Every web site has different requirements, from applications like inventory management to marketing pieces using Flash animations, a web site should speak to a need.

Introduction to Content Management Systems

In addition to working with third party applications and a wide range of languages (ASP, VB.NET, PHP, JavaScript), Element & Stein has also created a custom Content Management System (CMS) built on .Net, VB.NET, and MS SQL.

Our CMS, based on a library of previous created applications called Modules, can be modified to fit any individual needs. Like a cobbler who knows the basic shape of the foot, the modules are our templates but not necessarily the finished product.

• Standard Modules are including in every build of our CMS.
• Add On Modules can be added to a current CMS.

The ultimate goal of a CMS is to empower you to take control of your web site. A good CMS should enable you and your staff to easily publish content to your website with minimal training required. Helping you effectively manage all images, media and text on your website by providing an array of tools designed to put control in your hands. Some CMS's are designed for web masters ours is designed for the web novice. Similar in style to Microsoft Word our CMS promises a lower learning curve. From one management web site you will be able to add images, and media without using other programs to upload to your web site. Please contact us for more information.

It describes the development method used for many pieces of software, where the source code (the computer code that describes how the software program should behave) is freely available for anyone to work on, modify, learn from, or use in other projects.
