The CI-CMS (Content Management System) is one of the most flexible, scalable, highly optimizable (SEO) and conversion configurable website CMS there is. Typically, template based sites are poor performing websites and only built for cheap mass production. CI has spent over 6 years developing a very powerful framework that allows a site owner who is more concerned with the sites overall performance than being able to sift through 1000 different theme options to pick a template. Our framework allows you to customize a site using the CI-CMS and then have a custom design built and "placed over" the top of the CMS through HTML, layout media libraries and a Global Stylesheets.
Our CI-CMS can be used for a website, blog or both. It is the core platform for all of our Website Options - Blog, Premier Website, Basic Website and Build your Own website. Our CI-CMS Upgrade option allows you to keep the same design as you have currently on your website or blog, but to recreate it on top of a more powerful and dynamic framework, the CI-CMS, Content Management System. This is an expensive way to improve and increase your websites scalability, flexibility, performance and optimization.
If you love your current website design, already have a custom design or you are looking at the most economical option, a CI-CMS Upgrade is the solution!
$1000 = CI-CMS Upgrade can be performed on the following sites:
You have a website that was/is a:
Website previously built by CI (2000 - 9-2010)
Wordpress Site or Blog
Joomla Site or Blog
Blogger
