THE NUTS & BOLTS
DNN is a dynamic database web solution where the application runs on the server rather than your computer.
What does this mean: You can make updates to your website from any where in the world on any computer as long as you have an internet connection.
Multiple people at the same time can make updates to the website from different computers. Specific people can be given specific access to part of the page, part of the website or all of it.
Because this is a database, the website can control start and end dates of content for you, you can make universal changes to the entire website in one action, all your images and documents are stored in the database for easy access, and much more...
PRICE
DNN is an open source product. So it is free. However, we do charge for the set-up of your DNN software. We have spent a lot of time becoming proficient with DNN and guarantee our installations will perform properly.
Once you pay $250 for the set-up and installation, you own it. Never pay for the newest version. Hosting fees average $25 per month and include free upgrades.
EASY OF USE
If you have used email or word and surfed the internet, then you will have a good understanding of this software solution. Even if you do not use the computer very often, we have had folks pick up DNN very quickly. It is intuitive.
Also, this software works with your time schedule. Make your changes at anytime and have them go live later and control when they are deleted. By just entering dates, the website does it for you.
Search Engine Optimization tools are built into this software. Because it is a database the search engines understand your web page's structure, giving websites built in this solution an advantage.
WEB MAINTENENCE
You will save money with this solution. You can make updates to all portions
of your web page and at the most convenient time for you.
There are no usage fees for this solution.

SCALABILITY
Because this is a database, you can start out with one page and move
into an amazon or ebay web site with this one solution. You will never
have to backtrack.
SECURITY
Security is built into the DOT NET Nuke DNN solution.
Create security roles and then assign users to the role you wish them
to have. You can give each page and module it's own security setting,
allowing all, some or one user access to edit and/or view that page or
module.
Give access to special information once someone has registered for your
site or after they have paid a fee or if they are an employee of the company
or...
Also, you can give people access for a certain amount of time as well.
The possibilities are endless.
MARKETING OPPORTUNITIES
The ability to gather email addresses, phone numbers and mailing information
is built into the DOT NET Nuke DNN solution.
Once the information is collected, it is stored in your database (the
website) and can be organized into different user groups.
A newsletter application is part of your website and allows you to email
one, some or all of your user groups.
The newsletter feature individually mails the newsletter to each person
on your list, eliminating the spreading of spam.
This is an invaluable tool for back end and direct internet marketing.
INTERNET CAPABILITIES
This solution is built for companies who need an intranet - communication
tool between individuals in an organization.
Because of the built-in security features, you can have an employee portal
or portals that can only be accessed after one as logged in with their
unique username and password.
A site log will tell you who was where and what they did on what day and
time. So if you need everyone to read a company file, this will tell you
is they did it or not.
Each department can have access to their own pages to make updates.
Communicate with everyone through the built in newsletter feature.
Again, the possibilities are endless.
SEARCH ENGINES
They love this solution. Because it is a database, it speaks their language
and the search engines know how to read your pages, giving you an advantage
in the Search Engine Wars.
VERSION CONTROL
You can have multiple people in multiple locations making updates to
the website simultaneously and not have to worry about overriding someone
else's changes. |
