The Arpeggio WebSite Management System

You can receive all the benefits of the Arpeggio Web Worx content management system without a capital expense, by leasing the services using a hosted version. This has the advantage of receiving our ongoing updates and upgrades without effort or maintenance contract costs, and allows you to charge the system as an operating expense. All of the modules are available this way, and we highly recommend it.

The Arpeggio suite of modular website management software constitutes a complete solution for your company web site needs. From managing web content, to sending email newsletters, to maintaining your online store, the system provides an integrated solution.

The existing set of modules, displayed at left, includes website management and user management systems, contact management tools, newsletter facilities, e-commerce systems, community building forums and scheduling systems, promotional and advertising tools, marketing systems, and much more. Arpeggio Web Worx continuously advances the website management system with improvements and with new additions.

Licensing:

Our licensing system is per site, per module, and is not increased by the traffic to the site, as with some other competing products. Once you lease a module, it will run on your site domain until you decide to cancel it. If your traffic increases, there is no additional fee. View the License Agreement.

The Core CMS Content Management System:

The Core CMS is the foundation of the website management system. The content management system in the Arpeggio Core CMS Module is based on a familiar interface for editing documents, similar to that found in most Windows applications today. Content can be edited directly within the system, so there is no need to purchase additional HTML editor software, although if you prefer, you can import standard HTML from another source into your pages.

See the Core Module for details.

Search Functionality

Because the Core CMS module also includes search functions, all text added to pages within the content editor is automatically spidered for content, thus making the search tool easy to use and more effective. In addition to this, the category system, also built into the Core CMS module, acts as both an information architecture tool, as well as a classification control system for search functions.

End User Navigation

At the heart of the website management system is the Category Manager. The category manager functions as the end user navigation structuring system. The web content administrator builds an information architecture system and search index, on a high level, while creating navigation for the site. Categories are also used within the e-commerce system, for catalog organization and for grouping of products. The category system, definable to 6 levels, thus ensures a completely searchable site, while making the classification of information easy.

See the Category Manager for details.

User management is handled from within the Core CMS module, and provides for permission based access to editing functions, "public content" and calendar or login area content. The system allows for the administrator to assign permission to content classed by user defined fields, so that a user can log in to the protected area and view only what was assigned to that user level. Affiliate users, for example, can log into affiliate related content and editing functions, while public users can log in to the same area, but will only have access to appropriate materials. Because the user management functions are integrated into the Core CMS module, they are available to any add on modules as well...

See User Management for details.

Design Management

The Core CMS, which is the web content management system, also includes functions for managing the look and feel of the site, with the ability to edit existing or create entirely new design layouts within which the content of the site is displayed. The tools are identical to the editors used for page layout and other content management functions, so there is no additional software needed.

See the Design Manager for details.

Built In Image Processing

The Core CMS module integrates a third party server based image processing system into the content management tools of the Arpeggio suite, making it unnecessary to have a third party image processing software package, such as Adobe Photoshop or Macromedia Fireworks, available to the administrator, saving great expense. Additional integration with this fabulous system is underway and will be incorporated into the next version upgrade release of the Core CMS module.

The Contact Management System:

The Promote! contact management system comprises a comprehensive contact and list management system, enabling administrators to send email newsletters, or individual promotional pieces in text only format, HTML only, or multi-part format that allows the recipient to view the content regardless of their email client software capabilities. Batch email can be sent, or individual emails, or to any filtered (sorted) grouping of recipients using user defined fields. This system is among the most useful modules in the Arpeggio suite, as it provides for both communications and site promotions.

All contact data can be downloaded from the site in either Word, Excel, or comma separated values format, as well as in SQL database format for backup. The records can also be downloaded in label format for printing and use in land mail.

The new version, currently in development, will include contact tracking features to facilitate sales force automation. This feature is currently unavailable.

See Promote! for details.

E-Commerce Systems:

The Sell! module comprises the Arpeggio comprehensive e-commerce solution, including product catalogs, classifications, search functions, ordering shopping cart systems, order tracking processes, shipping charges calculations, inventory control, payment processing, and related functions.

The system integrates completely with the other modules. User management is handled from the Core CMS system, as usual, and all contact data is returned to the contact management database as well.

This system is a comprehensive online store. In the upcoming version, there will be capabilities for coupon redemption, enhanced catalog management, and much more.

See the Sell! Module for details.
