OPTION 2 - BLUEPRINT OUR 'OFF THE SHELF CMS SYSTEM'
BLUEPRINT is our off the shelf content management system that offers a wealth of standard features. Once your site has been built you only pay a yearly low cost site rental fee that includes website hosting and email! Unlike some CMS package systems that you can buy BLUEPRINT really is simple, if you can use a computer you can update your site, no need to know web code or even how to ftp. The changes you make are easy to manage and the results are instant.
BLUEPRINT Examples:
The BLUEPRINT standard package includes:
CUSTOM WEBSITE DESIGN
At Blue House we don't believe in rolling out templated designs like many other web companies do. We understand that every site should be unique to the clients brand and that is why even with our off-the-shelf solution we offer bespoke design as part of the package.
UNLIMITED WEB PAGES
Create as many pages as your site requires while organising how they will appear in the sites navigation menu with our easy to use online control panel. You can also add pages under sub drop down menus, giving you complete flexibility over your content.
NEWS FEED
A news feed is always a great feature to have as it appears on all pages as a shortcut to the latest news articles keeping your users up to date with whats new. With BLUEPRINT you can specify how many news articles you would like to feature in the feed.
DIFFERENT PAGE TYPES
When you create a web page with BLUEPRINT you are given the option of what type of page it will be. If you specify 'Gallery' for example when you edit that page it will include the ability to add a gallery of images that when clicked to enlarge on your website will open in an animated pane. Another page type is 'Document Download' which will allow you to upload common document files for your users to download like PDF, Microsoft Word and Excel.
STANDARD CONTACT FORM
BLUEPRINT includes a standard contact page with an email form so your visitors can easily get in touch. You can specify in the online control panel what email address you would like messages to be delivered to, you can even tell the system what you would like the title of the email to be to differentiate it from your other mail.
ONLINE CONTROL PANEL
We have already mentioned the BLUEPRINT online control panel, this is where you will add new pages, edit content and generally manage your website. The control panel is password protected and you can even add extra users to the system. When a page is edited the system logs who made the change and at what date & time so you can keep track of who is changing what.
