We do the geek stuff, so you don't have to

əCMS is a hosted solution, so there is nothing for you to download or configure — and let's be honest, you have better things to do than manage a bunch of web servers. It also means you get the benefit of free upgrades^† and bug fixes.

On the off-chance that one of your clients stumble across this site, we don't list prices here just in case you charge a markup (which is totally cool with us). We will say, though that the prices are pretty reasonable. Just shoot us a quick email and we'll happily send you out the latest price lists.

We have servers on both the west and east coasts of Australia, and we try place your clients on a server geographically close to them. We also have future plans of adding servers overseas for off-shore clients.

We also offer VPS solutions — effectively your own server just for your clients. We'll even keep your əCMS install up-to-date for you^‡. It comes with it's own server control panel, which makes adding a new client and installing əCMS a cinch.

Requirements

The əCMS admin interface uses the latest web techniques, and may not work in older browsers. The admin interface has been tested and certified in Firefox 3+, Internet Explorer 7+, Opera 9, Safari 3+ and Chrome 1+. Having said that, the admin area is completely removed from the frontend, so you can target any browser you like for your client's sites.

Why does əCMS exist?

əCMS has been built for a reason. Need a blog? It doesn't do that. What about a CRM? Nope. əCMS is a content management tool, and it does that really well. It's hosted, so you don't have to spend days tearing your hair out, trying to work out why you can't upload files. It doesn't include a vast array of features that you will never use — it simply lets you build successful, content driven websites for your clients.

əCMS has been built by MadPilot Productions so they are probably a good place to start if you need some help.

† Free upgrades apply to the core əCMS and any modules that have already been installed, assuming no site-specific modifications have been made. Of course, you can always ask for other modules to be installed when they become available — feel free to contact us and ask for the current pricing.

‡ Whilst the əVPS solution is not limited to hosting əCMS sites, installation of third-party packages may void the free upgrade agreement. It's best to ask first if you have specific requirements.
