What
is Web Content Management? |
 |
Web
content management is giving customers the ability
to edit the information on their web sites as often
as they would like, without needing any technical expertise.
|
|
What
is a CMS? |
|
A
CMS, or Content Management Server, allows multiple
users to edit their information and then share that
updated information with each other and the internet.
|
|
Do
I need to know HTML? |
|
No.
Think CMS allows the user to make content edits with
a “word processor” type interface. Developers
or users that are comfortable with HTML can click on
the source mode button and edit in HTML if desired.
|
|
How
technical do I have to be to run Think CMS? |
|
There
are no technical skills required to use Think CMS.
If you can use a simple word processor, then you can
edit and manage you web site content. There is, however,
some technical skill required when either converting
or creating your web site. Think Technologies or an
authorized Think CMS Developer can provide these services
at reasonable rates.
|
|
Is
Think CMS like Frontpage or Dreamweaver? |
|
No.
Frontpage and Dreamweaver are tools that developers
use to create web sites. The resulting sites are many
separate files, possibly scattered over many directories.
Think CMS allows users to manage and edit content without
having to sift through a maze of directories and files.
|
|
What
operating system do you use? |
|
Think
CMS is written for a Windows environment using Internet
Explorer 6.0.
|
|
What
database system do you use? |
|
Think
CMS is written for Microsoft SQL Server database. Developer
versions come with Microsoft SQL Server Desktop Database
Engine MSDE for development purposes.
|
|
Can
I try it for free? |
|
Yes,
all Think products are available for a 30
day try-before-you-buy download.
|
|
How
does a CMS License work? |
|
Any
Customer that uses CMS to “power” the information
on their site, must purchase a Production License for
that particular computer. As your web expands to additional
computers, you can purchase additional licenses. All
versions of Think CMS are scalable; price is based
on desired features.
|
|
Is
support included with my Production License? |
|
Yes.
We provided limited support to assist with the installation
process. Think also provides Product
Support Plans that assist Customers with the resolution
of non-installation, creation, and conversion issues.
|
|
Can
I rent the Think CMS rather than purchase it? |
|
Yes,
we offer Think CMS Production License under our Hosting
Plans. We do not rent Think CMS Developer License
Editions.
|
|
Who
owns the software? |
|
You
are purchasing a License to use the software under
the terms of the EULA (end user license agreement).
Think Technologies owns the software. You cannot resell
the software.
|
|
Does
Think Technologies offer training? |
|
Yes.
We offer training sessions for developers and end-users.
Our on-line demos are definitely sufficient to teach
end-users how to use the system. Developers should
attend a Think Technologies training seminar. We do
offer personal training for ½ day and full day
rates, $500 and $1,000 respectively. Large companies
are recommended to have as many developers as possible
attend these on-site training sessions as possible
since the rate is based on time, not by attendance.
Rates do not include travel costs to consumer site. |
|
Does
Think Technologies offer customization of the product? |
|
Yes.
Think Technologies offers complete customization of
all Think products. We can schedule a meeting with
your personnel to discuss your business requirements.
Every customization must begin with the purchase of
a Production License.
|
|

do I get a customization quote? |
|

|
|
Can
I restrict users from viewing/editing certain content? |
|
Yes.
Think CMS comes with full security, access and approval
control. You decide who has the authority to manage,
manipulate, or maintain your site.
|
|
Can
I rollback to an earlier version of my site? |
|
Yes.
With Think CMS you can keep previous versions, manage
seasonal looks, or simply change you mind and return
to a previous version; all at the click of a button.
|
|
How
much does it cost to become a Think Products Reseller? |
