Flarebox

Flarebox: Powerful websites, simply.

Flarebox is a CMS (Content Management System) which allows you to manage your own website. You can update content, add photos, run adverts, include movies, link it into Twitter, Amazon, ebay, Facebook and much more.

Think of Flarebox as the engine behind the success of your website. It is easy to use and can grow with your business. You can pay for the bits you need now and then add more modules later; and for the ultimate in flexibility we can add bespoke code to make it match your needs exactly.

Used by a wide variety of organisations (businesses / charities / villages / churches / schools / individuals / etc.) Flarebox will work for you:

Flarebox is very easy to use - divided into modules, each focusing on a specific task and each further divided into simple steps to guide you through the process. The administration system can also be set up to give access to only the modules needed by each user - let one member of staff blog and another tweet with ease (subject to appropriate modules being installed).

You can also use Flarebox to manage internal systems & as an extranet to allow your customers access to their data.

There is a lot more information on Flarebox on its own website: www.flarebox.com both this site and that one run on Flarebox.
