Modular Site Design


Modules are the core of our managed website service. Each module provides a tightly knit set of features that can be added to a new website in minutes.

Every module ties into our administration back end, letting you edit and control its functionality. This is the core value of our managed websites - letting you edit your own website.

Another value of this modular design philosophy is financial, giving you custom-built functionality for commodity prices. Each module we sell represents hundreds of hours of development effort, but you pay only a fraction of that cost.

The final value is subtle but very important. When other development houses build a site, their financial goal is to do the minimal amount of work necessary to fulfill their contract. With an Irongaze framework site, this is not the case. Because we re-use and re-sell our modules again and again, we have every incentive to make them perfect.

Sample Modules


The following are a selection of our currently available modules, available for inclusion in any managed website we build.


Publishing dashboard

Publishing


A full-featured content management system (CMS) which utilizes our simple formatting and editing tools to let you create rich content without knowing HTML. You can embed live data, such as a list of upcoming events from a calendar, that are dynamically updated as the calendar changes.


 

Email account management

Email


We host all our websites on a server custom-built for the purpose. Adding the email manager to your site will allow you to create and manage accounts and forwarding for your domain, while providing advanced features such as mailing lists, black/whitelisting and out of office notices, all integrated into your site's administration console.

Features:
