Typo3 Page Three
The following list represents an overview of what a Typo3-based, Fuse Internet site can do:
Intuitive Back-end
Admittedly in general, everyday life, who knows if this is a good thing. In the internet, rest assured, it is. In order to control what your customer sees you need a hidden part of the site- a control centre. This the basic and maybe most important part of a CMS. The back-end of a Typo3 site is instantly recognisable as a windows-like file tree; every section and level of your site is easy to find your way around and immediately accessible. A perfect basis for absolute content control.
New Pages
Your site isn't an end result, it's a framework. We generate this framework and the look you want but once you have that you can develop your site as you require. In other words, without any prior knowledge you become the web developer of your own site. Create new pages, new subsections, and potentially even generate new sections on your navigation section.
On-The-Fly Image Manipulation
If you're not sure what that means, this will probably be a great feature for you. Most people want pictures in their site but not everyone's a designer with the knowledge of dpi, file formats and compression settings. We can give you a site where you can upload almost any image-based file type onto your site and it will automatically be converted, resized, compressed and positioned to your specifications. Yes, really...
Rich Text Editor
You've got your new page, want to put some text in it but require it to look a certain way. With Typo3 it's possible to control your text with a similar interface to a program as recognised as Microsoft Word. In other words, when adding or modifying text you have many of the font and character formatting options available in Word. Even more, even better control.
Direct Mail
Typo3 has an impressive direct mail option. Obviously you may just want to send simple emails to one person at a time but many companies would benefit from advanced bulk email options. In Typo3 you can send bulk emails, send HTML emails, create web pages and send them, create user groups so certain information will reach selected recipients, and there are fully customisable address books.
Access and Permissions
Your website isn't just a brochure, it's a working tool and another way for you to dynamicallly interact with your customer. You can have one section where new and potential customers have access to information about your company and other sections soley available to designated clients which are accessible by passwords. In these sections you can discuss client specific information securely and confidentially. And you can generate as many password protected and appropriated sections as you require. Far from the white elephant sites of the dot-com boom, this level of practical, commercial functionality provides you with an unparalleled edge over your competitors.
Maintaining Control Within And Without
Not only do you need control over who's using and has access to the visual aspects of your site, you need to have control over the administration of your back-end. You can assign admin levels determining who can control particular parts and sections of your site and you can allot roles and website related jobs through a task centre. Yet another feature which helps you to manage your website safely and efficiently.
Made A Mistake?
Don't worry, with a Typo3 site everything's potentially fixable. With a full history and logging section, you can undo and change any mistake you've made. This is great news for the technophobic amongst you- don't worry, you can change what you like and you won't irretrievably break it if you make a mistake.
Looking Good
You may expect that such high levels of functionality and standardisation must be offset against aesthetic flexibility. In other words, to guarantee that a site is capable of all the above, you must have to work within certain structural parameters which will limit how the site can look. Not so: your site can still look how you want it to look. We at Fuse Internet can produce the design for you or you can provide a design but whichever you choose, all the above is still possible.
All this sounds too good to be true? Don't take our word for it, try it. To take Typo3 for a test drive please contact us and we will send you the appropriate details. (Please note that there are conditions of use with the demo site and you will be expected to respect those conditions.)
Or you are thinking: sure this sounds great but it's going to cost me an arm and a leg. Well see for yourself with our price list.
