At Cinematics Hosting we use a powerful portal technology to run all of our client’s websites. We have been using this technology for over three years and have found it to be far superior than basic HTML websites. Unlike a traditional HTML website, Portals are full CMS (Content Management Systems) which allows for an abundance of features. We have chosen to build our Portals upon the popular DotNetNuke framework. This technology allows for us to provide a very powerful solution at an added value for each of our customers. DotNetNuke is supported by an extensive community of developers and web designers worldwide.
Scalability
Each of our portal designs can grow with your business at anytime. Page creation is very simple and allows for quick additions of new pages or content. All new pages can be created through an easy to use interface directly on the website. There is no need to be a technical programmer to be able to add pages or content.
Security
Our Portals come with a powerful security model. This security allows for content to be controlled and viewed. As an example, if you only wanted registered users to see “Specials” this can easily be done. In addition you can specify individuals that can update your site or take part on user created content.
Functionality
One of the Advantages of using DotNetNuke portals is the extensive developer network. There are many commercially available modules (Plug-ins) that can be used. Some example modules are Ecommerce suites, calendars, photo galleries, and much more. In addition, we work directly with module developers to create custom modules for our customers. The portal can be expanded to meet almost any type of functionality requirement.
Ease of Use
Our customers love our portal designs for many reasons, but most compliments come from the ease of use. The portals are easily updated by our customers with no need to pay for additional design services. Our customers simply log into their sites and make changes. We even train each of our customers and provide an extensive help library.
