Hi redgirl,

CMSB allows you to make permission based user accounts that allows your clients to make changes based on the parameters you have set up. You would give them the URL to the program, so they can log in with their account from anywhere they have internet access.

Let's say you have a product catalog and each product needs to display a Product Name, Product Description, and Product Image. You would create that section with those fields and then give your client access to create and modify products in that section. You can even limit how many products they can create. You can give them access to all or some of the sections you create.

If you have your clients long-term, then you only give them access to sections that change the content on the website and not access to the admin menus where they can really make a mess of things if they tried real hard.

If you are completing a project and turning it over to them completely, you give them access to the admin menu, but warn them of what they can and can't do with the program. Some parts of the admin menus they can manage such as creating other user accounts. Some parts require them to know and understand PHP/HTML programming in order to make the sections created show up on the website.

Let us know if you need further explanation or have other questions about CMSB.

thank you that is great and appreciate the quick response.

can also you answer these queries
  1. is the software license per site or can I use the software for more than one site.
  2. if i had a products sections I guess I can add paypal buttons but do you have a shopping cart component that can be added at all
  3. another client wants to added a blog or word press to a products site we are going to build, can this be linked to the database so there is only one login, eg. they login to the blog but then go shopping without changing their login details so they are in the correct country currency to make purchases

in reply to point 3 in original post I have asked our client what they want their website to do in total.

They want a shopping cart webshop and blog with the following:


1) Calendar for trade-shows etc

3) Flickr or picasa plug in for photo’s

4) Google map API for showing locations of our retailers and our communities

5) Youtube so we cna showcase movies about our communities or video blogs ABl makes

6) Facebook and myspace blog update application so we can automatically update our facebook pages with new posts

7) Mini blog panel we can locate on other pages or domains

8) Integration of Members database with email list and the a webshop

9) if a memeber logs into the shopping cart the product prices and delivery charges automatically appear in their country according to their membership details

10) if a member logs into the blog they can go to shopping area without login again and visa versa.

Hi redgirl,

CMS Builder does a great job of handling the content management part, but for the rest of this you're going to need to either get a lot of custom programming (it would be a _big_ project) or talk the client down for the first 1.0 version of their website.

Hope that helps.
