can cost over $100K. Delaware.Net offers our own system, called Team-Logic. It is neither costly nor free, and it is incredibly powerful but still easy to use. Prices start at $50 per month for the whole system.

There ARE cheaper open source solutions out there, and on the low end you have systems like Drupal, PHPNuke, PostNuke, .netNuke, Joomla, and others. These can be made to work if you have the time and patience, but for the most part they are solutions for non-profits and companies that don’t want to spend a lot on their website design work. I would never recommend them for a growing business that really cares about their website. Especially if they don’t have an in-house IT team. These low-end systems are well suited for a website where it is OK to use design templates for someone that wants to get up and running quickly. But there WILL be problems when using these systems, and like everything else – there is a trade-off.
