If you can use a word processor or just fill in the blanks, you can update your own website! This easy-to-use, innovative NexDir Content Management System for website maintenance was developed by Don Lashier, owner of Newport Internet. This is not your usual database system! NexDir has been designed so that end-users - people like you! - can update their own database easily through a form page on your browser (Internet Explorer.) You can update everything on your site from pictures to prices, your home page to your keywords!
This exciting development offers Website owners unprecedented ease in keeping their Websites up-to-date without having to pay a Website developer to do the updates. This can result in significant monetary savings since experienced developers charge $75 to $125 per hour. Best of all, the initial cost of building your website is usually lower than for comparable HTML sites.
NexDir is available ONLY for those with Websites hosted on Newport Internet.
How it Works
Once your website is set up by your Website Developer, you will be given a URL (web address), username and password. After typing your username and password into the sign-in page, you are taken to a page where you will be able to add, delete or edit items in your database by filling in the blanks, much like a reservation or order form. Once you save this information, it is automatically added to your website! It's that simple!
The NexDir system is invaluable to those whose Websites require frequent updates to membership lists, shopping inventory, listings of events, newsletters and other information. You can also upload photos with ease through the database.
Additional Benefits of the Database at Newport Internet
Art Gallery database pages allow artists to set up photos, dimensions and pricing for their artwork and all artwork entered in the database is automatically offered for sale on CoastArts.com, an art search site at NO additional charge.
Pricing
Newport Internet's commitment to offering its clients an easy-to-use database system has meant hundreds of hours of development and testing time. However, this customized database system is being offering at an extremely modest price to Newport Internet clients.
There is a one-time setup fee of $50 by Newport Internet for setting up your site and configuring your access (username and password). Website hosting for Websites using the database system is $25 per month for standard database sites and $30 per month for shopping cart database sites. Exceptionally large sites may cost more.
Your Website Developer - The Digital Diva - will develop your Website in the database. This is a one-time charge at $75 per hour. The time it will take to build your site varies depending on the type of site you require. Talk to the Diva for an estimate based on your needs.
Training
When your website is complete, you'll be trained by phone or in person to update your own website, add photos and other enhancements. You'll be able to access NexDir to learn about new features being added, along with instructions on how to add these features to your website.
REMEMBER…
This exciting new development is only being offered to Newport Internet clients..
